k1ck player Ricardo "rmn" Oliveira has seen his VAC ban lifted, the player has confirmed to HLTV.org.

The Portuguese player had received a VAC ban on his account, which he contested on the grounds that, upon launching the game, he only received a message about being banned by Overwatch, the community-based review system set up by Valve.

After over 48 hours with a VAC ban, which also translated into a FACEIT ban, Ricardo "⁠rmn⁠" Oliveira has now been cleared of any wrongdoing. On Steam, the player received an automatic message that reads: "Your VAC ban in Counter-Strike: Global Offensive has been removed."

rmn's ban has been lifted

HLTV.org reached out to the Portuguese player, who gave the following statement:

"I could not believe my eyes when I saw the ban, there was no way that it could be real," rmn told HLTV.org. "It just did not make any sense, it had to be a mistake. It was one of the worst situations I have ever been in." "Even though I was shattered, I knew that justice would be done. I have to thank everyone who helped and supported me these last couple of days."
