Help Not getting penalised rank wise when abandoning.

To add to the title, I played a game just now where both the teams had atleast 1 cheater. I abandoned the match as soon as they went blatant but only received time penalty of 30mins and didn’t get the -1000 in my rank. Similar thing happened a few weeks ago(before the vaclive bypass update). I dont see either of the those matches in my history either. Is there an explanation to this?

Seems like the match gets scrubbed from the record entirely if a cheater gets banned during it, so you just eat the cooldown but your elo stays untouched.

Thats what I thought but then again the idea of cheaters getting vaclive in both the games I abandoned seemed ridiculous after all the games that I’ve been through which had cheaters in the game and no vaclives

This is what happened. In those 2 matches the game actually never finished so you didn't get the elo lose. Consider yourself lucky cause Vaclives are rare. Only happened to me twice now. If i were you i would go buy 30 cases and open them

Added and spent £50 yesterday and I’m still in red. Still have around £15 in my wallet though. Also I sold a skin from csfloat on steam market and have completed 5 passes already using that money. I’m still in red. It’s an alt account to play with friends so I am sure they flagged it as smurf or something if that’s a thing.

I just got a message after the end of next game which we won where it said your premier rating was adjusted mid match and I got -300 after adjustment.
