Premier vs FACEIT
Premier CS Rating and FACEIT Elo measure different player pools on different scales. Neither Valve nor FACEIT publishes a conversion, so any table that turns one into the other is an estimate.
Side by side
| Scale | Premier: CS Rating from 0 up, no cap | FACEIT: Elo from 100, levels 1 to 10 |
|---|---|---|
| Visible after | 10 wins in a season | Your first match |
| Starts at | Not published by Valve | 1,000 Elo, or translated from Premier |
| Bands | 7 colours, 5,000 points each | 10 levels of uneven width |
Why there is no exact conversion
New FACEIT players with Prime status and enough Premier wins start from their Premier rating, translated with a formula FACEIT has not published. Everyone else starts at 1,000 Elo. That translation is the only official link between the two, and its formula is private. The two also rank different groups of players in different matchmaking, so the same player can sit at a different point on each scale.
Any Premier-to-FACEIT table you find elsewhere is an estimate, not an official figure.
