SumaiL receives lifetime ban from Valve: what happened

Saeed Sumail "SumaiL" Hassan, a player for Nigma Galaxy, unexpectedly received a lifetime VAC ban from Valve in CS2, despite not having played the game for several months.

He posted a screenshot confirming the account ban on his X (Twitter) page.

"I haven't even played CS2 for several months, help me, Valve"

The esports athlete claims he hasn't launched the game for months and doesn't understand what could have led to the ban or why his account was blocked. He has reached out to Valve for clarification on the issue. It is possible that his account might have been hacked or there was a glitch, so developers may soon lift the ban.

It should be noted that Valve has not yet commented on the situation. It is possible that an investigation is currently underway.

Later, users speculated that the esports player's ban was related to the launch of Valve's new anti-cheat system, which the developers decided to implement in CS2 to combat cheaters.

Previously, players complained about critical issues in the Dota 2 ladder and asked Valve to investigate to ban the culprits.
