The ad break ends before gameplay begins
Smart Ads uses the natural wait between FACEIT finding a match and the first round. The ad break runs while players connect, instead of taking the screen away when the match is already worth watching.

Before setup
What to know
When does the ad run?
After FACEIT finds a match, while players connect and confirm the lobby. Once gameplay has started, Upceit does not trigger another break for that match.
Why is this better than a random scheduled ad?
The viewer sees the break during waiting time rather than during a round. The match stays intact, giving the audience less reason to leave at the exact moment the action begins.
What does a new viewer get?
Twitch counts the mid-roll and removes pre-roll for a limited time. Each 30 seconds of ads usually provides about 10 minutes of pre-roll-free entry, up to 60 minutes. Twitch controls the final behavior.
Can an ad be stopped after it starts?
No. Twitch does not allow an active break to be cancelled, so short durations and a small delay are safer for unusually fast lobbies.
Who can use Smart Ads?
Twitch advertising is available to Affiliate and Partner channels. Upceit also needs a connected Twitch account and the required permissions.
