OW2 FACEIT League FAQ

What is the FACEIT League?

The FACEIT League is a circuit that anyone can compete in! It consists of multiple Divisions, Open being the lowest Division and Masters the highest.

What do I need to compete?

There are no FACEIT Skill requirements to compete, all players competing in the Lower Divisions are required to purchase a League Pass. You are able to purchase one from the League Registration page. For more info on registration, please check out this article. FACEIT Elo may be taken into account when placing teams into individual Divisions.

How can I reach the Master Division?

Based on teams results during the previous season, there will be promotions and demotions between the Divisions. Top teams from the Expert Division are able to be promoted into the Master Division directly. Some teams that don’t quite reach direct qualification are able to battle for a spot in Master Division in relegation matches against previous Master Division teams. For more information on the promotions and demotions please check out this article.

How will placements be done in the Lower Divisions?

New teams signing up for the league will be placed in Open Division, teams that have not been promoted or demoted in the previous season will remain in the same division. There is an additional chance for new teams to participate in a higher division for EMEA and NA via the Fast Track Qualifiers. Additionally, teams with 5 players over 1500 elo will be promoted to Advanced division at the start of the season. Teams with 5 players over 1650 FACEIT Elo will be promoted to Expert division at the start of the season.

Am I able to add new players to my team?

Yes, for all divisions you are able to add and remove players from your League Team. However, there are restrictions to how often you can add players or join new teams. Additionally, there is a “Roster Lock” that occurs towards the end of the Regular Season. More information regarding the team and roster requirements can be found in the League Rulebook on the FACEIT League page.
