CS:GO's Overwatch is an in-game system for assessing and analyzing game demos, which allows the community to detect unscrupulous players. Within this system, complaints about violations of the game's rules, including the use of cheats, are considered, while violators detected by multiple users get their access to matchmaking blocked.
