Why are you banned: I hit the escape button during a countdown. I went to the loading screen but then as soon as the game started, I see the endgame scoreboard
Why you should be unbanned: I must have hit the escape button too near to the countdown being over. I was tabbed and forgot I was in a game lobby because it was taking a while to fill. When I remembered that I was in the game still I tabbed back in and saw a countdown. I didnt want to playu so I hit ESC fast and I guess it kicked me out but not until after the game sent me to the load screen. I am definitely going to be more mindful of this in the future.

Good stay % and I definitely know how you feel. Next time, make sure you hit ESC and end up in a WC3 lobby and not in the game still because sometimes if you hit ESC and alt tab, the game won't recognize that you hit ESC to leave the game during the countdown.

Unbanned this time but be aware of it in the future to prevent it from happening.
