Launch is today! At 6pm EST I will be turning on the queues for all divisions. To make sure you're all setup to play, follow the simple user guide outlined at http://tf2pl.com

Seeing as this is an Elo based ranking system, if you have never played on FACEIT before you will be starting at the base rank of 3 and only have access to the Beginner division at first. Hopefully only a few games will be necessary for you to rank up quickly. To accelerate the proper distribution of levels, we have: moved all of the invite players we could up to the Invite division and given them level 10 so they will only be able to play in the Invite division or the Advanced division. We also have moved up as many of the players from the top 10 IM teams to the Advanced division as possible and they will be given 8+ levels so they can only play in the Advanced division as well. If you feel like you belong in either group but haven't yet joined the divisions, we may still be able to arrange it so please PM me from the TF2PL discord.

time to make smurf accounts

You need a minimum of 200 hours to connect your FACEIT and TF2/steam accounts. If you are found using a smurf you will be banned.

get me in

pro tip: wear black instead of white

It has come to our attention that there are not enough players queueing into the Advanced Division. In order to accelerate the expansion of the Advanced Division, we are going to be extending invites beyond just ESEA-I players and the top 10 ESEA-IM teams, and are now looking to add all players from current mid+ ESEA-IM teams and any players that have previous mid+ ESEA-IM experience. To get an invite link to the Advanced Division, please get in touch with Phantom on the TF2PL Discord (Phantom#8853). Once you've used the invite link provided by Phantom and joined the Advanced Division, your level will be bumped up to 8+ within 24 hours and you will gain the ability to queue up.

Similar to the situation in my last post above, we are now taking actions to expand the population of the Amateur division. We are happy to invite any players with mid+ ESEA-O experience or low ESEA-IM experience. To get an invite link to the Amateur Division, please get in touch with Prograde on the TF2PL Discord (prograde#1861). Once you've used the invite link provided by Prograde and joined the Amateur Division, your account will be flagged to be leveled up to 6, which should take no more than 24 hours to complete, after which you will gain the ability to queue up.

Interesting bug; I lost a match on sunshine and it was recorded twice, giving me double the losses and lost elo.

You can see in the picture that both ended at exactly the same time.

please remove the kicking for inactivity, theres no point since there isnt a sub system, and it kicks people during pauses

that's a bug we've reported to faceit staff

it should now be fixed

Hello, seeing how important rank partitioning ended being for NA, we're gonna make sure to have that prepared a few days before launch (hopefully more than a week). I think that using ETF2L 6s league history, we'll have a fairly approximate system going, which then will be reviewed by our EU admins. To avoid wasting FACEIT's time however, we will require your cooperation, you will need to have your TF2 linked on FACEIT at least 7 days before the release (March 25th is 7 days before April 1st) to secure a spot in your division on release day. Otherwise, you may end up level 3 for a day or two, having to play with freshly new players.
This will be announced officially.
EDIT: EU residents (or any non-NA residents for that matter) are *not* to queue on the current hubs without direct admin permission. You may request a region bypass in #appeals-and-requests on our Discord. Thanks for understanding.

please go offline when you're playing in pugs on the off chance that someone is streaming please thank you

mathemaphysicist can u start speaking PLEAse

report him please, I have already reported him and he's on his way to getting banned
Edit: check your pms

poor mathemaphysicist :( I remember playing many matches with him on the original version of tf2 faceit, he was toxic then also :(

.

I got banned on tf2center for 10 months for saying "looks like tf2 has a new STADIUM, they'll just have to FACE IT that they have competition"

I'm level 4 on faceit from a while ago, why can't I join the amateur hub after logging in?

I click on Recommended Hubs and in the middle of the screen is a solid Orange Bar that I can't click.

Come ask help on Discord please

good riddance, i don't feel bad for him, couple of days ago he captained a pug and wasn't active when the player pciking happened and we had a team that got rolled in like 7 minutes, next game he goes on to pick basically the same roster that lost so quickly. I actually didn't show up for once just cause of how awful the game would have been. also personal opinion players shouldn't just be able to rank up over time, math was not a rank 7 player by far. Only got to his position by playing 2000+ matches on faceit.
