By doing that, they have the ability to see through walls, which essentially means they are wall-hacking.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It seems like the company\u2019s Anti-Cheat system is <strong>doing a good job<\/strong> at it because it has alread<strong>y banned more than 125 accounts<\/strong>. By the looks of it, the numbers will keep increasing, so we wouldn\u2019t be surprised if it reaches a much higher number in the next couple of days.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This is not the first <a href=\"https:\/\/blix.gg\/blog\/news\/cs-2\/cs2-cheating-problem-an-in-depth-look\/\">CS2 cheating<\/a> scandal and it<strong> definitely won\u2019t be the last<\/strong>. It seems like people are becoming more innovative over time and finding new ways to exploit the game. The bad news for them is that <strong>all anti-cheats are becoming better<\/strong>, and the growing influence of AI will make them even better.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s worth noting that this is not the only news from Faceit. There was <strong>an ongoing controversy about the client\u2019s matchmaking<\/strong> and how it worked, but the manager finally addressed it. According to him, <strong>the system does not take the total number of wins into account<\/strong> when searching for opponents.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Also, Faceit will<strong> change the schedule for its current CS2 competitive season<\/strong>. The 7th edition should conclude on April 21, which means players will have some extra time to reach their desired rank. As of now, users can still earn<strong> ELO points and compete for slots<\/strong> in the FPL Challenger and Master Divisions.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Don\u2019t forget to follow us for more CS2 news.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Faceit has tweeted that it has finally taken action against players who were cheating.
