What is Corevill?
Corevill runs Counter-Strike 2 cups on our own servers in Helsinki: free cups (2v2 Wingman or 5v5, no entry fee) and paid 5v5 cups (a flat entry fee per player in USDT). Every cup has a fixed prize that Corevill announces before the cup and pays. For example, Corevill Cup #1 pays 600 / 250 / 150 USDT to the top three teams plus 1,000 USDT to the best player: 2,000 USDT, fixed before the cup. You can also play for free on our community servers (Deathmatch, Retakes, Surf, 1v1 Arena) and in Quick Match pickup games. Sign in with an email code, Google or Steam. Corevill is run by Loriam Holding Ltd, a company registered in Cyprus.
Is Corevill part of Valve or Steam?
No. Counter-Strike 2 and Steam are trademarks of Valve Corporation. Corevill is not run, sponsored or endorsed by Valve.
Who decides who receives a prize?
The matches do. Who receives a prize depends only on how the teams play. Nothing in a cup is decided by a random draw. We do not promise that any player or team will receive a prize.
Who can enter paid cups?
Players aged 18 or older who live in, and connect from, a country where paid cups are open (today Austria, Finland and the Netherlands), and whose Steam account passes our checks. Every Corevill cup, free or paid, is 18+.
Is my country open?
The pay step shows the country you are joining from. We check the country of your IP address when you register, when you pay and again at check-in, and you confirm that you live in a country where paid cups are open. Paid cups are open only in a few countries for now.
What do you ask when I sign up?
One tick: that you are 18 or older and accept the terms and prize rules. No date of birth, no nationality, no forms, no documents. For a paid cup, one more tick when you pay: that you are 18 or older and live in a country where paid cups are open. If you win, we may ask you for an ID before we pay (we send a secure link); a false declaration means no prize.
Can I use a VPN?
No. Do not use a VPN or proxy to hide where you are. It can lead to your account being closed.
Why do you need my Steam account?
You sign in with an email code, Google or Steam, so we never see a password. To play a cup or Quick Match you connect Steam. We use your public Steam data to check the account's age, your Counter-Strike 2 playtime and any bans. These checks help keep cheaters and smurfs out.
What are the account checks?
- The Steam account is at least 365 days old.
- No VAC or game ban from the last 730 days.
- No community ban.
Some cups use different checks. The cup page shows them.
Can I have more than one account?
No. One account per person. A second account is closed, and it can lead to a ban on both.
Do I keep money on Corevill?
No. There is no account balance and nothing to top up. You pay each entry fee when you register for a cup, and we pay prizes and refunds straight to your verified wallet.
How do I pay the entry fee?
When you register, you get a payment request with the exact amount, the network and an address. Send exactly that amount of USDT, on Tron (TRC20) or BNB Smart Chain (BEP20), before the request expires. Pay from a self-custody wallet that you own.
What if I send the wrong amount, the wrong token or use the wrong network?
The entry is not confirmed. Contact support at once. If the token and network were right, we return the payment to the wallet it came from, less the network fee. Another token or the wrong network may be lost, and we cannot promise to recover it.
What is a verified wallet?
A USDT wallet on Tron or BNB Smart Chain that you own and control, and that you have proved is yours by signing a message with it, or by paying an entry fee from it. We pay prizes and refunds only to a verified wallet.
Can I use an exchange address?
Not as your payout wallet. An exchange deposit address cannot prove that the wallet is yours. Use a self-custody wallet. Also check that your wallet supports USDT on the network you use.
How much is the entry fee?
Free cups cost nothing. In a paid cup: 10 USDT per player unless the cup page says otherwise. A team of five pays five entry fees, and the captain can pay for the whole team.
Can I get my entry fee back?
Refunds are made only by our team. If the cup is cancelled, or your team is removed at check-in, we refund the entry fee in USDT to the verified wallet of the person who paid it. If you need to leave a cup before it starts, contact support and we will decide.
What happens if not enough teams sign up?
The cup is cancelled and every entry fee is refunded in USDT to the verified wallet of the person who paid it.
When do we check in?
Check-in opens 45 minutes before the start and closes 10 minutes before it. The captain checks the team in. A team that does not check in is removed, and its entry fees are refunded.
What if a team does not show up?
A team that is not on the server 10 minutes after the server is ready loses that match by forfeit.
What is the format?
Single elimination, 8 to 128 teams: the cup page shows the most teams a cup takes, and the bracket takes the next size up from the teams that check in. Teams are seeded by the average rating of their players, then by registration time. There are no random draws. Matches are best of one with a map veto, and the higher seed starts the veto. The final is best of three, and there is a match for third place. A knife round decides sides.
Do you record matches?
Yes. Every match is recorded as a demo. The admins can review demos, especially before prizes are paid.
How big is the prize?
Each cup has a fixed prize in USDT, shown on the cup page before you enter. Corevill pays it. It does not change with the number of teams, and entry fees are not added to it.
How is the prize split?
By default, 1st place gets 60%, 2nd place 25% and 3rd place 15%. Each team's share is split equally among its players who played. A cup can use a different split. The cup page shows it.
When is my prize paid?
Prizes are pending for 24 hours while the admins review the cup. After that, we pay your share in USDT to your verified wallet.
How fast are prize payments?
Prizes below 50 USDT are usually paid automatically once the checks pass. Larger prizes may also be paid automatically if all checks pass. Prizes of 1000 USDT or more, and payments above 1000 USDT per player per day, are checked by a person first.
Are there fees?
We pay the network fee for prize payments and for refunds of cancelled cups.
Do I pay tax on prizes?
Tax rules depend on the country you live in. You are responsible for any tax on your prizes.
What gets you banned?
Cheats, smurfing, account sharing, ringers, match fixing, collusion, and putting money on the result of any Corevill match. These lead to disqualification, voided results, lost prizes and bans. The full list is in the Terms of Use.
I think a player cheated. What do I do?
Report it in the #support channel on our Discord server as soon as you can, and before the review window ends. Tell us the match and the player.
How do I pause or limit my account?
Contact support. We can pause your account for a period you choose, or set a limit on how much you spend on entry fees. See Responsible Play.
How do I close my account?
Contact support. Prizes and refunds already due to you are still paid to your verified wallet.
What are XP, levels and badges?
The player hub gives you XP and badges for real things you do: connect Steam, join your first cup, invite a friend who joins a cup, play and win matches, reach the top 3, be the best player of a cup. They are for fun only: XP, levels and badges have no money value and give no advantage, entry, seeding or prize. They can never be bought, sold, transferred or exchanged.
Can I hide from the live feed?
Yes. In your account, turn off "Show me in the lobby feed". Your Steam name, avatar and country flag then stop appearing in the feed and the top lists.
How do I contact support?
Ask in the #support channel on our Discord server or email [email protected].
