No one is exempt from penalties in online video games, not even figures from the sports world. Recently, a famous footballer playing in England discovered that he had been banned in Counter-Strike 2 and wasted no time in complaining to Valve about the situation.
Gabriel Jesus, Arsenal forward, in trouble in CS:GO
Gaming brings the world together, and perhaps some CS2 players didnt realize that in some of their matches, they were teammates or rivals of forward Gabriel Jesus, who plays for Arsenal in the Premier League in England. Now, they know, as the Brazilian footballer shared a message to Valve through his official X account, asking them to lift the VAC ban from his CS2 account.
The catch is that this type of ban in Valves tactical FPS occurs when their security system detects cheating.

According to a Forbes report, Arsenals footballer, Gabriel Jesus, could lose all the skins associated with his CS2 account if Valve confirms the ban. It is revealed that the forward has skins valued at over $38,000 USD in the tactical FPS, more than $650,000 Mexican pesos, an amount understood to be due to his salary at Arsenal.
The expectation is that Valve will review the case, and if it is an error, lift the ban against Gabriel Jesus. Some believe that the company will be lenient with the footballer given his fame in the worlds most important football league, so this could turn out well for the Brazilian forward.
