The Streamsniper Check helps you identify potential stream snipers by comparing your active FACEIT match lobby with your current Twitch viewers. If a match participant is detected in your chat, the FACEITSync bot can announce it automatically.
How the Streamsniper Check Works
- A FACEIT match starts and the lobby is detected
- FACEITSync reads the player list of the current match
- The bot compares FACEIT player names with your Twitch viewer list
- If a match is found, a warning is posted in chat
The check can run automatically or be triggered manually by moderators.
Automatic Background Checks
The Streamsniper Check runs automatically in the background. FACEITSync checks the Twitch viewer list at regular intervals without requiring any manual interaction.
- The viewer list is checked approximately every 2 minutes
- Detected overlaps are announced automatically in chat
- The
!fscheckcommand is usually not required - Manual checks are only useful for immediate verification
In normal operation, moderators and streamers do not need to trigger checks manually. The system monitors the situation continuously during the match.
Detection Logic
- FACEIT lobby of the active match
- Current Twitch viewer list
- Name matching between FACEIT players and chat viewers
- Optional filtering (e.g. enemy team only)
For security reasons, the exact matching logic is intentionally not fully disclosed.
Automatic Announcements & Cooldowns
To avoid spam and false alerts, the Streamsniper Check follows strict rules:
- Minimum watch time before an announcement is triggered
- Announcements are rate-limited with cooldowns
Manual Checks
Moderators and the streamer can manually trigger a check using a chat command
(e.g. !fscheck).
- Available only to streamer, moderators, or admins
- Respects the same cooldown and safety limits
Bot Permissions
The FACEITSync bot requires moderator permissions in your channel to function correctly.
- Required to access the Twitch viewer list
- Required to post announcements in chat
