Am I allowed to play Valve sponsored tournaments while being VAC Banned on a non valve game?

[memPHis]

With Jamppi being banned from valve tournaments because of a CS vac ban that was issued many years ago, and other famous players from the scene that had been allowed to compete in CS tournaments while having cheated in the past (s1mple, Happy)

Its not really clear for me whether I would be allowed to compete in Valve sponsored events having a VAC ban in MW2. Am I able to play in Minors and Majors?

Are you banned in that game?

Can you play competitive games right now on it?

If the answer is yes and no, then the answer will obviously be no you cannot compete in a tournament on the game with the ban.

I'd love to see your proof that cheating players ON THE SAME BANNED ACCOUNT were 'allowed to play'. They're not. It's either a lie or a different new account without a ban.

Jamppi cheated in CS:S when he was 12 years old in his old account, which he later sold. He created a new one, where he played CSGO professionally. Valve then banned him because they discovered he cheated in his old account. I've looked and read endlessly and have never found any statement released by valve explaining whether someone is able to play on their tournaments when they haven't cheated on the same game, or a Valve game. I have no idea if just by having a VAC ban, regardless of the game, if I would be able to compete on their tournaments.

I very much doubt Valve will allow any convicted cheaters to participate in any of their tournaments regardless of what game a ban stems from. It will not look good to sponsors and somewhat tarnish the event if they did this plus it would prevent clean and honest players from earning a spot.

Players have been blocked from competing previous just based on controversial tweets made from 7+ years ago for instance so cheating is probably held in the same standard.
