How It Works
1
Player Flagged
Our server-side anti-cheat detects suspicious behavior or a player is reported by the community.
2
Added to Queue
The flagged player's demo is added to the Overwatch review queue for analysis.
3
Reviewers Assess
Verified reviewers watch the demo and independently submit their verdict.
4
Action Taken
Once enough reviewers are convinced of a violation, the player receives a ban.
