hello!
I'm gonna be streaming some FPL (New IDEC) games, either playing or watching while waiting for a game. Teamspeak and some music during games probably.
Surely not as good as a ticket but untill it's released feel free to join my 2 loyal viewers :)

So Face It pro league is basically EEL without the 4k players that spammed a single hero to get to 6k mmr, joined the league, found out it wasn't an all pick pub game with no coordination, quickly got 5 losses and got unvouched, just to have 2 more taking their place? It actually sounds pretty good.
FACEIT Pro League as an inhouse league where only ~80 players have access at the moment and are playing.
Most of them are professional players, with exceptions like Wagamama or exactly the player who is streaming right now (And is very talented).
Anyone can obtain a vouch in the league by playing http://play.faceit.com and finishing Master League monthly season as top 3.
Read more about it here http://pro.faceit.com
your non pro league is absolute horror..
I feel it's bad that you dont have anywhere people can write vouch requests, basically you need to be very connected or do a massive grind to obtain a vouch. Myself I dont think I will be doing the grind it seems like it takes way to long and you have to suffer through alot of bad to get to the good eventho im 100% sure I could play in that league without any issues and i also have the statistics to back that up.
You really don't need to make some massive grind, after 3 games you'll be placed in the masters league (assuming you are 5-6k).
Then you need to grid masters league yes, but not like you gotta go through months of playing 3k mmr leagues..
and I mean, I kinda understand not having "vouch requests" because it's really hard to judge unless people know you. Sure, it will bring good players but also lots of bad ones.
If you only vouch based on recognition (not that i'm known or anything lmao) then you might miss out on some good guys, but you'll keep the average level way higher.
Are you sure people in Master League games are only 5-6k?? I have had a lot games now with people i suspect where definitely way below what i see in any 5k+ game... I always am very sceptical of these leagues but I guess I will keep playing the ladder thing and see if it improves T_T
What do you base this on and what do I do if I'm not wanting to do this massive grind since I'm busy with i.e scrims if I want to play in the FPL?
Ontop of that TheCoon is a known ES/Meepo abuser, I know he has high rating but I'm not exactly sure about his skill.
The vouch requirements are REALLY high. Even some teams that you see everyday in tournaments couldn't get one. If TheCoon is there it means that the professionals think he is good enough and is very talented. As for the grind well, everyone did it to get into inhouse leagues at some point. It's the best place to meet professional players, end up as a standin and meet friends for new team. Most of the professional players today started their careers exactly by entering an inhouse league.
So grinding is pretty much worth the time if you want to go pro.
can't be that high when notahax is vouched =)
Seems like it'll go the same way as EEL in no time if the vouch rules are this lax. :)
Guess I'll ask the pro players I know then.
If you're busy with scrims getting vouched sholdn't be a problem, win scrims against good players (or do well whatever) and ask them to vouch for you.
? He can't spam ES in this league because it is CM, and teams can just ban meepo and if he doesn't belong he will lose.
It's fineeeeeee
He gained recognition primarily by getting high rating by abusing ES.
Do you understand?

Right now he is on a team with Era, mad, aloha +1.
tfw I got placed in the gold aka. middle bracket
bad fucking feel
If I que on faceit I get 3k and 5k players at the same time in my team
Thats too much even for me
Sweet, thanks for doing this. I'd especially love to hear the team chat, will be watching the stream when I can.

Any word on when the dotatv ticket will be available?
no idea, but I'm assuming it will be as soon as possible. Item-less tickets don't take a long time IIRC, and everyone involved is very very connected with Valve (IceFrog in friendlist level of connected), so it shold be quick.
We are working on another solution...something awesome :P
Should be finished soon!
because of good streams like this, i cant wait for faceit to have them all together in the pro league site :D. just imagine easy access to high level streams that you know they are gonna produce good games...
Thanks!
Sadly, I am not having a good experience in normal Faceit games. I will, however, continue playing, as I have high hopes for the platform - I know it's still in development, so I will let it slip my final judgement for now.
If anyone from faceit is reading this: It would be very good to have people's mmr visible (since you have the data), possibly a way to dodge matches etc.
I also don't want to play with/against stacks when I am playing solo. I would also like to avoid players that are in LPQ or muted and came to Faceit just to shit up the experience (I know that will be hard to filter). What I think you guys need to do is make a competative bracket, where players that are not quite tier 1, but still very good at the game can play to avoid mediocre players.
why not just win all your games and move on
