Good threads to read about what's happening behind all the pro VAC bans:

KQLY handed VAC ban

One of Titan's star players Hovik "KQLY" Tovmassian has just been banned by Valve Anti-Cheat.

In news that will undoubtedly shake the CS:GO competitive scene, minutes ago Hovik "KQLY" Tovmassian's Steam account showed 1 VAC ban on record.

After the recent ban that ESEA handed to ALTERNATE's player Simon "smn" Beck, many speculations about other top players cheating arose in the scene. This afternoon Beck himself received a VAC ban, along with Titan's player.

After winning ESWC 2013 with Clan-Mystik, Tovmassian went on to join LDLC in February this year and accomplish a top 8 placing at EMS One Katowice and a top 4 placing at ESL One Cologne.

After that along with Dan "apEX" Madesclaire and Mathieu "Maniac" Quiquerez he joined Titan's new project and soon after won DreamHack Stockholm.

The team was set to appear at the $250,000 DreamHack Winter next week, but with Tovmassian receiving the ban it is unknown whether they will be able to retain the slot as he was one of the three ex-LDLC members that brought on their invite for the event.

Don't understand why you cheat at that level. I don't understand why people should cheat at all.
He must be frustrated of being banned and cut from the team just before dreamhack with that juicy prizepool and sticker money.

Cheating is for losers ;-). Losers are for cheating.

This may just destroy CS:GO competitive gaming considering a lot of the top players have allegedly been hacking.

Depends on how many more that's gonna get hit by VAC. Im just glad it works and people get banned for their cheats. Someone else will just fill his spot. There's many good players around without a top team.

To be fair, he was an addition to Titan.

Titan will always be KennyS's team

What's up with pro players?

So, i just visited HLtv site and it's flooded with threads about pro players getting VAC banned and i noticed a lot of talk about KQLY and generally the TITAN team.
Can someone fill me in how and when these informations got revealed?
I am really concerned about the Dreamhack tournament now because the pro-scene is now on a shaking ground after what i have been reading for the past hour or so.
CS GO is pretty much the most competitive FPS game there is and i do not want to see it fall because some people thought cheating will get them too far.
