It seems like this plague doesn’t just hit our Premier matches, but also FACEIT.

Wonderful_Y, the #1 ranked player on the platform has received a two-year ban for cheating.

No, not that w0nderful. We know, it’s a bit confusing.

According to his HLTV page, the 23-year-old has represented teams like SG.pro, EC Kyiv, and eHawks. However, it was on the FACEIT servers that his supposed “talent” shined brightest.

But hey, he might have been wrongfully punished, right? Wrong.

The Ukrainian player attempted to defend himself after the ban, blaming the brief use of the sv_cheats exploit.

Unfortunately for him, his attempt fell flat, as a FACEIT admin promptly pointed out that all bans related to the bug were swiftly handed out.

Curiously, just a day before the ban, STYKO posted a video analyzing Wonderful_Y’s FACEIT demos.

Talk about timing.

In his closing words, Wonderful_Y stated that he “wanted to leave anyways to irl after faceit season”.

Well, we think we speak for most of the CS community when we say this.

Don’t come back.
