Update 2: (about 9 hours later) Steam Support has reinstated my account. They said it was a one time courtesy and to beware of using any third party software. Any overwolf users, be EXTREMELY careful. As for possible smurf, they specifically mentioned the software, even so, be careful for toxic behavior with pub stomp heros, i can only assume it may be cause excessive reports from that possibly.

Update 2.1: my behavior score dropped all the way to 1 after it was reinstated, hopefully that will sort itself out as well. Update 2.2: Support fixed the behavior score

​

For posterity :

​

Today i was permanently(?!) banned from dota 2. In game client says its a VAC ban, however my account says it was a game only ban issued by the developers.

I play brood a lot but I hardly think a 56% win rate on an account with 7k hours is "smurfing".

I have the screen shots of both below. Full disclosure, ~7300 behavior score and i used overwolf but both of these seem to not result in a permanent ban. Overwolf has even been cleared by their official support.

Reached out to supports Valve and Dota 2, any help would be appreciated. just to ensure no scripting/cheating was performed, last three games replays are below as well. Dotabuff is there as well

​Update 1: Steam Support came back with boilerplate "sorry for your matchmaking ban (not a matchmaking ban, I can't even access my account in-client due to it being marked as a VAC ban), but we're not changing it response. Hoping the DOTA 2 team will review
