From ranked to the FACEIT circuit

5 steps · Official competitive pathway

Official Warzone competition (FACEIT)

If you're already strong at Warzone, the official organised circuit is publisher competition on FACEIT. Lock the roster the live event requires, then register when a window is open. Ranked is preparation. CMG cash cups are not that ladder.
