Unfortunately the Overwatch system has been disabled for years, and we currently have no reason to think it will be reopened for CS2. I take this opportunity to share this great talk about Valve's usage of deep learning to fight cheati

So the logic here is, because 80% of a population living in an open air prison for several decades support attacks on the people oppressing them, they deserve to be tortured?
