Most prominent of them all is the Korean player who goes by “lmyourfather”. A character specialist who is generally regarded as the country’s best Lee Chaolan player throughout the series, he has said on Twitter that he was hit by a seven-day ban. It comes, as you’d expect, with the claim that he doesn’t use any form of cheats.
— Ham (@lmyourfather_) August 3, 2021 Tekken 7 producer Michael Murray has defended the bans with the justification that they were done using play data collected from servers, which were then reviewed by multiple people. Unfortunately, he also says that he cannot comment on individual cases, so the reason behind the banning of “lmyourfather” remains a mystery. But community members were quick to point out that two prominent cheaters, one known as Fariborz and another called OkSavingsBank, were left unscathed.

The latter was also believed to be a victim of the ban wave, but later clarified that he wasn’t. Overall, the ban wave was a confusing one. Incidentally, it also comes just a couple of days before EVO 2021, the biggest fighting game tournament in any given year.
