Faceit Platform

Faceit hosts tournaments, matchmaking, free ladders and the Faceit Pro Leagues. The platform has already hosted the qualifiers and league play for DreamLeague Season 3, in the EU region.

Now, Faceit has gone live in the NA region, giving players access to the same features and opportunities that have been enjoyed by their EU counterparts. SEA region will go live after the conclusion of the MPGL season 7 finals this weekend.

Faceit Pro League

Last month, Jonathan “Loda” Berg – in collaboration with Gleb “Funn1k” Lipatnikov, GD studios and Faceit, announced a new in-house league for the EU/CIS region. The FPL has been hosted through the new Faceit platform, and during the first month has proven to be successful and received positive feedback from pro players and viewers alike.

Daily coverage of FPL matches has been provided by ODPixel. Subsequently, the Faceit Pro League games have been broadcast by the GD Studios, which have returned to business two weeks ago.

North America will get their own Faceit Pro League in June. Further details on the NA Faceit Pro League Season 1 and prizepool will be announced next month.

Top 10 Master League and top 3 Diamond League players will get directly vouched in the league, together with invited players that are yet to be announced.

There has been no additional information on regular or featured coverage schedule for the newly added regions.
