FACEIT has announced details for Season 9, which will begin on August 5 with a soft Elo reset that applies to all accounts and requires 10 placement matches to regain a rank.
The reset comes after a harder reset hit players at the start of Season 8 to curb top-end elo inflation and punish inactive players who stop playing and hold on to old ranks. More details regarding the new season and reset can be found here. The platform also opened voting for the return of half-time voice chat between opposing teams for the first week of the new season.
BLAST has revealed the draft order for Bounty Season 2, with 3DMAX getting the first pick of the litter in the 32-team event.
