The Client Anti-Cheat Open Beta is still ongoing and as of today tens of thousands of players are using it everyday. In the next few weeks we are going to keep tracking the performance of the algorithm, queue times and feedback and we might give you some more stats to evaluate this change on your own! Anti-Cheat Open Beta Update The new algorithm’s impact on low liquidity queues (like TF2 or premium queues) is huge, with well balanced matches in certain queues increasing from 24% to 85% of all matches created! Not only that, the new algorithm also performs better for high liquidity queues, with an improvement of matching quality at 360 degrees.

Matching quality in TF2 - Good equals matches for which a team can win between 4 and 6 matches each 10.Īs you see the results are impressive. The new matching algorithm has been running live for the last 24 hours and you can see a comparison of the results of the new algorithm vs. With this new algorithm we looked back at all different iterations we had in the past and we combined them to find a system that maximizes team balance, no matter the liquidity of the queue. As a consequence the last algorithm we had was focused on maximizing matches during peak times and was not adequate for lower activity queues like the premium queue, nor for new games that were added to the platform. Initially it used to focus on things that were very important in low liquidity queues, while as the popularity of FACEIT grew we started focusing on things that were more relevant in order to optimize high liquidity queues. The algorithm has been changing over the last few years based on the changes in needs. Let’s start by mentioning that this is the 6th iteration of our matching algorithm, we therefore baptized it “M6”. We are very excited about this as it is probably the most requested feature after the anti-cheat. Today we have released one more of these improvements: a new matching algorithm. As part of these changes so far we implemented the FACEIT Behavioural Index (live), the Client Anti-Cheat (open beta), the new voting that automatically picks location to avoid dodging (live) and a lot of tweaks to the ranking system and the smurf detection system. At the end of October we announced that we were working on a number of changes based on your feedback with the goal to improve the competitive experience on FACEIT significantly. It’s a new week and we have a new release for you. New Matching Algorithm and a Few Updates re Anti-Cheat and “FBI”
