HLTV is partnering with ESL FACEIT Group to integrate FACEIT onto the brand's Counter-Strike news platform. As a result of the partnership, HLTV users will now be able to showcase their Counter-Strike rank next to their username when interacting with others on the site. Additionally, users are now able to add links to their FACEIT profile, and the FACEIT tab deep dives into the player's stats across different periods.
Further enriching user engagement, the FACEIT Pro League player rankings are seamlessly integrated into HLTV, featuring the top five players in a convenient widget. Notably, users are able to display a personal trophy cabinet on the HLTV website to demonstrate that they have won a FACEIT Pro League event.
