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

13 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.

Europe [EU] [Sweden] Sista riflern sökes till stabilt och ambitiöst gäng (Faceit/Premier)

3 Upvotes

Vi söker sista spelaren till vårt lag! Vi har en IGL och en AWP på plats. Rollerna är ganska flexibla, men i grunden söker vi en rifler som vill spela med laget och utvecklas tillsammans med oss.

Om oss

  • Ålder: Vi är ett gäng på 4 personer mellan 26 och 35 år (ålder spelar ingen roll för dig, så länge du är mogen).
  • Nivå: Blandad erfarenhet från Faceit level 7 till 10. Endast jag (IGL) har tidigare lagerfarenhet men har inget krav på att du skall ha sen innan.
  • Ambition: Vi har väldigt roligt ihop, men tar spelet på allvar. Vi kollar demos, går igenom setups och strats tillsammans och spelar koordinerat.
  • Speltider: vi är oftast tillgängliga Måndag-fredag ca 17:00 - 23:00 (efter jobb/plugg) men är flexibla med tiden. Vi siktar på 3-4 dagar i veckan. Helger kör vi spontant om alla kan och vill.
  • Mål: Både Faceit och Premier just nu - och eventuellt ESEA till nästa säsong om vi känner oss redo. möjligtvis Esplay cuper.

Vem söker vi?

  • Ingen ego-spelare: Vi söker ingen vild "SoloQ-hjälte" som springer runt och kör eget race. Du måste vilja spela med laget och lita på din IGL.
  • Inställning: Du är positiv, tålmodig, fri från gnäll och har viljan att bli bättre och lämna SoloQ-mentaliteten bakom dig.
  • Öppen för att lära: Eftersom vi hjälps åt att utvecklas är detta ett perfekt tillfälle för dig som vill ta ett kliv framåt i din CS-resa.

Låter detta intressant?

Lägg till mig på Discord, skicka ett meddelande med länk till din Steam/Faceit, berätta lite kort om dig själv, eller ställ frågor om du funderar på något!

North America [NA] Looking for 1-4 like-minded players to play with on faceit or premier

Upvotes

I have been finding solo queue extremely boring and I just can’t anymore.

What im looking for

-teammates around the same skill. Premier 17k-20k, Faceit Lvl 5-7

-Players that want to have fun, but also play competitively, trying to improve, open to practicing/discussing strategies, while also not being weird or overly emotional (rage, immature etc)

-Someone who is down to play often and rank up with

I know I'm asking for “competitive/serious” teammates but when i say that i just mean someone who genuinely wants to improve at the game, because for me the games are fun when there's structured, skillful gameplay with your team. Rather than the usual flip a coin 50-50 playstyle where there's no teamplay at all. Its just kind of boring to me

I'm currently faceit lvl 6 and premier 18k. My goal is to be lvl 10 or 25k one day. Currently playing in Hawaii, So on faceit i average around 85 ping, unless im lucky to get san jose servers which gives me 49 ping. Or on premier I usually get around 50-60 ping. So anyone on the west coast would be more ideal.

DM me for more details, I can explain more of what im down for

Europe [EU] LFT | 2.9K peak Polish AWPer, last season 2.8K

1 Upvotes

Hey everyone,

I am currently looking for a team (LFT) that strikes the perfect balance between grinding to improve and actually having fun playing the game together. I want to find a group of players who are willing to put in the work, review demos, and practice strategies, but without the toxic environment.

Current Situation:

I have been working for the past 2 months, followed by a vacation, so Ihaven't pugged and I've only been playin comp/prem and havin fun. I am returning from holidays this upcoming Monday, at which point I will be fully back on the grind and ready to start trials, practice, and official matches.

About Me & My Playstyle:

Primary Role: Main AWPer / Secondary AWPer or Rifler.

AWP Style: Heavily inspired by device. I play a highly disciplined, position-based, and impactful style. I focus on consistency, holding angles, and making the smart play rather than chasing risky, flashy clips.

Rifle Style: Heavily inspired by Twistzz during his prime star-rifling days. I rely on crisp mechanics, immaculate crosshair placement, and high headshot precision. I play a calm, low-risk, and calculated game with great clutch composure and strong site anchoring.

What I'm Looking For:

A structured team or core looking to compete in leagues (ESEA/FACEIT).

Teammates who take practice seriously but maintain a positive, constructive attitude.

Clear communication and a schedule we can stick to.

If you think I’d be a good fit for your project or team, drop a comment below or add me on Discord: jcob_cs2

Europe [EU][NOR] LFT | 2550 peak | 10 years team CS | Lurk/Anchor | Former IGL | High ambitions

1 Upvotes

26 y/o from Norway looking for a serious, established team with high ambitions and players who are already comfortable with each other.

  • FACEIT: 2200 current / 2550 peak CS2
  • 3000+ FACEIT peak in CS around the transition to CS2
  • 12 years of team CS experience
  • Telialigaen Division 2 experience
  • ESEA Open experience
  • Experience from multiple semi-professional projects
  • Have played with teams that later went on to reach ESEA Main
  • Really Comfortable playing international

Roles

T: Lurk (preferred)
CT: Big Site Anchor (preferred)

I can play pretty much any role if needed. I have experience with entrying and I'm comfortable adapting to what the team needs, but my strongest and preferred roles are definitely Lurk/Anchor.

I've also been an IGL for many years, so even though I'm not looking to IGL anymore, I bring a strong understanding of calling, protocols, mid-round decision making and the overall structure of a team. I'm happy to contribute with this knowledge behind the scenes and help the IGL whenever needed.

What I bring

I'm a very team-oriented player with a lot of experience playing structured CS.

As a lurker, I enjoy creating pressure across the map, understanding timings, taking space independently and making plays that give the rest of the team opportunities. I'm also comfortable being patient and playing for information rather than constantly forcing action.

