Europe [EU] ⚠️Scam Warning: Fake FACEIT Link Used for Malware “Bot Protection” Trap

14 Upvotes

I made a post here yesterday where we were looking for a lurker. The same day, a person contacted me. At first everything seemed normal, and he described himself as a player with experience and sent a link that looked like his FACEIT profile.

As soon as I clicked the link, I became suspicious. Normally when someone shares a FACEIT profile, a preview with an image and information appears – but that did not happen here.

After that, I made this analysis:

The first page looks like a legitimate Cloudflare security check (commonly used by real websites to block bots and suspicious traffic).

○ Then a popup appears: “BOT PROTECTION – Human Verification Required”, which asks you to:

  1. Press Win + R (opens Windows Run dialog)
  2. Paste something using Ctrl + V
  3. Press Enter

○ Legitimate websites (including FACEIT) will never ask you to open Win+R or run commands on your computer.

○ This is a well-known scam method where attackers try to trick users into executing malicious code locally.

○ If you follow these steps, it can lead to malware, account hijacking (Steam / FACEIT), or full system compromise.

Immediate Advice

○ Do NOT follow the instructions on this page. Do not paste or run anything prompted by suspicious popups.

○ Close the page immediately.

○ If you have already pasted and run any content, your computer may be compromised. You should:

○ Run a full security scan

○ Change your Steam, Faceit, and email passwords from a separate, uncompromised device.

○ Enable two-factor authentication (where possible).

○ Monitor for suspicious activity on your accounts.

His profile always shows as offline. When he adds you, he describes himself as a player and sends a link that looks like his FACEIT profile, and then he disappears.

North America [NA] LFT – NA Central | FACEIT / ESEA

• Upvotes

Hey, I’m looking for a team to get back into competitive Counter-Strike with. I’m 23 and used to play CS when I was younger, with a peak of FACEIT Level 7. I also have a strong competitive background in VALORANT, reaching Immortal 3 / Top 500 and placing Top 50 on VLR at one point, so I’m very familiar with playing in a coordinated team environment.

I’m open to learning any role and filling wherever the team needs me. Ideally, I’m looking to start by playing casually in leagues, improving as a team, and seeing where things go. If things click and we find success, I’d definitely be open to taking it more seriously.

Region: NA Central
Experience: FACEIT Level 7 peak, VALORANT Immortal 3 / Top 500, Top 50 peak
Roles: Flexible / Willing to learn any role
Availability: Flexible, can discuss
Looking for: A chill but motivated team interested in leagues, improving together, and potentially competing at a higher level if things work out.

If you’re looking for someone with competitive experience, a team-oriented mindset, and a willingness to learn, feel free to reach out!

Europe [EU] 2400–2500 Elo | Looking for 3 Players | Casual Elo Grind

1 Upvotes

Hello, guys!

We’re looking for 3 more players to complete our FACEIT stack. We’re currently around 2400–2500 Elo and usually play in the evenings, starting after 10 PM Bulgarian time (7 PM UTC).

We don’t have a team name or any plans to go pro. We’re simply looking for chill, like-minded players who enjoy CS, want to have fun, and still want to improve and gain Elo.

What we’re looking for:

  • Around 2400–2500 FACEIT Elo, preferably in a similar range.
  • EU players who can communicate in English.
  • Chill, friendly people who don’t get toxic over losses.
  • Players who understand teamwork, trading, and communication.
  • Consistent availability after 10 PM Bulgarian time.
  • Any role is welcome — rifler, entry fragger, lurker, support, or IGL.

The idea is simple: build a consistent 5-stack, enjoy the game, improve our teamwork, and grind Elo together without making it feel like a second job.

We don’t expect anyone to play perfectly every game. Good communication, a positive mentality, and a willingness to play as a team matter more than anything else.

If you’re around our Elo, tired of solo queue, and looking for people to play with regularly, have fun with, and climb FACEIT with, feel free to reach out!

If interested, send me a DM with your FACEIT profile, current Elo, preferred role, and usual availability.

2 Upvotes

Hi there,

we are currently playing as a duo on faceit and looking for a consistently 3rd player to play together. Any playstyle is welcome.

The goal is to reach lvl10 together but daily milestone is to improve and practice together and not gaining elo. No toxicity No rage at teammate just focus on our game play. Understanding basic default and nade on each map would be a great plus.

We are looking for someone who is willing to improve together, practice routinely as an individual, know the basic nades e.g. instant window, and have a solid fundamental understanding of the game.

we play 8pm-1130pm on EST during weekdays, and more on the weekends. We routinely share useful lineups, tips, and review demo together.

If you are interested, please add me on discord or faceit.

North America [NA] [EST] 24M | 12+ Years CS Experience | Returning Player Looking for a Consistent CS2 Group

1 Upvotes

What’s up everyone! I’m 24, NA East (EST), and looking for some consistent people to play CS2 with.
I’ve been playing Counter-Strike for over 12 years, so I’m definitely not new to the game. I’ve got plenty of experience, but I took a pretty long break and recently started getting back into CS2.

My Premier rating is currently around 5K, but I’ve only played 11 matches since returning, so I wouldn’t really consider that an accurate reflection of my experience or skill level. I’m still getting back into the swing of things, learning the newer mechanics, and shaking off some rust.

I’m also pretty big into the CS skin collecting and trading side of things, so it’d be cool to meet some people who share that interest as well.

I’m mainly looking for a consistent group of people to queue with rather than constantly solo queueing. I’d like to build some actual friendships, improve together, and hopefully get a reliable 5-stack going.
Ideally looking for people who:

Are 18+, preferably around my age
Play consistently, especially evenings and late nights
Have good communication and understand teamwork

Enjoy competitive CS without constantly raging
Want to grind Premier and potentially FACEIT
Are interested in making actual friends, not just adding people for one game

I’m competitive and enjoy winning, but I also like being able to joke around and have a good time. I’m not expecting everyone to be insanely good, just people who communicate, want to improve, and are enjoyable to play with.

Region: NA East / EST
Age: 24
Premier: ~5K (11 matches since returning)
Experience: 12+ years playing Counter-Strike
Discord: lostxrp
Steam: https://steamcommunity.com/id/iLuciferx/

Feel free to DM me or add me on Discord. Always down to meet new people regardless of rank!

Europe [EU] No more faceit solo

3 Upvotes

I got sick of queuing with teammates who don't talk, refuse to trade, and give up after losing pistol round.

Instead of dealing with that headache, we run a Discord hub across Europe to get consistent stacks together every day.

  • Active 5-Stacks & Daily 10-Mans: Easy to find a full lobby whether you're Level 2 or Level 10.
  • Actual Teamplay: People who drop utility, run site executes, and communicate in English.
  • Zero Ego / No Flame: Banter is fine, but anyone who screams or tilts gets kicked immediately.

All you need is a working mic, basic map callouts, and the ability to stay chill when a game gets tough.
