The easiest way to check your Elo on FACEIT is on faceit.com: once you log in, your current Elo points and your level (1 to 10) appear on your profile and next to your avatar in the site header. To see another player's Elo, search for their nickname on FACEIT and open their profile. Your Elo history and peak Elo are easiest to find in the CS2 stats section of your profile or in third-party stats services.
Below we cover what Elo on FACEIT is, how points are awarded and where to find your own numbers and other players'. If you are new to the platform, start with our guides on how to register on FACEIT and how to play on FACEIT in CS2.
What Is Elo on FACEIT
Elo is FACEIT's own rating system, separate from the ranks in CS2 itself. The game has its own systems: Premier with a numeric CS Rating, and Competitive with per-map ranks from Silver I to Global Elite. FACEIT uses its own 10-level scale, and your level is set by your Elo points.
In practice, your FACEIT level plays the same role as a CS2 rank, only on a different platform with its own matchmaking and anti-cheat. To check your Elo on FACEIT, you first have to earn it: the rating is built from your match results, so it pays to queue with reliable teammates or at least keep communication clear.
How Elo Is Awarded
FACEIT does not publish the exact formula, but the principle is known: you gain points for a win, lose them for a loss, and the size of the change depends on the rating gap between the teams. When the teams are roughly even, a match moves your Elo by about 25 points. Team balance affects the result:
When a stronger team beats a weaker one, it gains fewer points than usual.
When a weaker team beats a stronger one, the winners gain extra Elo and the losers drop more.
You can check your Elo on FACEIT without a subscription: your current value and match history are visible to everyone. Players used to install the FACEIT Enhancer browser extension for extended stats right in the FACEIT interface; today the Repeek extension offers similar features. Before installing any extension, make sure it is still supported and comes from the official browser store.
The extension runs only in your browser and does not touch the game, so FACEIT's anti-cheat has nothing to do with it.
How to Estimate Elo and See Your Peak Elo
You cannot calculate your exact gains in advance, but you can estimate the road to the next level: against even opponents one win is worth about 25 Elo, so moving up a level usually takes a run of several wins. The level thresholds are listed on FACEIT itself and can change between seasons; see our breakdown of how the new FACEIT season works.
Your all-time peak Elo is easiest to find on the Elo graph in your profile stats or in third-party FACEIT stats services (for example, FACEIT Analyser or FACEIT Tracker), which collect your match history and show your highest rating. Their data updates shortly after each match.
Of course, progress will not be a straight line. There will be losses, bad streaks and technical issues that push your rating down. That is why steady practice matters: regular matches, training maps and warm-up modes.
Remember the key point: Elo is a personal rating, but it moves based on the team result. The more consistent your play, the more often your team wins and the faster your Elo climbs. What helps:
Shooting accuracy.
Winning your duels.
Utility usage.
Map and position knowledge.
Playing around cover and terrain.
Understanding how each weapon behaves.
At higher levels the opponents are stronger, so every win is harder to get, but the games are more interesting because they genuinely test your skills.
Free FACEIT vs Premium
FACEIT offers free access and a paid Premium subscription. After you register and link your account, you can play 5v5 matches for free, and Elo is awarded either way. To play CS2 on FACEIT you need the platform's own anti-cheat client.
The differences matter most to people who play a lot. Free access gives you:
5v5 matches with players of similar skill.
Queuing with friends as a party or a full stack.
Automatic server selection.
Premium adds extra features, such as a say in map selection (more on that in our guide to FACEIT maps in CS2). The feature set and the subscription price have changed over time, so check the current terms on the FACEIT website.
How Much Elo Do I Have
You can check this on the official FACEIT website. Log into your account: your current Elo and level are shown on your profile, and the CS2 stats section lists your recent matches along with a graph of your rating.
To check another player's Elo, type their nickname into the FACEIT search bar. The system opens their profile, where the overview shows their level, Elo and recent matches.
Rankings are kept not only by country but also by region (Europe, North America and so on), so you can compare your standing with other players.
In an update on April 2, 2021, FACEIT changed how Elo is calculated to reduce the impact of boosting: if a team mixes players of very different levels, for example a couple of level 10 players and a level 1 or 2 newcomer, the Elo change is cut significantly.
Where to Find Your AVG and Demos
Besides Elo, players often want their per-match averages: kills, deaths, damage and K/D. They live in the same CS2 stats section of your profile, and a step-by-step walkthrough is in our guide on how to check your AVG on FACEIT in CS2.
To understand why your rating goes up or down, it helps to rewatch your matches. You can download the recording of every game from the match page; how to do that and play it in CS2 is covered in how to watch FACEIT demos in CS2.
We hope this guide makes FACEIT and its Elo system easier to understand. Check out the LIS-SKINS blog for more guides for both newcomers and experienced players.
