At the tail end of April, Counter-Strike 2 players started noticing a ban wave with hundreds of cheaters getting slammed with the ban hammer, even during live matches. This sparked new hope in the community.
On May 5, a player posted ConVars data on CS2‘s subreddit, claiming the recent ban wave is bigger than the previous one. Relived players are now thanking the developer for its efforts in fighting cheaters. They’ve been running rampant since September 2023, discouraging players from playing the game.
