NisaY, Pro Player Valorant Leaderboard Rank Holder Banned

Riot Games has banned Yasin “Nisay” Gök with a ban of up to 12 months. Nisay is considered to have cheated in the ranked match, contributors reported esports insider, Rod “Slasher” Breslau.

NisaY’s ban also affected his future in the Beşiktaş Esports team. The Turkish organization removed him from the roster and even terminated NisaY’s contract.

For info, when the ban was dropped, NisaY still occupied No. 1 on the EU ranked leaderboard. NisaY claims to have been downgraded from Radiant to Immortal so try using the Riot Vanguard anti-cheat to fix that.

NisaY revealed that he was innocent in this case through a long tweet on TwitLonger. “I’m not too stupid to cheat just because I’m at Radiant in a competitive match,” said NisaY.

NisaY has released a response stating that Riot Games banned him due to community pressure, not evidence
if this were truly how Riot handles cheating in valorant then surely they would have banned Niesow by now. a false ban by Riot would look very bad for them

“They said they never handled it like this at an official Riot tournament. We have been in long-term communication with Riot to constantly exchange information. When we asked 3rd party software if they would show any evidence, we were under pressure from the community and they said they wouldn’t do it.”
