Gabriel Jesus Steam Account banned
"Hi @counterstrike my account received a VAC ban unfairly, can you help me? Follow the account link and print of the ban"
VAC and Game Ban
A VAC (Valve Anti-Cheat) ban is applied If a player is caught using cheats on their computer. Gabriel Jesus' profile indicates that he received a Game Ban. This is slightly different.
Basically, according to Steam support, "Game Bans are used by game developers to address malicious behaviour that falls outside of VAC detection. Game bans are determined by the game developer; they can range from single-day bans to permanent bans."
Valve's ban wave has marked the beginning of the year, resulting in several VAC bans. Additionally, Mario "malbsMd" Samayoa and Aurimas "Bymas" Pipiras were professional players previously hit. The reason for Gabriel Jesus' ban is not yet clear.
