BANNED FROM FACEIT
Our story?
If anyone asked what happened to me and @_brOKencs, here is our story.
First of all, yes, we are considered cheaters, and we agree that we gain an unfair advantage over the enemy team. We don't try to find any excuses; we need to be punished for what we did. We both agree that cheating in a game should and must be punished harshly.
But is this 1:1 cheating done by third-party software?
If yes, why didn't @FACEIT close the queue until it was fixed? Instand, they close it for 15-20 minutes before reopening and thinking everything is fine—no cheaters, no exploits, no sv_cheats in Consol—we enter a game, and after 20 rounds, our friend said: Guys, you can still use the command for wallhacks (from twitter). After that, I said: Give me the command to see if it works (only to check if it is possible to make it work). I entered the command, and to my surprise, I didn't see anything on the screen. @_brOKencs said: Let me see if it works for me. For him, it worked; he saw the enemy team (our command for wallhack was only available if you had Ambiental Occlusion on High). I didn't know, and he didn't know at that time. Of course, I let the command work for me (I didn't have wallhacks), but @_brOKencs closed it.
There are going to be people saying : But why did you put the command inside the FACEIT game? Why not offline or private?
The answer is: We wanted to know if the enemy team could have it and use it so we wouldn't want to play and have to wait for the fix.
I will try to answer everyone in the comments if you have any more questions.
Now, my problem with all of that.
So @FACEIT announces that everyone trying to use the command will get punished (banned) after 80% of them have already used it. Maybe they are people who use it to win, but the problem is also people who only tried it for a round or two. Why they didn't close the queue or say above on FACEIT: IF YOU PUT IT YOU GET BANNED, is like a bait fish, twitter/tiktok full of it and of course you are curios to see as well, than banned ending careers or casual players for what? Because they didn't or can't close the queue for everyone? And the most ridiculous reason, and what I hate about all that, is that me and my friend who tried to achieve something in this game are considered cheaters, like we cheated for life and we are ruining other players lives. For those people, you are stupid to say stuff like that, or: Once a cheater is always a cheater. You are not making any sense.
The resolve:
I read on Twitter one guy was saying it's like a proving ground for everyone. If you want unban, go there and prove you want to be unban, and for those who don't, don't join or put me back in lvl1 and ban me for 3-6 months. I will be more happy with this than a 2 YEARS BAN (The 2-year ban is in the sweet spot of thinking you can wait or end your career, or uninstall the game.) It is not fair for everyone who uses it for 1–5 rounds to be banned for 2 years. NOT FAIR.
Give everyone one more change, 3-6 months fair, and also the Elo reduction fair.
