Faceit has become the go-to competitive platform for CS2 players, offering a more skill-focused matchmaking system than standard CS2 ranks. Understanding Faceit Elo is crucial if you want to climb the competitive ladder, improve your matchmaking, and see where you stand among the best.

In this guide, we’ll cover everything from Faceit levels, Faceit Elo ranks, and CS2 rank conversions, all in a gamer-friendly, easy-to-read format.

What is Faceit Elo?

Faceit Elo is a numerical value representing your skill on the platform. Unlike CS2 ranks, which are fixed divisions, Elo adjusts after every match depending on your performance and your opponents’ skill levels.

Winning increases your Elo.
Losing decreases it.
Match impact matters: MVPs or outstanding play can give extra Elo.

Think of it as a dynamic skill score: higher Elo = higher skill.

Faceit Levels Overview

Faceit has a level system from 1 to 10. Levels are tied to your Elo:

2	400 – 599	Silver Elite – Gold Nova I
3	600 – 799	Gold Nova II – Gold Nova Master
