With Valve’s recent integration of Overwatch into CS2, there’s been a significant step forward in tackling the rapidly growing cheating issue in the game. However, Valve didn’t stop there; they’ve also unleashed a new wave of live bans that have shaken the cheaters infesting Counter-Strike 2.
On April 28th, reports started surfacing on various social media forums that cheaters in CS2 have been getting banned live, which led to speculations about a massive ban wave hitting the game.
The live bans, which have affected cheaters and boosters throughout the world in CS2, displayed an “account is convicted” message when they were enforced.
The games involving the cheaters were promptly canceled, and no MMR adjustments were applied to either party.
Amidst escalating concerns about cheating within the CS2 community, this announcement has undoubtedly been met with widespread relief and approval from fans around the globe.
Whether these ban waves and the Overwatch system manage to curb the amount of cheaters in Premier matchmaking remains to be seen.
