On the matchmaking platform FACEIT, there appeared a separate division for the Middle East – Middle East Stars League. Every month, three best players of the league will participate in the qualification for the FPL. Members of the division will also have access to game servers in Dubai.
The League consists of three divisions, namely Silver, Gold, and Master. Players with a FACEIT level from 1-5 can participate in the Silver League and players with a FACEIT level from 6-10 can participate in the Gold League. You can get into the Master League by invitation or through the division rank below. Each month, the participants of the Master League will not only play for three slots in the qualification for the European FPL, but also for $2,000 USD.
Since the last poll & after the feedback we gathered, the two most demanded server locations were Moscow and Dubai. Which location you think we should add first to @FACEIT, together with a massive Hub league to support it? (Starting first week of June).
Moscow or Dubai? Vote! ✊

Earlier, Jesper “JW” Wecksell opened the Swedish division, Ladislav “GuardiaN” Kovacs opened a division for players from the Czech Republic & Slovakia and team Space Soldiers opened a division for the Turkish talent.
Moscow servers are coming next week. It took a bit of time because it's probably the biggest Hub project landing on FACEIT so far 😎

FPL is a closed ladder on FACEIT for professional players. It can be reached through divisions by rank below or by invitation. In Europe, the ladder has been in existence since August 2015. On March 11, 2018, FACEIT resumed the FPL operation in North America and also opened three regional divisions for CS:GO.
