Media: New FACEIT bug surfaces on X

Through a post on X, STYKO has shed light on an unintentional mechanic on FACEIT that revolves around predictable spawn points. After the map veto concludes on FACEIT, players are put in a knife round and the winner gets to pick the starting side.

In his post on X, STYKO points out that players are handed the same spawn points from the knife round irrespective of sides. For instance- if you play the knife round on the T-side of Dust2 with aggressive B-rush spawns, win the knife round and switch over to the CT-side, the T-side will have those exact same B-rush spawns in the pistol round.

"Hate the game, not the player", says STYKO after mentioning that this also works in certain league matches. Another user takes the nostalgic approach in the replies, pointing out how developers built games first and then the esports aspect grew around it, leaving some unfair mechanics still around.
