Posted November 20, 2014 http://www.hltv.org/news/13636-kqly-handed-vac-ban This is big. For those who don't know KQLY the french star player for Titan esports, a top 8 in the world team, was today VAC banned. Not only does this greatly damage the Titan organization's reputation but it possibly ruins the remaining team members for qualifying for the next Major later this month(Dreamhack requires 3 out of 5 members to have passed the qualification process which in this case was making it out of the group stages for the last major). Currently Titan only have 2 out of 3 players on their roster who qualify. This means in order to qualify they must recruit a player who made it out of groups. The only player I can think of in France who isn't in a team and made it out of the groups is fxy0 who is currently not on a team(but has a reputation to be a very bad teammate). But back focusing on the scene as a whole this actually goes for what German player smn said earlier this month when HE was VAC banned. smn claimed many top tier players did cheat themselves and he claimed he knew names. If what he said is true then the CS scene could be in for a bumpy ride in the very near future. The actual list of players accused by smn is as follows: pytholofmeisterkrimzrallenKQLYKioshimaApexJWVirtus.pro (I don't know the players) Several german players EDIT: SF from Epsilon got banned D: "If you do not take your failures seriously you will continue to fail" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted November 20, 2014 So why did he get banned? I'm at school and can't go to the link. Someone told Luke and Linus at CES 2017 to "Unban the legend known as Jerakl" and that's about all I've got going for me. (It didn't work) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted November 20, 2014 Everyone seen it coming. Hes been on the radar for awhile. Its nice to see these cheaters getting banned. But sad thing is it wont stop others. New cheats will come and more players will get banned. Rinse and repeat. It comes down to an article I read the other day they have to start having LAN qualifiers for majors. This online shit where they can freely hack to get into the big tournaments has to stop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a feeling it was a hard to see ESP hack like Delpan used in 1.6.

Posted November 21, 2014 JW will be next. And Kisohimo emptied his csgo inventory, so he knows what's coming. It's good to have a purge. It's actually shaking the entire scene and I hope after getting more of them VAC, it will become cleaner "Strength does not come from winning. Your struggles develop your strengths.

But Valve or ESEA can acces to history and therefore, look and search before this date. So, kind of useless to try that, and much more pathetic imo "Strength does not come from winning.

Posted November 21, 2014 kio's twitter got hacked, so I wouldn't be surprised if the steam was hacked as well But I think it sucks that all these players are being banned. Of course, if they are hacking they should be banned, but if they aren't, and there is no proof, they shouldn't be banned.

Of course, if they are hacking they should be banned, but if they aren't, and there is no proof, they shouldn't be banned. It wasn't hacked. It's a fake hacked so if he get VACbanned, he can give a good justification. The probleme is VAC doesn't BAn on the spot, but usually quite a bit after. And if your twitter is hacked, you can change Steam email and password, no need to empty only your csgo inventory. Also, if he lose his inventory from hack, I guess Valve would do something about it since skins is a great promo for them. "Strength does not come from winning. Your struggles develop your strengths.

Posted November 21, 2014 UPDATE: KQLY made a facebook confession https://www.facebook.com/KQLYY/posts/663241367127259 Rough translation from the FB comment section: As you may have seen yesterday, I was banned by VAC and unfortunately it was justified.I wanted to say that I am really sorry for all the people who supported me, I am aware that with my bullshit, my career is now over and my team in a very bad position. They did not deserve it. End of August, it put me in contact with a program supex0 (he had solid arguments and explained to me that many players pros used its program). I me y am interested curiosity. He put me on rights for 7 days, and as a con, the temptation was too great and I wanted to see what it gave on public servers and MM.Subsequently I did not continue to use it, I'd just join Titan and I didn't need to take unnecessary risk while I had all that I needed: a high-level team, a solid structure... My curiosity made me default and today my CS career is finished after 12 years spent on the game.I lost everything and I don't expect any compassion, I made a bullshit and I'm going to assume it. Unfortunately everything stops here and once again, I am really sorry to have disappointed.

Posted November 22, 2014 It's sad. Hackers should be banned, but this may somewhat set back CSGO as a competetive community, if not totally kill it Rumors are that a lot of the pros are using the hacks, I believe SMN gave out a list of who he thought/knew hacked - i am not sure about that though, mostly rumors and speculation CPU: I7 4790K(4.6@1.252v) Case: Fractal Design Define R5 Windowed(Black) Cooler: CM 212 EVO + NF F12 iPPC RAM: HyperX Fury 1600MHZ CL10 2x4GB Storage: Samsung 850 EVO(250GB) + WD Red(2TB) PSU: Corsair RM750 (and no, it hasn't blown up!)

Posted November 22, 2014 You are right, but the rumored scale, that about 40 percent of all pros being hackers is just really bad.
