An analysis of the average age of active FACEIT Level 10 players has been conducted. The study revealed a clear age-related trend among the platform’s strongest players.
The number of Level 10 players steadily increases year by year and reaches its peak at the age of 23. This is the age at which FACEIT records the highest concentration of top-level players. This trend may indicate an optimal balance of reaction speed, in-game experience, and the amount of time players are willing to invest in competitive Counter-Strike.
Starting from the age of 27, the number of active Level 10 players begins to decline. Analysts link this to players entering new life stages: work, family, and other priorities gradually replace regular high-level play.
Overall, the data confirms that peak individual activity on FACEIT falls in the early-to-mid 20s, after which participation at the highest competitive level becomes less widespread.
As a reminder, the prize pool for CS2 at EWC 2026 will amount to $2 million.
