The Faceit Pro League is a platform for the semi-pros who fight it out to make a name for themselves. A lot of professional players also play on Faceit in their free time.
FPL is a very useful place for aspiring gamers to equate their skillset to the expert. One of the most popular CS Go players, Oleksandr “s1mple” Kostyliev, who has been plying his trade since turning pro in 2014, has proclaimed that he and a few other CS Go Players are working on making an alternative center on Faceit.
A lot of Counter pros want to relax and enjoy after days. Professional eSports players put in a lot of time practicing and perfecting their respective games daily. Finally, when their day comes to an end, they try to have some fun while playing the game.
Faceit provides this platform to have light-hearted gameplay. But it can be the exact opposite of fun and there is a good reason behind this too.
Some of the semi-pros on Faceit are very serious about perfecting the game and take their games quite seriously. They play to get noticed by a pro squad or get invited for an upcoming tournament, and things can get pretty serious when these things are concerned.
And it’s tough to blame them since they are so sincerely devoted to showing their skills while the pros take up Faceit to have fun. Have a look at Nathan Schmitt’s a.k.a. “NBK” letter summarizing precisely why it can cause trouble to the pros, and pro player dev1ce had a say on it as well.
Hence, pro players like s1mple and Nikola “NiKo” Kovač and a few other players are up for creating an alternative platform on Faceit, where they can simply have some fun along with other pros.
As you can already see from Sasha’s reply, a board of 5 players made has made the decisions already. S1mple has already assured everyone that all the pros in the new hub will vote on adding or removing of a particular player. NaVi, s1mple’s Cs: GO team, lost to Fnatic in the ESL Pro League a few weeks back. And since they are no upcoming LAN tournaments to look forward right now, it looks like s1mple will have plenty of time now to play on the Faceit hub.
