might get flamed but i tired CSGO for the first time today and...
how do people play this game for 10+ years and not get bored of it? its really really really BORING.... jeez
Because Faceit gives you 128 tick rate servers instead of normal 64 tick and Faceit leveling system is way more accurate than Matchmaking. For example on average lvl 10 Faceit players (max level) are better than Global Elite ranked players (max rank in MM). Also usually Faceit comms are better, since people there usually care more. Also there's different leagues like FPL where only high level players (pros, some semi-pros etc) are allowed to play. And obviously they have better anti-cheat, knife round to determine which side you start, pick and bans etc. And with the console stuff you just join game in Faceit client and get server IP that you just paste on your console and join the game.
Overall Faceit is something that I think many would hope to have in Valorant as well. Especially higher level players.
You can just play by clicking the play button as well, but you will be playing on 64 tick valve servers and you will be matched based on your trust factor which is not good if you don't have prime or you haven't used steam enough before. Tarik usually plays on his own servers or faceit servers. Faceit is a third party matchmaking platform used by multiple games, but is very popular in CSGO. I guess you might have seen Tarik use the console a lot while playing on his own servers since he himself is the admin. If you want to play on faceit you just have to paste a connect command once and then might not even have to use the console until the game ends. But people still use the console a lot cuz it's very efficient to configure settings through it instead of searching each setting in settings menu
