Nikhil 'forsaken' Kumawat has completed his five-year ban for using cheating software in CS tournaments and is now eligible to compete in Major events. His ban from the Esports Integrity Coalition (ESIC) ended in 2023, but he remained barred from Valve events until September 19, 2024, due to changes in tournament guidelines.

Forsaken gained notoriety for cheating at the eXTREMESLAND Asia Finals on October 14, 2018. His PC was flagged by anti-cheat software, revealing a program running in the background. In a widely circulated video, he attempted to delete the program, misnamed “word.exe,” while officials were present. As a result, the OpTic India team was disqualified, forsaken was fired, and the team subsequently disbanded.

After the incident, forsaken expressed regret about his actions and mentioned he wished he had never played the game. Since 2018, he has not engaged with the esports community or indicated plans to return. However, he is now theoretically eligible to participate in CS2 tournaments if he chooses to do so.
