Overwatch 2 Elo FAQ

In order to better explain how we will translate your latest Overwatch 2 rank to our ELO system at FACEIT, we need to give some information about our system itself.

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.

	Challenger Top 1,000
	Level 10 2001 +
	Level 9 1751 - 2000
	Level 8 1531 - 1750
	Level 7 1351 - 1530
	Level 6 1201 - 1350
	Level 5 1051 - 1200
	Level 4 901 - 1050
	Level 3 751 - 900
	Level 2 501 - 750
	Level 1 100 - 500

WHAT IS THE ELO WIDGET?

The Elo WIdget is a visually engaging and interactive element located on the matchmaking page or a player's profile. It displays the player’s current Elo, level and a progress bar indicating how close they are to the next rank or their status within the top 1000 players.

Skill Level 1-9

Players below level 10 will see their current level and Elo. The progress bar will indicate how close they are to the next skill level.

Skill Level 10

Players who are SL10, but below Challenger Rank will see their current Elo, and their current rankings both in their home country and in their region.

Challengers (Top 1000)

Players in the Top 1000 will see the Elo of the number one player and how far back they are in comparison.  

HOW IS ELO ADJUSTED ON FACEIT?

What are FACEIT levels and what is my level?

FACEIT levels display your skill level on our platform. Each level is a division within our elo system, the higher elo, the higher level, the closer you are to our Challenger rank!

How do I earn elo?

Just compete in any of our competitive events! Not all events affect your elo but they are clearly marked as such. In events where your Elo is affected, you will gain elo for winning matches, and lose Elo for losing matches. You do not need to win any tournaments, just do your best and watch your progression after every match!
