Overwatchers can't see rank or anything like that. All they see is the raw game footage

I'm sure that the overwatch system is faultless but human actions will always have mistakes,isn't it?

Again, if even one person thought the account wasn't breaking the rules, it wouldn't have gotten a ban in the first place. This is not hard to understand.

Overwatchers don't have the right to ban your account. They can only decide your game is suspicious or not. So if you got a ban, high chances are they were right that you cheated.

Indeed, humans can error. But how likely is it that about 100 people in one case all make the same error?
It only takes ONE person to say no to dismiss the whole Overwatch case.

Additionally, every Overwatch participant is tested constantly with known verified cases. Of course the participant never knows if it is a real case or a test case they see.
Valve is aware that no person is constantly 100% correct and have appropriate measures in place to handle that.

Valve says that they can certainly ban the account. They are also confident that whatever decision the Overwatchers make, is correct.

Read below.

Can I appeal my Overwatch ban?
No. Overwatch bans of any kind cannot be appealed and are not removed at Steam Support. Because bans are only issued when Investigators unanimously agree on a conviction we are confident that applied Overwatch bans should remain. If even one Overwatch Investigator does not agree on a conviction the Suspect will not receive a ban of any kind.

I played csgo for a long time like 2 years, and i bought prime a month ago so that may be a reason why i got banned, because i was usually top fragger, or maybe griefing?

No, buying Prime does not trigger an Overwatch Ban. You have all the information you need in this thread.

"Playing good" does also not trigger an Overwatch ban. There's a LOT of judges who watched your gameplay footage, you did something you were not allowed to do.

Three reasons and three reasons only for an Overwatch ban.

Blatant cheating, a second griefing offense, or being involved in MM manipulation.

How in the world do you have 800 hours in CS:GO and still not know that griefing will get your account permanently banned?

650hours are just community servers so as i was saying i bought a prime like a month ago and then i started playing mm, never knew i could get perma ban for that

As they say, ignorance is not an excuse. Further, griefing has been a bannable offense in CSGO for a LONG time. 2016
