If he gets hit with ESIC ban, would he go to valorant?
he probably wouldn't get picked up for another big team i think if anything he will just retire from esports
ofc not valorant is dead in DK and almost in eu aswell compared to in cs.
If they get banned, they will play low tier tournaments for that 1 year and wait for major.
true, there are more tier 2/3 cs tournament in EU compared to tier 1 valorant tournament. they got at least 1/2 tournament a month with bigger prize pool obviously
babybay has been banned mid game in CS lol
also patitek, agm, em1lshein, tucks all vac/faceit banned. couple others too but when they were under 16, like texta and sayf
probably a lot more but they were irrelevant before val so i dont know if they have been banned
can someone explain the logic behind being young and cheating, while also being good at the game? i dont understand. you have a talent millions would want to possess, you shit on most players, you have recognized that talent, yet you decide to cheat? i need to know
I assume that the logic behind cheating is the same as why most Olympians do doping : they are highly competitive, hard- working and talented people who are beginning to fall behind or might have hit a plateau, so they need an edge?
(Side note, most people at Olympics get away with doping because it is easy to fool the anti-doping tests)
they need that little extra to push them from being good to great i guess.
frustration/desperation. they were good but all the ones i listed were semi-pro or well known puggers at best when they were banned, and i guess they wanted to take that next step in their careers but didnt really think about the consequences of their actions. kids are just stupid, texta was 13 when he was vac banned and then became probably the biggest upcoming talent in AU CS, presumably legitimately lol. cant really blame a 13 year old for making rash decisions
probably some cheat to be better but some probably made that decision before they were grown up enough and that comes back to bite in their ass.
in the jamppi story. dude had a vac banned account when he was 14. and it wasn't banned before he gave it to his friend but that ban resulted in his cs career getting cut short. he was doing good without hacks and valve banned him from pro play for something he did when he was 14 and allegedly he didn't even do it.
he threw for money, he didnt "cheat". cheating would be like babybay using aimbot, esp and triggerbots shit like that.
No, ESIC works with riot too, it wouldn't make a difference. Also, he is not washed at all so he wouldn't fit in Valorant.
Valorant is home for Washed pros a lot accused for Cheating / Matchfixing / even some real life shit.
so wont be surprised.
