The story of 18-year-old player Maidar “nocries”, who quickly rose to become FACEIT’s top-ranked player in North America, has reached a dramatic conclusion. After several days of testing at FACEIT’s New York headquarters, the administration confirmed his gameplay as legitimate. Moreover, the young talent received an invitation to a trial period in FPL North America, marking a major step toward the professional CS2 scene.<\/p>
nocries became one of the hottest topics in the CS2 community after his rapid rise on FACEIT’s ladder. He gained more than 4000 ELO in under 1000 matches, eventually securing the #1 spot in the regional rankings. His statistics looked almost unreal, which fueled rumors and accusations of cheating.<\/p>
To put an end to speculation, FACEIT invited him to their New York office. For several days, he played only on equipment prepared and monitored by the platform’s anti-cheat team.<\/p>
The results spoke for themselves:<\/p>
These numbers nearly mirrored his online statistics, proving that he could maintain his level in fully controlled conditions.<\/p>
On the final day of the review, FACEIT announced that nocries had been officially invited to FPL North America.<\/p>
