Hi everyone. Obviously there is a lot of consternation and confusion right now over the recent bans. I just wanted to clarify a few things.

As the official post says, playing on a client distributed by anybody other than us or our official partners could get you flagged for a ban. Yes, this means if you sideloaded the game you were likely flagged. Our official partners are Apple, Google, Flexion and Steam. We distribute the game on PC through the downloader at https://playcontestofchampions.com/ Those are the only official channels to get the game, if you used any other means you were likely flagged.

We tested this algorithm against hundreds of known good accounts without any false positives. Having said that, in any action this big, there might be edge cases that couldn't be accounted for in advance. We are obviously taking these reports seriously and investigating these cases.

Guys I think 10k is a very big number, even if 4-5 % of bans are false positives (entirely positive) it's still 500 accounts. A ban of this scale likely have few legit guys getting banned or warned.

That's another reason why this is so weird. You don't think they were surprised at the number itself?... They just said 10k high five and said have a great weekend guys?...

its appalling how they pulled this bs on the weekends, they had no reason for it but they deliberately decided to do it when you cant reach support

This situation is strange, and unlike some dumb hypocrite i am going to treat as a stray dog from now on. I have not sided with anyone. I just pointed out how strange the whole situation is. No one I know got banned, not many people I read in the forums got banned (at least until you posted), no content creator got banned. The number 10k is HUGE, it should even surprise them, but they are standing to their decision based on how they handled it.

thing is I'm under the temporary 7 day ban category so I likely fall under the few thousand accounts they just banned as a warning , i dont even know at this point man

I am not gonna trash talk you like others that think I am siding with Kabam. I do find this strange in a way. The numbers, their confidence, the impact this will bring. Its the last drop either from them or for the players.
