rmn's VAC ban lifted

k1ck player Ricardo "rmn" Oliveira has seen his VAC ban lifted, the player has confirmed to HLTV.org.

The Portuguese player had received a VAC ban on his account, which he contested on the grounds that, upon launching the game, he only received a message about being banned by Overwatch, the community-based review system set up by Valve.

After over 48 hours with a VAC ban, which also translated into a FACEIT ban, Ricardo "⁠roman⁠" Oliveira has now been cleared of any wrongdoing. On Steam, the player received an automatic message that reads: "Your VAC ban in Counter-Strike: Global Offensive has been removed."

rmn's ban has been lifted

HLTV.org reached out to the Portuguese player, who gave the following statement:

"I could not believe my eyes when I saw the ban, there was no way that it could be real," roman told HLTV.org.

"It just did not make any sense, it had to be a mistake. It was one of the worst situations I have ever been in."

"Even though I was shattered, I knew that justice would be done. I have to thank everyone who helped and supported me these last couple of days."

THIS IS NOT VAC BAN!!! I have been banned like this in smurf account before and my main account which i have over 8k hours of 1.6 and GO together is still fine and not banned and i assure you that i have never cheated in my life. This is the Faulty overwatch system implemented by valve that gives demos to inexperienced players to review and the out some is this bullshit. Overwatch is a terrible way of convicting players....

No, i sent a ticket to support and i can't remember if they replied or not. But i am no one so they didn't lift it. They unban rmn because if for some reason a semi-professional or just an overall known player gets wrongly banned, all valve anti-cheat system (VAC and overwatch) will be put in question and it will be a problem for them.

VAC ban is for cheating. ScreaM is the only pro player who got banned by overwatch and it clearly says "GAME BAN" Valve says they have 0 tolerance to cheaters and VAC bans are permanent and not removable but somehow for this guy they are actually just a joke.

0 tolerance to cheaters convicted by vac. They probably fucked up the coding behind VAC+OW(remember valve saying they are working on a new AI vac? prob that was the problem) and after re-analyzing rmn's data they lifted it. Probs this AI banned him and issued a VAC? who knows...(I really doubt they are creating this AI vac tho)

I don't know about kQly. Something tells me that kQly was vac banned because they didn't lift it and also he admitted to cheat. rmn's ban is NOT a VAC ban, therefore it was a mistake like many other players banned by overwatch.

His profile page showed a VAC ban, that doesn't happen when it's an Overwatch ban. So unless their system is flawed, f.e. the backend returning the wrong ban, it was a VAC ban and NOT an Overwatch ban.

Nice insults subhuman. Doesn't even matter what a "Stream Profile" shows. The important thing is what it shows in-game. Now let me teach you about VAC bans: steamcommunity.com/profiles/765611980049.. This guy received multiple "VAC Bans" in a NON-VALVE game and it still shows VAC-BAN! Important is what the system shows in-game and not on your Steam profile. Steam profile means shit. However, welcome to the scene. ;)

There are many reasons why they are "trying to kill this game". They don't realise it, but the attitude of "we know best" is what will kill CS in the long-term. We need 128 tick servers in MM, for Demos and Overwatch too...but we don't have it. We need rifles, that cost 10x more than pistols, that can 1 shot at close range and pistols that can't 1 shot at a greater distance than rifles, etc, etc. We don't have that either. I could go on and on, but I won't bore you ;)

i don't care about those much. my point here is, they don't have any reliability anymore. i thought vac was automatic and you get vac banned because this system found cheats in your computer. now this new means there can more "undeserved" bans. and most likely they are not being cared as pros like in this case. fuckin volvo m8

The thing with pistols and rifles is just to balance the game in a way that makes eco-rounds at least possible of winning. If you had everything just like in real life the game would be boring, because every time you won a pistol round or broken the other team's economy you would have free rounds. This way every team needs to be careful and you have to learn different skills, positions and setups in order to make the pistols work. If you do that than you have merit in winning the round. I think that the game is more competitive this way, despite obviously being unrealistic in this aspect

I know why it is the way that it is, I don't even disagree with how it is...what I disagree with is the principal of it. I'm actually surprised we don't see teams take advantage of the over-powered pistols on a buy round to throw off other teams...maybe that will be the next meta, who knows?! My point is, and nothing will change except for making the games more equal, that a rifle that costs $3100 should at least be able to 1 shot at extreme close range, OR pistols should not be able to 1 shot at such a long distance. I think it's too extreme how it is right now. My opinion, and that is all it is, isn't based on reality, it's based on making the game more balanced and fair to justify the validity of the decisions made in a given match. If it becomes any more extreme we will see problems arise. All I've seen so far are these type of things becoming more extreme.

Agreed. I just think that pistols like the stupid9 shouldnt be that op. Run and gunning should only be "possible" with the smgs and still it should be hard. The only pistol that should be able to 1 shot anyone should be the deagle... The 5-7 should give maybe as much damage as an m4 close range in the head, but less body damage. I think it would balance it a bit more and still make pistols viable in force buys

If it showed VAC in his profile then it was a VAC ban. There was an update earlier this year in which some ban strings were changed, that explains why it showed something other than a VAC ban in CS. It seems it was a false VAC ban after all.

