Can i know details about my VAC/GAME ban?
I received one game ban, and later one vac ban, i want know details about these bans, it is possible? OBS: I believe I was banned for a valve error, because i never used external software to play competitive matches, im just smurfing (im global, lvl 10 faceit and rank A in ESEA).

Click the "info" link next to the ban notice on your profile for details about your ban.

If you had a game ban that was later changed to a VAC ban, this means that two separate independant anti-cheat systems that work in different ways both found evidence of cheating on your account. The chances of both of these being incorrect is almost infinitely small.

Edit: interesting that someone who claims not to cheat should want to be a member of groups named "cheater", "iCheat" and "-LegitCheating.dll"

it's called sarcasm. Are you really judging me by joining public groups? The purpose of this account was to irritate the cheaters calling me a cheater (but i dont).

VAC has detected a known cheat and has banned the account. If a VAC ban was incorrectly issued, it will be automatically removed at a later time. Otherwise, it's permanent and there's nothing you, or anyone here, can do about it. This isn't a ban appeal forum and Steam Support doesn't remove any VAC ban as well.

{LINK REMOVED} (RivaTunner, MSI Afterburner, Logitech Software, Vibrance GUI, Google Chrome and Discord).

I do not want the ban to be removed, I just want to know the details of the ban, because I'm not using cheat, I wonder if it was some other application on my computer that caused this to occur in addition to the overwatch (prefiring all angles etc...)

Why you posting this in a user forum? No Valve here.

VAC bans are permanent, non-negotiable, and cannot be removed by Steam Support.

It's all the purpose of the VAC to not let the cheaters know what is detected and caused the ban, so no. And like Slater said, being banned by two different anti-cheat system is most likely not a false-positive.

The reason for my ban could only have been one: to be found guilty by Overwatch (by users, not by the valve) and after that the valve detects some strange software during the execution of CS: GO, which in this case can only be one of the softwares quoted by me in the post (google chrome, discord, riva tunner, afterburner msi, vibrance gui or logitech software) and executed the ban. I would like to know which one it would be.

That information is not disclosed for obvious security and concept integrity reasons. Whatever was used was already known to VAC as a recognised cheat.

A game ban is an overwatch conviction and a VAC ban is an automated cheat detection system. If you were caught by both anti-cheats, that is beyond conclusive and it is assumed the end-user knows exactly why they are banned anyway.