As an anchor, I'm comfortable being left alone, playing disadvantageous situations and making the most out of difficult rounds. I'm confident in late-round situations, clutches and adapting when the round doesn't go according to plan.

I'm also someone who enjoys the details of team CS — demos, utility, protocols, role preparation, understanding opponents and figuring out how to improve the team rather than just focusing on individual stats.

What I'm looking for

I'm looking for an established and serious team, not a completely new roster that is still trying to figure out roles, players and whether everyone is actually committed.

I've been through enough projects where the team spends months trying to "find their identity", and that's something I'd like to avoid at this point.

I want to join players who already know they want to compete, have the motivation to grind and are ready to build something long-term.

My ambitions are high. The goal is to reach Main/Advanced and continue pushing from there, not just play officials for the sake of it.

I'm available 4–5+ days per week and willing to put in work outside of scheduled practice through demo reviews, utility work, individual preparation and studying my role.

If you're an established roster looking for an experienced Lurk/Anchor who can bring both individual ability and a lot of team knowledge, feel free to DM me.

Europe [EU] The Last Elo Benders looking for 2 Players (Rifle Spacetaker second entry & Anchor support) 2k elo minimum

1 Upvotes

The Last Elo Benders are looking for 2 players: Rifle Space-Taker/2nd Entry and Anchor/Support/Lurk.

We had a solid core this season in Open 10 S59, finishing 9-3. Unfortunately, due to circumstances outside of our control, our AWP/IGL was unable to finish the season with us. With roster locks preventing us from finding a replacement, we had to suspend activity just before the playoffs and wait until the end of the season.

Now, we're looking to complete the roster and start grinding together.

We're currently looking for:

  • Rifle — Space-Taker / 2nd Entry
  • Anchor / Support / Lurk

We're looking to practice a few times a week, primarily in the evenings after 17:00 GMT+1. We're looking for players with strong English communication who bring good vibes, accountability and a genuine willingness to improve as a team.

No unnecessary tilting or letting frustration take over. We want a group that can stay composed, communicate and work through problems together.

In terms of playstyle, we'd like to keep a similar approach to what we had this season, where the calling was fairly fluid and mid-round focused, with a lot of emphasis on adapting on the fly. The general idea is to build our rounds around aggressive openings while maintaining enough structure to capitalize on them.

2k Elo minimum.

Europe [EU] CS2: Coach offering services.

1 Upvotes

Hey everyone,

My name is Yentl, I’m 30 years old, and I’ve been active in the Counter-Strike community since 2014–2015.

After years of playing competitively, I’m now looking to take the next step in my CS career and offer myself as a coach to a motivated and ambitious CS2 team.

🧠 My CS background

  • 2014–2015: Started playing Counter-Strike competitively and became active within the community.
  • 2018: Started playing in the ESEA ladder, reaching A+ before taking a break from competitive CS due to personal circumstances.
  • 2020: Returned to competitive CS, primarily playing in team environments. During this period, I won several FACEIT tournaments. During this time we had a very solid core and coach, few of them are semi-pro now, unfortunatly the organisation was poor and we didn't feel like achieving things outside face-it tournaments, wich led to players leaving and at last the full core falling apart.
  • 2022: Took another break from competitive CS due to personal circumstances.
  • 2024–2025: Returned to competitive team play for two seasons of Open 10.
    • First season: Played as Entry Fragger, reaching the playoffs.
    • Second season: Joined another team as IGL and successfully achieved promotion to Entry Group.
    • Unfortunately, the team disbanded shortly afterwards due to internal disagreements.

🎮 Why coaching?

Throughout my time as a player, I’ve developed a strong interest in the strategic and tactical side of CS. Playing as an IGL especially gave me experience with team structure, communication, preparation, adapting during matches, and working with different types of players.

At this point, I want to put that experience into a coaching role and help a team develop, improve and compete at a higher level.

I’m looking for a team that is:

  • Motivated and committed
  • Willing to put in the work outside of officials
  • Open to constructive criticism and improvement
  • Looking to compete seriously in leagues and tournaments
  • Interested in developing both individually and as a team

I’m not looking for a team where I simply sit behind the players and call a few things during matches. I want to be involved in preparation, demos, tactics, anti-stratting, team structure, communication, mentality and overall development.

I’m open to working with teams at different levels, as long as there is ambition, commitment and a willingness to improve.

If your team is looking for a dedicated coach, or if you simply want to have a conversation and see whether we could be a good fit, feel free to DM me.

Europe [EU] Small & Cozy Casual Team, ~14k Premiere, aged 30+, LF +1!

1 Upvotes

Hey all! I'm here with the great ketchupy hopes to recruit one more player to our CS2 group, called Team Meatball - a mixed gender, average-skilled CS2 team (or, indeed, a friend-group).

Most of us are around ~14k Premiere rank, so I would be happiest with a player from anywhere from 12-17k. Also, most of us are near or over 30 years of age!

Currently we're in a situation where one of our 'main' players can permanently no longer attend most game days (due to schedule), so that is what we are seeking to create another Meatball. Our main days, on which we always want to play, are Monday and Tuesday. Sometimes Thursday. The games always start at 19:00 UK time, and we most commonly play 3 premiere matches per game night.

We discuss CS theory and the pro scene together and put a bit of thought into improvement, but mostly still stay casual as there is no 'homework' or 'practice regime'. We all get along with each other, have a variety of wholesome habits and inside jokes that have grown through time, and the vibe is always chummy and supportive.

Since our friendships have grown tighter over time, we've also floated the ideas to try some other games out together, plus some real-life meet-ups (in Central/Nordic EU). We'll see as we go along!

There is no great application process. If this sounds good to you, please write to me in free-form. :)
