Pretty suspect about these numbers, given that before this ban wave about 78% of the steam player count for TF2 was bots (source). So this wouldn't be a doubling of human players, but about a 10x increase. It's possible... But to me this looks like a bunch more bots being spun up and evading the new ban measures.

As someone who has played casual the past few days, it is now hard to run into bots in games so i believe the player count; tho idk how long it will last/who knows when the bots would be back
