Ratings are adjusted based on wins and losses, with visual &#8220;color tiers&#8221; representing different skill brackets.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>FACEIT Elo:<\/strong> Uses a &#8220;Level 1 to Level 10&#8221; system based on Elo points. Level 1 is the entry-point, while Level 10 represents elite play.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Skill Ceiling:<\/strong> Due to the higher barrier to entry (downloading a client, setting up an account), FACEIT generally attracts a more competitive player base. Consequently, a high rank on FACEIT (Level 10) is typically viewed by the community as a higher skill benchmark than a high Premier Rating.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Match_Quality_and_Player_Experience\"><\/span>Match Quality and Player Experience<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The environments differ based on the intent of the participants:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Official Matchmaking:<\/strong> Optimized for accessibility and low friction.
