The deal's exact information has not been released yet, but the agreement allows players to earn cryptocurrency rewards for participating in FACEIT matches. Cake DeFi will also aid FACEIT in organizing challenges and tournaments in the future.

This collaboration marks the first time a cryptocurrency company has ventured into the gaming industry, allowing the company to access the FACEIT platform and its users.
