Valve lifts Fnatic star KRIMZ\u2019s mysterious CSGO VAC ban ValveValve has lifted the VAC ban on CSGO legend KRIMZ, and although fans think it was probably due to a matchmaking tool, the reasons are still unknown. The CSGO community stood still on November 28 after Freddy \u2018KRIMZ\u2019 Johansson announced he had been VAC banned. Valve never specified why, which made the situation a bit of a mystery. \u201cIt seems that my account got vac banned,\u201d he said. \u201cCSGO can you fix this asap pls.\u201d It sounded like he was probably more confused than anyone else and was adamant he\u2019d done nothing wrong. It seems that my account got vac banned. @CSGO can you fix this asap pls \ud83d\ude4f\ud83e\udd14 \u2014 Freddy Johansson (@Krimz) November 28, 2020 CSGO fans think he might have been banned for using a third-party tool named esportal to find matches. However, there has been no official word to support it. FNATIC coach Andreas \u201cSamuelsson\u201d Samuelsson issued a statement not long after. \u201cWe have reached out to Valve, TOs, and third-party community websites\u2026 to understand the nature of this unexpected shutdown,\u201d he said. \u201cWe have no reason to believe this is the consequence of any intentional use of any illegal program.\u201d About Krimz VAC banned account. pic.twitter.com\/ztEwun6Q0q \u2014 Andreas Samuelsson (@SamuelssonCSGO) November 28, 2020 Either way, it didn\u2019t take Valve long to rectify the issue. They\u2019ve already lifted the ban, and it\u2019s been a huge relief to CSGO players and FNATIC fans around the world.

His fans have been pouring in and leaving comments to celebrate and share their relief. Still, nobody is more excited than the man himself. KRIMZ made a brief statement on Twitter and expressed his gratitude for having it fixed. \u201cI\u2019m free [motherf**ers], he said. \u201cThank you CSGO for sorting it out quickly.\u201d Interestingly, Valve still hasn\u2019t explained why they banned KRIMMZ in the first place. KRIMMZ hasn\u2019t elaborated on it either. In the end, though, the key takeaway is that it appears to have been a mistake. The CSGO community is thrilled to have its favorite son back.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
