One of CS:GO’s most infamous cheaters can now compete again in CS2 after 5-year ban expires
The notorious Indian CS:GO cheater Nikhil “forsaken” Kumawat is now free to return to competition in CS2, with the ban handed by the Esports Integrity Commission (ESIC) in 2018 expiring today, Oct. 24.
Forsaken was caught cheating at the eXTREMESLAND Asia Finals in Shanghai, China on Oct. 19, 2018. The scene of tournament administrators inspecting forsaken’s computer became an instant meme in the CS:GO community, especially because forsaken’s hack was named “word.exe.”
