This is absolutely unacceptable - frankly Blizzard should be ashamed.

Just another number caught up in Blizzardā€™s ban wrath whether innocent or guilty.

Dave is my role model, hope he gets unbanned

Some people really do wacky stuff and it wonā€™t fly in a competitive mode. Some just hate the stress in competitive;

Iā€™m the same way, I only do placements each season then straight back to mainly quickplay and QPC

I more meant like

Do you REALLY expect someone to spend over 4 years playing mostly QP and then after getting level 11000 itā€™s like ā€œYupp, time to cheat in QP!ā€

Yeah seriously lolā€¦
I heard he got autobanned for 3rd party programs being detected, which is just a rumor, but if its true, anything couldā€™ve set it off; a weird antivirus, a vpn, slack desktop launcher, a video wallpaper background program etc

This needs to be fixed as itā€™s completely unacceptable. Unban him! He has hours and hours of qp streams, itā€™s clear as day he isnā€™t a cheater.

Exactly and other video game companies has explained that already where other stuff can be running in the background while playing the game.

We donā€™t know the full story, so as much as I appreciate people giving him the benefit of the doubt, itā€™s fully possible that he was using software thatā€™s against the TOS.

What kind of software would a Gold player with the highest level in the game want to use you ask?

A bot, for one. If you have the highest level account in the game and you want to keep it that way, you have two options, either play an inordinate amount of time or use software to play in your stead.

Just speculation on my end of course, but considering that according to the reply he got, Blizzard has investigated the ban and confirmed it was legitimate and not an error, this explanation seems pretty likely to me.

Do you think someone who played thousands and thousands of hours for 4 years decided to cheat and get ban for it ?

I dont think so
Unless he woke up that morning losing his mind that make him cheat
