Firtsly dont asume because people have skins they have cash. Secondly I feel tgat FACEIT offers a lot more to their sunscribers than ESEA. For the same price I would rather support FACEIT as they cater to everyone

We already got so many people behind the whole FACEIT thing if we switch it up now its pointless. We are just throwing our chances of getting something out of this out the window. FACEIT has free/paid options ESEA only has paid. No use getting ESEA if the younger/newer teams/players aren't willing to pay the monthly fee. We need to think of growing the community and we won't achieve that by telling them to pay R75 a month (which I agree is very reasonable) but think about it, If new players start playing and just keep getting smashed they are gonna stop paying the monthly fee. At the end of the day this is just my 2 cents and i'm by no means right nor am I wrong. Happy Gaming :)

I mean we only have max 200 players on billosoft in a single day so it seems pretty pointless.
Hopefully Billosoft could maybe expand their system further.

I dont understand when people say they dont have the money for ESEA but their cs inventory is like R2000 its stupid.

Vote on this link and lets see if ESEA is viable.

Yes I agree. Firstly some people don't have the funds (I have asked a few people and some really can't pay) and there are those that are not willing to pay for premium pickups. Yes there are people who can afford but won't for whatever reason but still buy $1000 skins instead -_-

I personally would pay for ESEA but what would happen is there wont be enough people to support the system. If the players do come then pros wont play the MM on ESEA because "all the noobs" would be playing. There aren't enough committed players willing to pay for ESEA

What can be done is that we make a date or the start of a month where everyone joins ESEA premium but there needs to be consensus. I'll start a vote and see what happens.

FACEIT is free so people will play thus motivating some to pay -> thats the logic behind it. It's happened @ billosoft.

ESEA already has perfect servers here and they aren't being used. Don't know why FACEIT would expand here and expect to make money because of the "free subscription option". They need to invest in servers too. And make some sort of profit. Really would be better if this group was dedicated in reviving ESEA pickups. The premium option for FACEIT costs 5.99 Dollars (R75,90) and ESEA Subscription is R75.

"Ja, I don't want to pay for ESEA cause it's BVD's free trip overseas" - Countless knobs

Subscription doesn't ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ pay for other teams to go over seas, it pays for pickups and anti-cheat, and you will improve by constantly playing vs. better players in those pickups. Will also lead to new talent in the community to be discovered etc.

I get 60 ping to billosoft servers most of the time but when I play my ESEA league games I get less than 25 ping even.

Lets keep it growing. If you havent voted on the FACEIT post please do. Its the only way to reach out to FACEIT and show that the ZA community is interested and will support FACEIT.

7 days, and 500 people have joined

yeah thats been happening to me alot my ping to billo servers are constantly 80 or higher while mm servers are between 16 and 30

I heard recently that some CT players are having troubles playing on billo servers, getting 120 ping.

How about you dont tell us what to do befor I kill you?

Billo servers are horrendous compared to ESEA, i wouldn't even donate R2 ...

How about you support the locals and donate to Billosoft

This is why we need to gather everyone. If we make enough noise FACEIT will notice - I won't stop until they personally tell us "no".

This is like petitions, community members have reached out to FACEIT and they don't seem interested. ESEA came here and made little, then decided to close shop till the communitiy wakes up.

rip

Yeah

Is it any good?

Yes 3rd party

Does faceit have anti-cheat?

Yes pls

Please bring FaceIT to SA. It's needed!
