What's a "VACation"?
I've seen the phrase being used a lot and I still have no idea what it is.

If you get VAC banned you go on VACation.

Never heard that term, but I assume that means being the (un)lucky recipient of a VAC ban. In which case, it would mean that you won't be seeing that person in game again.

When someone gets banned by VAC for cheating in a VAC protected game.

The guys over in the CS forum came up with it a few months back, when someone, who probably is every important and famous to the CS community, that was a professional of one of those many pointless teams that run around, and only ultra nerds know the names of, got VAC banned.

A horrible time for the CS E-sport scene... one of their 'athletes' was found doping (aimbotting) and thus VAC banned. So people started making videos about this guy, whatever his name was.

VACation means VAC bans players for using their cheating or hacking in competive. Since the CSGO has becoming popular and most of players were doing competive, except the cheater who tried to win the game, instead they received their VAC ban.
