Faceit to Issue Two‑Year Bans for Players Abusing Fast Teleport Bug in CS2

On September 2, 2025, esports platform FACEIT announced it is investigating two new exploits in Counter‑Strike 2 (“Super Jump” and “Teleport”), which allow players to move in ways that defy the game’s intended mechanics. FACEIT confirmed that abuse of these bugs constitutes a breach of competitive integrity and will result in the standard two‑year ban, consistent with previous punishments for similar exploit abuse.

One such bug—relating to "fast teleport"—was publicly demonstrated by streamer PSP1G, including console commands and keybinds to activate the exploit. Valve has not commented on the bug, nor have there been any reports of bans on official CS2 servers to date.

Additional Confirmed Context

Similar reporting zeroed in on both the “Super Jump” and “Teleport” exploits. FACEIT reiterated that exploiting them will trigger the standard two‑year ban, reinforcing that their anti‑cheat policy applies consistently.

On social media (X/Twitter), FACEIT acknowledged awareness of these exploits and emphasized that abusing them is considered a serious integrity violation, subject to their established two‑year ban policy.

Community Reaction

Reactions within the community range from support to criticism:

Supportive players argue such strict action is necessary to preserve fair competitive play.

Others question the proportionality, arguing that bugs—even serious ones—warrant more measured penalties than a full two‑year ban.

Some of the standout reactions include:

“Lmao 2 year ban for a bug” — mocking the severity of the punishment.

“Smurfs should get same ban time” — highlighting perceived inconsistency in FACEIT’s enforcement.

“Your platform is full of smurfs and cheaters… abusing a bug triggers a 2 year ban, GJ” — an expression of frustration at platform policies.

Final Thoughts

FACEIT’s two-year ban policy underscores its commitment to upholding fair play, treating exploit abuse as gravely as traditional cheating. Whether the community views this as justified or excessive, the move clearly signals that any form of gaining unfair advantage—even through bugs—has serious consequences. The absence of commentary from Valve adds ambiguity, while players remain divided over what constitutes fair punishment in the age of emergent game exploits.
