Den franske stjernespiller, Hovik "KQLY" Tovmassian fra Titan, som er et af Frankrigs bedste Counter-Strike hold, har netop modtaget et VAC ban, som er Valves officielle anti-cheat system. Nyheden har allerede sendt store chokbølger gennem de sociale medier, hvor reaktionerne får frit løb.
Hovik "KQLY" Tovmassians VAC ban kommer netop på dagen, hvor den tidligere danske topspiller, Dennis "vnG" Vang, spæder til i debatten vedrørende snyd blandt topspillere og fastslår, at der i høj grad findes internationale topspillere, som snyder. En påstand som Hovik "KQLY" Tovmassian nu er et tydeligt eksempel på.
Franskmanden blev så sent som i går sat i forbindelse med snyd, da Sune "crZy" Hansen nævnte ham på en liste, der angiveligt består af topspillere, der alle har snydt.
Titan, som Hovik "KQLY" Tovmassian spiller for, har allerede givet en officiel udmelding på Facebook, hvor de meddeler, at spilleren bliver suspenderet midlertidigt fra holdet med øjeblikkelig virkning.
Dear Fans,
As of today 19:00 CET, we regret to inform you that we were forced to temporarily suspend Hovik "KQLY" Tovmassian from our active CS:GO roster.
Upon logging onto Titan’s usual scrim server, while at the training house and while using a recently formatted PC, KQLY got VAC banned and can therefore not train or practice with his official account.
We are currently in contact with Valve in order to investigate what might have caused this and we will keep you informed as the situation develops.
Stay tuned!
På det sociale medie Twitter er reaktionerne allerede strømmet ind fra flere prominente topspillere og castere samtidig med en masse Counter-Strike fans ligeledes kommenterer på VAC bannet.
Srsly..

Most people aren't even truly outraged at things they react to online, they're just addicted to judging ppl and feeling superior.

Hovik "KQLY" Tovmassians VAC ban kommer få dage efter, at tyskeren Simon "smn" Beck fra Team ALTERNATE blev smidt ud af sit hold, da han blev udelukket fra alle ESEA turneringer i et helt år på grund af snyd.
Titan bootcamper lige nu i forbindelse med sine forberedelser til Dreamhack, som er lige om hjørnet. Det var planen, at holdet skulle deltage i turneringen, hvor der er 250.000 dollars på højkant, men hvorvidt det stadig er planen, er uvist.
