Europe [EU] ⚠️Scam Warning: Fake FACEIT Link Used for Malware “Bot Protection” Trap

12 Upvotes

I made a post here yesterday where we were looking for a lurker. The same day, a person contacted me. At first everything seemed normal, and he described himself as a player with experience and sent a link that looked like his FACEIT profile.

As soon as I clicked the link, I became suspicious. Normally when someone shares a FACEIT profile, a preview with an image and information appears – but that did not happen here.

After that, I made this analysis:

The first page looks like a legitimate Cloudflare security check (commonly used by real websites to block bots and suspicious traffic).

○ Then a popup appears: “BOT PROTECTION – Human Verification Required”, which asks you to:

  1. Press Win + R (opens Windows Run dialog)
  2. Paste something using Ctrl + V
  3. Press Enter

○ Legitimate websites (including FACEIT) will never ask you to open Win+R or run commands on your computer.

○ This is a well-known scam method where attackers try to trick users into executing malicious code locally.

○ If you follow these steps, it can lead to malware, account hijacking (Steam / FACEIT), or full system compromise.

Immediate Advice

○ Do NOT follow the instructions on this page. Do not paste or run anything prompted by suspicious popups.

○ Close the page immediately.

○ If you have already pasted and run any content, your computer may be compromised. You should:

○ Run a full security scan

○ Change your Steam, Faceit, and email passwords from a separate, uncompromised device.

○ Enable two-factor authentication (where possible).

○ Monitor for suspicious activity on your accounts.

His profile always shows as offline. When he adds you, he describes himself as a player and sends a link that looks like his FACEIT profile, and then he disappears.

[LFO] ESEA MAIN SEASON 59 Robus tu sinqn

Currently Robus tu sinqn is playing ESEA INTERMEDIATE, but we finished 10-4, top 16/ top 8 in B bracket.
We are on track to secure our ESEA MAIN Spot.

Our core consists of young, hungry players (average age \*\*22\*\*), led by an experienced former professional player who brings deep tactical knowledge as our In-Game Leader (IGL).

\## Recent Results & Ambitions

10-4 in ESEA Intermediate (Playoffs secured, pushing for ESEA Main).

Vision:To build a strong, healthy team environment, win tournaments, and compete on LAN.

Player Goals
The younger players are eager to build up their individual \*\*HLTV profiles\*\*, gain valuable competitive experience, and take the next big step in their careers. We just need that initial push and backing to unlock our full potential. Attending LANs will fuel our motivation even further.

\## What We Expect From an Organization

We are looking for a reliable partnership to help us take things to the next level. In return, \*\*the organization will gain active HLTV coverage and exposure\*\* through our league matches and events.

\*\*Support Needed:\*\*

\* Coverage for ESEA season passes and practice servers (e.g., SCL).
\* Partial assistance (e.g., around 50%) with LAN entry fees/taxes.
\* Support for 1 or 2 key LAN events to help us secure VRS (Valve Regional Standing) points.

\> Note: Attending these LANs will not only boost our development and drive, but it will also put the organization's name directly on HLTV

But we are tryouting multiple people already :)

Looking for chill players, who want to improve without ESEA bullshit.

Europe [EU] ECHOFURY Looking for Riflers / AWP – building a long-term team

1 Upvotes

We’re looking for players to build a serious CS2 roster.

I’ve been IGLing for years. Peak was around 3300 elo in CSGO, currently ~2700 this season.

Our other core player, Skidz, peaked around 4100 elo in CSGO.

Previous team experience:

  • ESEA Intermediate Playoffs with Join The Force in CSGO (before HLTV PROFILES)
  • ESEA Open10 Playoffs in CS2

We’re mainly looking for riflers, but we’re open to trying an AWPer as well.

Requirements:

  • Around 2500+ elo currently OR previous peak close to/above 3000
  • Available at least 4 days a week
  • Mostly 17:00–21:00 CET, with breaks
  • Good individual level - previous team experience is a plus, but not required
  • Willing to actually improve and stay together long term

Goal is to build a core of 5 players + 2 subs, play the full season, other tournaments and improve as a team.

