Hi everyone,

I’m here to talk about a permanent Overwatch ban I recently received on my CS2 account. I’m honestly devastated and extremely frustrated, because I know I’ve done absolutely nothing wrong — and I feel like I’ve been judged unfairly by a system that can’t capture the full truth.

Let me be very clear: I have never cheated on CS2 or CS:GO. I’ve been playing Counter-Strike for over two years, with real dedication, effort, and love for the game. I’ve never used any external software, cheats, exploits, or even shady scripts. I’ve never shared my account. I’ve put hundreds of hours into learning maps, improving crosshair placement, callouts, rotations, timings, and teamplay.

About the match that triggered the ban:
I was streaming the game live on Discord, in front of five people who watched the full match.

I was communicating constantly with my teammates, sharing enemy positions, rotations, utility usage, and bomb plans.

I often play the role of in-game leader, giving out structured calls and tracking opponent behavior.

I had good stats in that match, yes — but it was the result of game sense, teamwork, and communication, not cheating.

The real issue? Prejudices and mass reports.
In CS2 and CS:GO, when someone performs above average, especially in solo queue, it’s very common to be accused of cheating. People get salty, toxic, or frustrated and instantly call you a cheater.

What happens next?

You get mass-reported by players who didn’t even watch your POV.

The case goes to Overwatch, and sometimes a few careless or biased reviewers can destroy years of effort with a single click.

There’s no way to explain yourself, to show evidence, or to appeal.

I am not just saying “I didn’t cheat” — I can prove it:
I have Discord stream recordings, voice chat logs, and multiple witnesses.

My teammates can confirm my calls were accurate because of communication, not wallhacks.

I can break down any suspicious moment in slow motion and show that it was based on logic, map knowledge, sound, and info from teammates — not ESP or aimbot.

Why I’m posting this:
I know Valve usually doesn’t reverse Overwatch bans, and that this forum might not change anything officially.
But I’m posting this here for two reasons:

To ask for any advice from players who’ve experienced something similar, or from people who know if a case can still be reviewed by a real human at Valve.

To raise awareness: the current system punishes good players too easily, just because they’re good. If enough people speak up, maybe something will eventually change.

Final words:
All I want is a fair and human review of my gameplay. I’m confident that anyone with integrity who watches my POV with full context will see the truth: I didn’t cheat — I just played well.

Thanks for reading. Feel free to comment or DM me if you’ve been in a similar situation or know how I could get this looked at.
