It is also worth checking the Steam ID through a universal bot that searches the network archives.

Automatic verification allows you to detect saved mentions and obtain additional information about the account.

It is recommended to conduct an analysis through Faceit Finder, as this service helps to find a user’s account on Faceit: https://faceitfinder.com/.

The Steam ID is inserted into Faceit Finder, after which the system performs a check and displays the results.

During the check, you can get an updated nickname for the user, as well as information about the country, if it remains the default. The country is determined based on the IP address used during registration.

It is possible to view links where users often leave their Twitch accounts. You can also explore the “friends” sections and hubs that the user is in, which allows you to get additional information.

In some cases, you can contact a user’s friend on Faceit and get contacts under a certain pretext.

It is recommended to do the following: copy the link to his Faceit profile and paste it into the appropriate field for further analysis.

It would be a good idea to check DotaBuff to get additional account information.

On the platform you can see the updated avatar, a list of clans in which the user was, which opens up new possibilities for searching.

At the initial stage, it is important to review the list of friends on Steam.

It is also worth paying attention to groups. If a user-created group is found, it should be checked through search engines. Such groups often leave links to Discord servers or VKontakte communities.

Particular attention should be paid to groups with a small number of participants, since personal contacts are more often left there.

It’s also worth checking all available buttons and sections on the profile page that may contain additional information.

You should definitely search for his nickname from Steam on VKontakte. You should also check the nickname you received from Faceit through the same social network.

All found nicknames and links can be inserted into YouTube search. This allows you to identify the user’s activity on the platform, their possible accounts or mentions in videos.

It is also recommended to check links and nicknames using a special service for analyzing digital footprints.

In addition, it will be useful to check all found nicknames through Telegramgogo, which will allow you to find the user’s Telegram accounts.

Conclusion

By applying a comprehensive approach to searching for a user by Steam ID, you can collect a significant amount of information about their online activity. Using search engines, specialized services (SteamID.pro, FaceitFinder, DotaBuff), as well as analyzing friends, groups, and hubs, you can find additional accounts and contacts.

Checking nicknames on VKontakte, YouTube, Telegramgogo, and other platforms helps track activity and identify new user connections.

This approach allows you to delve deeper into the digital footprint, which can be useful for OSINT investigations, tracking fraudulent schemes, or simply finding acquaintances online.
