Every month, players compete for a prize pool based on their performance in solo-queue matchmaking. To qualify for the FACEIT Pro League, players must earn a promotion through FACEIT Pro League Challenger or be a member of a professional team. Smooya, a professional CS:GO player from the UK, recently opted to step down from the majority German roster of BIG. The AWPer cited difficulties with fitting into the BIG system as his reason for the decision. Dexerto reported on February 1 that smooya would be trying out with Denial Esports\u2018 Counter-Strike lineup. The Brit played with the South African team on February 3 in the IEM Sydney 2019 online qualifiers but a full-time move is unlikely to materialize.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
