FACEIT DOTA 2 Elo and skill levels

What is a Skill Level?

Skill levels are directly linked to Elo ratings, which span from 100 to infinity and serve as a reflection of a player's perceived skill and game knowledge. The idea behind pairing players with similar Elo ratings is to create evenly matched-games.

The brackets of Elo differ depending on the game but skill levels range from  to  . The Challenger rank is achieved by the top 1000 players at level 10.

Seasonal Rank to Elo sync

Users may sync their Seasonal Rank from OpenDota up to their FACEIT elo via the Game Settings page every 60 days.

This system cannot be reverted so it’s important to note the corresponding elo (see the bottom of the page) to your Seasonal Rank before doing so. 

Users may also not use this feature as a way of lowering their elo on purpose and anyone found to be doing so shall receive a lengthy ban. 

Simply press the ‘Update Ranking’ button to begin the process.

Press ‘Yes’ when you’re sure. If you’re met with an error then you either do not have a Seasonal Rank active or you’re on the incorrect steam account.
