As one of the most exciting up-and-coming Warzone players that have taken full advantage of streaming and social media platforms, such as TikTok, to become a hit sensation, "Fivebyfivex" has not been too far away from cheating accusations. In fact, the majority of her interactions on social media are based on defending herself from players claiming she's cheating, but nothing has ever been proven.
Despite maintaining her innocence, and falling in favour with Activision themselves, Fivebyfivex has now been permanently banned on Warzone, amid the accusations.
The ban comes just days after she was invited down to Infinity Ward's HQ to be one of very few streamers who were gifted with early access to Modern Warfare 2.
Fivebyfivex Receives Perma-Ban on Warzone
Taking to Twitter, Fivebyfivex revealed that her account had been banned, following a recent shadowban, and will have no option but to start over.
The streamer also added that she had been in contact with Activision, but the "bans are final".
"I'm open to pc checks and all my gameplay is there for anyone to analyze," she continued.
Why was Fivebyfivex banned from Warzone?
Throughout Fivebyfivex's explanations surrounding her ban, she has insisted that she has no idea why the account was banned, as she's "never cheated"
Speaking on Twitch, she soon claimed that "It's perma-banned for literally no reason. What happened was, after my 40-bomb and multiple 30s, I was shadowbanned. I guess people mass-reported me, or I was shooting too straight. This was like a week ago, and then a couple of days later I was perma-banned."
The streamer has persisted in saying that she's innocent of cheating, although she will never get the account back as, "even if it's a wrongful ban, they are not reversing it, no matter what. My account is gone."
Fivebyfivex was one of a few streamers that have played Modern Warfare 2 with early access, showing that nobody is protected by the developers amid cheating accusations.