There are certain cases where VAC bans can be lifted. I know from personal experience that they can be removed because I contacted valve along with my mates and we got our mate unbanned. He was VAC banned instantly when he loaded a script which apparently was not legit but after 3 hours of contacting valve and their office, the ban was removed.

He had been using the script for some time and when he loaded it with us in the lobby, and we entered the server, he instantly got vac banned. It also displayed it on his profile. To get it removed, I called valve from my mates house and they tried telling me they have no department that deals with it but I argued and used some argumentative skills :D to persuade them to get someone who I could talk to and when they verified the script on their system (which took at least 1 hour), they finally acknowledged that the ban was wrong and he got unabanned. My mate still has the emails from last year where I sent the script and stuff to the person dealing with the issue and added all the details.

The same happened to me. All my comments have been deleted about the thread and i wonder why. If the overwatch system bans a well known player wrongly it will cause damage to Valve because their AC (VAC and overwatch) is not reliable. If it bans you or me, who basically are no one, it doesn't matter so they won't do anything. Overwatch bans shouldn't exist because they are unfair. You can not put a LEM judging whether a Global Elite cheats or not. Not even Global Elites should judge any one. Its just not fair that inexperienced players who know nothing behind the decision making or even the communication behind the demo to determine a ban or not.

vac scans automatic. false positiv can happen and valve can look up the ban reason and unban by hand. typical reason for false positive is faulty ram or programs that manipulate ram which vac thinks of as cheat.

Not a bait. His VAC ban was manual. He got overwatched, couldn't even play on Valve servers. Why would he screw up his main account by using a cheater against bots? I don't even know if you can play against bots getting OW'd lol. He couldn't play CS on his main and got VAC banned, they detected his cheats like one year after

You can't argue against facts. I know he cheated, he even said he did, but he got VAC banned like one year after his game ban. He couldn't even play on his main for one year+, how would VAC detect anything?

Sad that there is no punishment for cheating anymore, this sets a very troublesome example! Any semi-pro player could try to cheat his way to the top now if they know their vacs will get lifted anyway if they just cry on twitter. I know it might be rough for Valve to admit that there are cheaters in the (semi)-pro scene and I know it's tempting to protect their game's reputation by brushing incidents like these under the carpet. This might work short-term but will result in more cheating pros and an even worse reputation in the long run!

Why does this guy get his Overwatch ban overturned? Because he is a tier 5 portuguese pro that had his manager spam GabeN's gmail account? You have to be kidding me. What about all the other kids who got overwatch banned but can't do anything about it? Jesus christ, Valve just admitted their OW system is fucking shit. Everyone should stop doing OW reviews as a result.

NA fucking sucks get this straight, your orgs pay more then 10k to shitty teams that can't even go past the groups in a major while my country can't even pay our players the minimum wage so they can try to do something, the only player that left our country playing cs played already a major semi.final while your shitty ton of players never archieved shit. And you can see all european/south american guys that went to NA destroyed the competition there , LG , Imortals, Mixwell .. Your scene is a fucking joke, surrounded with match fixers, bullys and people that get paid more then 10k and can't do shit. Oh boy just pay our players 1k for a month and I promise next year we will have a top 20 team and possibly a major qualifier.

side note for you to read at the start- I like how you ignore the facts that k1ck were nothing "back in the day" I am not NA, but look at all those NA runner-ups and wins in premier tournaments/leagues as well as MAJORS, I rather have a team go out of groups then not even make it into groups? I didn't ask for their life story or your life story, you guys have nothing and are nothing of note. God that is why NA trades maps/series against SA guys that now live in NA? Too many irrelevant if than statements you are making zzzzz.

I agree. I even own one. I had a blast playing game called Cold Winter. Good game. I played also Burnout 3: Takedown, but I almost broke the controller so I gave up. BLACK on the other hand was a disappointment. Such a hyped game and it turned out to be a standard shooter. Ghost Recon Advanced Warfighter is so bland (the X360 and PC version are so much better). Medal of Honor and Call of Duty games are meh, ok, but nothing special. Surprisingly Lord of the Rings - Aragorn's Quest was fun. Game for children but I like it. Splinter Cell Double Agent was great. A true successor to Chaos Theory. Now I own also X360 and it's a great system. Sniper Elite V2 plays surprisingly well with a joypad (eat me PC Gaming Master Race). I am a gamer in first place.

I wonder, if he really got convicted by overwatch and some "convinced" people, how many innocent suspects get thrown under the bus because of this system? I really hope it was some sort of "bug" and not a conviction. But to be honest I believe he was just one of the 0,1% who happen to get wrongfully banned.

God you kids are dumb. OW doesnt work like ANY of you think it does. One person, watching a demo. Does NOT decide whether to ban or not. If a demo gets enough votes for cheating (after COUNTLESS reports). Then it is watched by real admins. The only thing wrong with OW; is the ability for terrible players, to report better ones. You kids are the problem. I am sure 90% of you report players that dont cheat.
