Streamer Esmeevee drew attention to the alleged cheating by ManeschijnX. According to her, she previously played under the nickname Bentas and used cheats on the FACEIT platform. However, after the ban, she changed her in-game nickname and, presumably, her gender to be able to continue playing professionally under a different identity. More on this can be read in the article.
