Former NAVI and FlipSid3 player Yegor "markeloff" Markelov shared on Twitter that he has encountered cheaters twice today in Counter-Strike 2's premiere mode.

I played four games of CS2Premier today, and in two of them I had a cheater or even two on the enemy team. It's just sad that you can't counter anything during the game. Can't kick them or ban them. Just AFK on the spawn, because what's the point if you're going to get shot anyway:)

Cheaters have been a big problem for Valve throughout the entire period of CS:GO's existence. This was one of the reasons why players chose side platforms like FACEIT, where anti-cheat was better set up. Therefore, it was expected that the situation would improve with the release of the new game.

It is worth reminding that markeloff is currently working with the German organization ESC Gaming as a content maker. The company has a CS:GO Ukrainian squad in CS:GO, which is currently going 9-1 in ESEA Main Europe Season 46.
