Applying to a CS2 team? Start here.

Put together a clear CS2 team application: FACEIT profile, roles, team experience, and NA practice availability. Here is what to send STIM staff.

Make your profile easy to find

When you contact us, include your Discord username and a direct link to your FACEIT profile. Use the Discord account you plan to follow up from. That gives staff a way to find you and look through the information you send.

  • Discord username
  • FACEIT profile link
  • Main roster or substitute interest

Tell us your role

Say what you usually play and what you would like to play on a team. If you have a secondary role, include it too. An IGL, AWPer, and rifler can bring different experience to a lineup; tell us yours without trying to cover every role.

A short summary of previous teams, leagues, or other competitive play helps give your profile context. You can include your FACEIT level and ELO, but we have not published a minimum requirement. Ask staff about current expectations.

Give days, times, and a timezone

STIM competes in North America. “Most evenings” leaves a lot to guess. List the days you can practice, your start and finish times, and your timezone. Mention any regular commitments that affect that schedule.

If you live outside NA, explain when you can play on an NA schedule and what your connection is like. Staff can discuss whether that fits the team; sending an application does not confirm eligibility.

Add clips with context

Clips are optional. If you send one, give us a working link and a sentence about what we are watching. A highlight can show a play, while your application explains the role, experience, and availability behind it.

You can watch our starting five's showcases on the roster page. T3RMS is our IGL, powu plays AWP, and poppy9, bib, and namertag play rifle.

Check openings, then follow up

Ask staff in Discord about current main-roster or substitute openings, FACEIT requirements, and practice times. We consider main-roster and substitute applications; staff can tell you what is currently available.

Send your introduction through Discord or email. Our tryouts page has both contact options. Follow up with staff in Discord; applying does not guarantee a tryout or roster spot. Never send passwords or account recovery codes with an application.
