Majors and Vac Bans
I'm just wondering if you were to get a VAC ban in a game would you be allowed to play a Major Tournament in another game?
For example lets say you got VAC banned in TF2 or Left 4 Dead 2, would you be allowed to participate in a CS:GO Valve-sponsored Major?

No. Besides people who really have a chance in those tournaments don't use stuff in other games... cheats are for losers

Yet pro players have been VAC banned. Anyway...

This question was asked earlier and the answer was to check the terms and conditions for the particular tournament.

BUT it would be perfectly reasonable for Valve’s zero tolerance approach to cheating to lead them to exclude all VAC banned players from tournaments that they run, regardless of what they were banned in or for.

Yes. You can have VAC bans in other games and still play in the majors (several pros have VAC bans in CS:S) I forget which French pro players, Happy I believe, possibly someone else.

I think this sounds about right. I did some research and s1mple got banned in a previous version of CS but not in CS:GO. I was wondering why Jampii a finnish player couldn't play but he was banned, even if falsely, in CS:GO

People on these forums could not answer that question, as false as it is...
