How to Broadcast a FACEIT Tournament in CS2

Why FACEIT Events Deserve Real Graphics

FACEIT handles signups, brackets and servers — but the stream itself is on you. A raw game capture with no intro, no lineups and no scoreboard looks like a scrim, not a tournament. The good news: because the match data already exists on FACEIT, most of your production setup can be imported instead of typed.

Step 1 — Import Teams and Matches From FACEIT

CutROOM's FACEIT import pulls a match or a team into your event in minutes: team names, logos and rosters land directly in your teams library, and the matchup is created with the right BO format. From there, add player photos and roles if you want the full lineup scene treatment.

Step 2 — Build the Event Frame

• Theme — apply your event's colors, logo and typography once; every scene inherits it.
• Bracket — mirror the FACEIT playoff tree in the bracket scene so viewers see the road to the final.
• Sponsors and talents — load partner logos and your caster lineup for the desk and break scenes.

Step 3 — Run the Match Day

Connect CS2 via GSI on the observer machine, add the CutROOM browser sources to OBS, and drive the show from the Go Live console: intro while casters open, pick/ban scene during the veto, live HUD through the rounds, intermission with the bracket between maps, victory recap at the end. Update the series score as maps close and the bracket follows.

Step 4 — Repeat Without Rework

For the next round, import the next FACEIT match — your theme, sponsors, talents and scenes are already in place. This is what makes weekly FACEIT leagues sustainable for a small crew: the setup cost is paid once, not per match.