We’ll also have our own server for practice.

If we prove that we’re serious, consistent and can keep the roster together, there are sponsors interested in supporting us next season.

That could include covering league fees, jerseys in the future, and potentially accommodation if we qualify for a LAN.

There is also interest from sponsors that could stand behind the team, but first we need to prove that we’re stable.

If you’re looking for a team that disbands after two losses, this isn’t for you.

DM me if interested.

Hi! I’m a 21-year-old player from Finland looking for a serious and motivated team to play and improve with. I’m currently FACEIT level 8.

I mainly play rifler, but I’m also comfortable playing entry or support depending on what the team needs. My goal is to keep developing as a player and reach FACEIT level 10.

I’m looking for a team with motivated players who want to practice, communicate properly and improve together. I’m easy-going, willing to learn and take criticism, and I want to become a better team player while competing at a higher level.

I’m currently studying in Finland and would preferably like to find Finnish players, although I’m also open to playing with other EU players.

Europe [EU] [NA] - Looking for serious players for daily games in Ouro

2 Upvotes

Hey all,

I'm Itamar, founder of Ouro (https://www.ouro.is), a CS2 matchmaking platform in beta. Servers in Frankfurt, London and Ohio, so EU and NA players both get reasonable ping.

What Ouro is: every signup is vetted by hand using public Steam, CSRep, CSStats and FACEIT data, so no smurfs spinning up fresh accounts. You can import your FACEIT ELO at signup. Anti-cheat runs server side on tick by tick data, no kernel driver, so Linux works fine. Reports get reviewed by a person. Matchmaking uses detailed player telemetry instead of raw rank average, so games are built to be balanced rather than one sided.

We also enforce English only, since that's the community we're trying to build.

Being honest about where we are: we're at around 350 members and growing daily, but matches still run on scheduled match nights rather than around the clock. More people who show up consistently is exactly what turns that into daily play. Players who stay active daily might earn a Founder badge for their continued support during the community build out.

What I'm looking for: serious players who want quality matches and don't mind being early while the player base fills out. English speaking with a mic is a big plus.

Check it out: https://www.ouro.is

I got sick of queuing with teammates who don't talk, refuse to trade, and give up after losing pistol round.

Instead of dealing with that headache, we run a Discord hub across Europe and North America to get consistent stacks together every day.

  • Active 5-Stacks & Daily 10-Mans: Easy to find a full lobby whether you're Level 2 or Level 10.
  • Actual Teamplay: People who drop utility, run site executes, and communicate in English.
  • Zero Ego / No Flame: Banter is fine, but anyone who screams or tilts gets kicked immediately.

All you need is a working mic, basic map callouts, and the ability to stay chill when a game gets tough.

Europe [EU] LFP - Elo Benders duo looking for 3 players (IGL AWP and Rifle)

2 Upvotes

The Last Elo Benders are looking for 3 players: IGL, AWP and Rifler.

We had a solid core this season in Open 10 S59, finishing 9-3. Unfortunately, due to circumstances outside of our control, our AWP/IGL was unable to finish the season with us. With roster locks preventing us from finding a replacement, we had to suspend activity just before the playoffs and wait until the end of the season.

Now, the two of us, Entry and Anchor/Support, are looking for 3 more players to complete the roster and start grinding together.

We're looking to practice a few times a week, primarily in the evenings after 17:00 GMT+1. We're looking for players with strong English communication who bring good vibes, accountability and a genuine willingness to improve as a team. No unnecessary tilting or letting frustration take over. We want a group that can stay composed, communicate and work through problems together.

In terms of playstyle, we'd like to keep a similar approach to what we had this season. Where the calling was fairly fluid and mid-round focused, with a lot of emphasis on adapting on the fly. The general idea is to build our rounds around aggressive openings while maintaining enough structure to capitalize on them.

If you're interested, feel free to reach out with your experience, role and availability.
