Blogger HaiX conducted an analysis of the Premier rankings and discovered several suspicious accounts among the top players. Their statistics are so high that it's hard to believe they're playing fair. Some have low matchmaking ranks but in Premier, they dominate opponents with off-the-charts numbers.

One of the Premier leaderboard leaders actually has the modest Master Guardian rank on one map, and even lower on others. Yet in Premier, his win rate is 79%, K/D is 1.96, average damage is 127, and headshots are 44%. These statistics are clearly above average, but where does such a high Premier ranking come from?

Another top contender appears even less plausible. A 96% win rate, 3.13 K/D, 87% headshots—these are numbers even professionals can't maintain over distance. Meanwhile, this player’s profile is also not linked to FACEIT, and his gaming activity doesn't explain such figures. Like other Premier leaders, he plays with expensive skins, evidently unafraid of potential sanctions.

For comparison, Donk, one of the most talented players in the world, does not have such insane stats. He plays at the highest level, but his K/D, win rate, and ADR look realistic, matching the Tier-1 scene level. If players with a 3.13 K/D and a 96% win rate can't make it in FACEIT, it only speaks to one thing—Premier still remains a haven for cheaters, who can't show anything under fair conditions. Until Valve tightens the anti-cheat, the situation in the rankings is unlikely to change.
