1. What is Faceit Trade ELO?

The Faceit Trade ELO system is a method for calculating the relative skill levels of players in competitive gaming. It adjusts your rating based on match outcomes compared to expected results.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses the ELO equation:

\[ R_{new} = R_{old} + K \times (S - E) \]

Where:

\( R_{new} \) — New ELO rating
\( R_{old} \) — Current ELO rating
\( K \) — K-factor (determines how much ratings change)
\( S \) — Actual score (1 for win, 0 for loss)
\( E \) — Expected score (probability of winning)

Explanation: Your rating increases if you perform better than expected (S > E) and decreases if you perform worse than expected (S < E).

3. Importance of ELO Calculation

Details: The ELO system provides a fair way to match players of similar skill levels and track skill progression over time.

4. Using the Calculator

Tips: Enter your current ELO, K-factor (typically between 16-32), actual score (1 for win, 0 for loss), and expected win probability (0-1).

5. Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: What is a typical K-factor value?
A: In gaming, K-factors typically range from 16 for established players to 32 for new players.

Q2: How is the expected score (E) calculated?
A: E = 1 / (1 + 10^((opponent_elo - your_elo)/400)). This calculator assumes E is already known.

Q3: What's considered a good ELO?
A: ELO is relative to the player pool. Higher is better, with top players often exceeding 2000+ in many systems.

Q4: Why does my ELO change by different amounts?
A: The change depends on your K-factor and how surprising the outcome was (difference between S and E).

Q5: Can ELO be negative?
A: Yes, though most systems start players at a positive baseline (e.g., 1000).
