The FACEIT EGO Enhancer is a popular FACEIT extension that boils every player down to one number — an EGO Score from 0 to 100 — so you can size up the lobby at a glance. Here is exactly what FACEIT EGO does, whether it is safe, and the best alternative if you also want win probability by map, player roles and smurf detection.
What is FACEIT EGO?
FACEIT EGO (the EGO Enhancer) is a browser extension for Chrome that reads public FACEIT data and surfaces it in the CS2 matchroom. Its signature feature is the EGO Score: a single 0–100 rating per player, plus a pre-match win chance for both teams.
FACEIT EGO's main features
- EGO Score — a single 0–100 skill rating on every profile in the lobby.
- Pre-match win chance — an estimated win probability for both teams.
- Lobby stats — K/D, K/R, ADR and win rate on each player.
- Chrome extension — free, reads only public FACEIT data.
Is FACEIT EGO safe?
Yes. FACEIT EGO is a browser UI enhancer that only reads public FACEIT data — it is not a cheat and never touches the CS2 game client. It is published on the Chrome Web Store. The same applies to GRIND.
FACEIT EGO vs GRIND
Both score the lobby before the match, so they are direct alternatives rather than a pair you stack. EGO compresses each player into one 0–100 number; GRIND keeps a single rating too (five skill rings plus a role) but ties the read to specific maps and players, and adds the signals one number can't show:
| Feature | Faceit EGO | GRIND |
|---|---|---|
| Player skill score | Yes (single 0–100) | Yes (5 rings + role) |
| Lobby stats (K/D, ADR, win rate) | Yes | Yes |
| Player notes | Yes | Yes (private, on your device) |
| Win probability by map | Yes (basic) | Yes (detailed) |
| Detailed per-map analytics | — | Yes |
| Player roles (skill rings) | — | Yes |
| Current team form | — | Yes |
| Current player form | Yes | Yes |
| Smurf & booster detection | — | Yes |
| Face-to-face compare | — | Yes |
| New ELO tiers | — | Yes |
| Server preview on accept | — | Yes |
| Extended match history | — | Yes |
| Match & invite auto-accept | — | Yes (100%) |
In short: EGO's edge is simplicity — one 0–100 number per player. GRIND keeps that quick read but goes further: win probability by map, detailed per-map analytics, current team and player form, player roles, smurf and booster detection and a face-to-face compare. If you want one tool to read your whole lobby, GRIND is the more complete pick.
Everything GRIND does, in one list:
- Win chance on every map — a radar across the whole pool plus a breakdown per map — pick the one where your team is ahead. That is the ELO.
- Team face-off — win chance, Firepower, average kills and K/D above each team.
- Roles and 5 skill rings — CARRY, AWPER, ENTRY and more on all ten players — see who does what at a glance.
- FACEIT Rating and Swing — each player's real round impact over the last 30 matches.
- Last 30 matches — win rate, K/D/A, ADR and HS% for every player in the lobby.
- Career and maps — how many matches a player has played and their stats on every map.
- Form and streaks — who is in form right now and who is on a win or loss streak.
- Smurf and Boosted score 0–100 — suspicious and boosted accounts show up before round one.
- Levels 11–20 — tell level 10s apart above 2,250 ELO — with GRIND metals or levels 11–20.
- Played together — who you have already met in your last 100 matches, and the score.
- 1v1 Duel — compare any two players in the lobby head to head.
- Player notes — tag a griefer or a great teammate — the note pops up next time you meet and stays on your device only.
- Auto-accept match and invite — never miss a match while you are away; delay from 1 to 10 seconds.
- Server and ping on the accept popup — the match server right in the accept window, server ping there and on the server-picker page.
- Auto map ban — when you are captain, your least favourite map is banned for you — with a countdown and a cancel button.
- Auto position — your spot on the chosen map goes to team chat first, once per match.
- Auto-copy connect — the moment the server is ready, the connect line is on your clipboard — paste it into the CS2 console.
- Match history — average ELO of both teams, 10/20/30-match markers and a scoreboard on hover.
- Profile summary — your best map, day and time to play, plus per-map stats.
- Your own card — your ELO, progress to the next level and session ±ELO in the corner of the page.
- Find FACEIT by Steam — a player's FACEIT profile right from their Steam page — even if the profile is private.
The best FACEIT EGO alternative
If what you really want is win probability by map plus smurf and booster detection, player roles and a fast face-to-face compare, GRIND is the best alternative to FACEIT EGO — it reads your whole lobby in one panel, so you don't need a second extension bolted on to get a complete pre-match picture. Auto-ready and recent-match stats, the reason people install Repeek, are already in GRIND too — no third extension needed.

FACEIT EGO vs GRIND — which is better?
EGO's strength is a single 0–100 score per player. GRIND covers more of the match — win probability by map, detailed per-map analytics, current team form, player roles, smurf/booster detection and a face-to-face compare — so as a single pre-match tool GRIND does more.
