Throughout his career, Bymas has played in several major LAN championships, so it makes no sense to accuse him of using cheats. In fact, the situation is much simpler.

Throughout December 5, VAC has been banning players for no apparent reason. Many have lost inventories worth tens of thousands of dollars. Apparently, with the new update, Valve has somewhat broken VAC, and now it is banning random players without any reason. Over two thousand accounts have already been caught in the wave of bans.

However, there's a peculiar aspect of this ban: banned players can still transfer skins. This is strange because previously VAC also imposed a ban on skins.
