Valve Adjusts VAC Ban Rulings as RMRs approach

in Counter Strike
April 16, 2021
  • Valve has announced changes to the Valve anti-cheat ban rules as a part of the regional major rankings eligibility guidelines
  • The VAC ban will now expire in five years unless the player has already participated in a sponsored event
  • The bans for other offenses such as match-fixing remain unchanged

The game company has refreshed its VAC ban system, which has long been requested.

The Revised VAC Rulings

Valve, the game company behind Counter-Strike: Global Offensive, has made an update to its regional major rankings eligibility guidelines. The update mainly focuses on the Valve anti-cheat ban or VAC ban, which usually prevents people from participating in official events because of cheating offenses.

As per the new rules, the VAC ban will expire in 5 years for regular players. However, this will not apply to people who have already participated in one or more official Valve-sponsored events (including RMR, Majors, and qualifiers). 

Here is the full official statement by Valve itself:

“Moving forward, a VAC ban will only disqualify a player from an event if it was either received less than five years prior or if it was received at any time after their first participation in a Valve-sponsored event (e.g., after participating in a qualifier for an RMR event).”

–Valve

Despite the now-established expiry limit to a VAC ban, its other effects remain unchanged. However, the current changes are welcome. The initial regional major rankings for 2021 will start in a month. With the VAC rules adjusted, many people will once again have the opportunity to participate. It will be a second chance for them to become a part of the competitive CS:GO community. 

Today we are making changes to our RMR Eligibility Guidelines regarding VAC bans: https://t.co/Ku4vADKTyu

Valve, in its turn, confirmed that now that the game’s been around for a while, such a change was much needed. The game company has yet to revise the punishments for other offenses, such as match-fixing, with which it has been in a continuous struggle. 

Fans will be able to finally see Vinicius “vsm” Moreira under the lights of a competitive tournament. The player received a VAC ban when he was an early teenager and will now be eligible to compete officially.

Another player who was talked about is Elias “Jamppi” Olkkonen. He moved to VALORANT after arduous efforts to revoke his VAC ban. With the current changes, it is within the realm of possibility to see him back in CS:GO once again.

Valve has been trying its best to be as just as possible when it comes to bans. Recently the company revoked French player Kyojin’s VAC ban after an investigation. In the light of that, it will be interesting to see if the company reacts to some of the suggestions that professional fans have recently made.
