SlicerogueI agree that faceit is a worse platform but i also believer that pugging on faceit will provide benefits long term. With that said there was this post which I think sums it up quite nicely on a previous post.

ok i just gotta say we tried esea pugs for a good bit and they were frankly awful, im not going to put myself through playing unfun pugs just to hope to someday *maybe* do something for the game in the long run (yea guys im sure a valve $100 million major is gonna happen just keep playing faceit pugs and cross your fingers)
the game is ten years old i dont think its going to suddenly get big because we played faceit lol
