[Answered] SG FACEIT Hub

[Joolis]

Here is a short page on what a FACEIT Hub is: https://support.faceit.com/hc/en-us/articles/115001899624-What-is-a-Hub-

I'm suggesting this as it is a very good way for us to play competitive 10-mans.

 

"How is this different from the scrim server?

1. Hubs have leaderboards, statistics tracking, seasons of variable duration.

2. Starting a game just requires you to queue up, once 10 people are in queue, map and player picking will begin.

3. Very easy to manage game and hub settings such as player pick order, map ban order, penalties, captains, leaderboards/seasons, etc through FACEIT website/client.

4. Players cannot change names and skill is visible to everyone https://i.gyazo.com/22f3e1934ff3282ff8711d5c0161a291.png, very useful for captains picking balanced teams.

5. Roles that work similar to roles in Discord. Useful for assigning people captain priority, for example.

6. Map pool is limited to 9 maps; dust2, inferno, cache, overpass, mirage, train, nuke, cbble, season.

7. FACEIT Hubs can be made invite-only (so only SG members can play, no password required), free to join and maintain.

8. Each team has 4 x 30 second pauses (2 minutes total) per game.

9. Automated penalties for leavers/disconnects (can be overrided).

10. Multiple games can be played at the same time.

11. FACEIT has integrated game recording; a demo of every game can be downloaded once the game finishes.

 

If you have any questions about details of hubs I can answer them.

I've also created a dummy FACEIT Hub as a proof of concept, most of the settings in it are customizable. Here is an invite link:

Scrim server?

[melancholy]

Scrim server?

 

well i think whats being suggested is more of a side option to the scrim server, due to some issues it has and such

 

like the placement status things and the occasional server error with the picking system and all the commands needed. it'd be like a "quality of life" alternative to the scrims!

 

which i'd totally support and all!

Scrim server?

I explained how the FACEIT hub is different from the scrim server.

I also personally believe that it could replace the scrim server entirely (speaking from experience of using FACEIT hubs).

Scrim is fine on it’s own, I don’t think it needs to be replaced by Face-it. Scrim will most likely lose players if that happens, Scrim is for STEAM-GAMERS players to compete and hang out in a Competitive like gamemode. Roux is doing a good job keeping it up and running while fixing problems and making stuff happen to improve the server. My opinion

I agree it doesn't need to be replaced. I said that it could be replaced.

Possibly true, but I don't believes that's a problem as the people leaving the scrim server will migrate to the FACEIT hub for the same experience but with arguably better functionality.

I agree, FACEIT hubs can be made this way as well (invite only and not open to the general public)

I agree, but the scrim server doesn't have as much functionality as a FACEIT hub (see points 1-4 in original post)

1. Leaderboard https://gyazo.com/fd5c598477ef920aa0091780a86bc60e

 

2. Again "Scrim is for STEAM-GAMERS players to compete and hang out in a Competitive like gamemode."

 

3. Thats why we have a password, that way people can't just come to troll.

I guess that qualifies as a leaderboard by definition. Here are what FACEIT Hub leaderboards look like:

Leaderboards are also reset every season.

 

2. Again "Scrim is for STEAM-GAMERS players to compete and hang out in a Competitive like gamemode."

I'm not sure what you're implying by stating something I've already answered. Also see point 7 in original post.

 

3. Thats why we have a password, that way people can't just come to troll.

I'm not sure why our server password is a relevant point. Again, see point 7 in original post. There's no debate on whether or not scrim server and hub can keep trolls out; they both definitely can.

I read it wrong I’m going to stop posting in here and just going to go with my original statement about how Scrim is fine where it is

[Black Rain]

I have to say this is a pretty fucking sweet idea. I'll join the hub and see what goes into this. I'll discuss with Deli in terms of any potential marketing opportunity for SG and if it sounds feasible to run this.
