FACEIT to Add Cache in Season 8
Cache is one of those maps that have always been a fan favorite, and we saw that again. FACEIT recently held a vote regarding which new map to include in Season 8, which will start on April 22. The vote was close, but in the end, Cache won with a total of 148,840 votes.
People who play matches on the map will be counted towards the Elo. What’s interesting is that users who don’t want to play on Cache can deselect the map. The best part is that you can actually do that without the need to subscribe or change your other map bans.
Other FACEIT Apps
Outside of Cache, FACEIT provides a lot of other competitive maps. Currently, players can use the following:
- Dust 2
- Nuke
- Mirage
- Inferno
- Ancient
- Anubis
- Vertigo
Each of the maps offers unique play styles, and people have the chance to choose the ones they are most comfortable with. The fact that players can customize their matchmaking gives them more flexibility.
What’s New in FACEIT Season 8?
Aside from the fact that players will have access to Cache, FACEIT’s Season 8 will come with a lot of new things. For starters, there will be a completely new stat called FACEIT Rating and it will be added to every match. Aside from just counting kills, the stat will show you how much your actions impacted winning rounds. The idea is to have a deeper insight into performance.
In addition, there will be a soft elo reset, meaning users must play 10 placement matches to determine their starting elo. Premium users will also have access to a new analysis tool showing round-by-round breakdowns. It will include things like utility usage, kill locations and different performance graphs.
Season 8 of FACEIT will also formalize a more structured season system. Players can also expect the FACEIT League to continue with regional divisions, playoffs and prize pools. All in all, it is definitely one of the more interesting updates and at Blix.gg can’t wait to see everything new
