Valve has reworked the new Overwatch for training. Instead of separate short clips, they now provide a selection of moments from the entire match. There is no longer a need to specify the type of cheat. Three options remain: cheating, unsure, and no signs of cheating observed. The last two only unlock after watching until the end. An obvious cheater can be flagged immediately. The system records the moment of your decision, but the rating itself doesn't ban the player. The answers are used to train VACNet.
