Today, an interesting event took place in the professional Valorant scene. The in-game leader and captain of the Indonesian team Rex Regum Qeon, David "xffero" Monangin, received a permanent ban on his gaming account.
In his official Twitter account, xffero shared an image he received when logging into the game client last night. The image displayed an unpleasant message, stating that David's account had been permanently blocked due to the use of unauthorized third-party software.
Your account is permanently blocked due to the use of prohibited third-party software. This behavior harms our community and the competitiveness of the game. This action will not be reversed. Learn more about third-party software.
David "xffero" Monangin claims that his account was hacked, which led to the ban. His followers and fans in the comments support the esports athlete, with some stating they have experienced similar situations. However, there's a kind of "opposition" in the comments, asserting that David deserved the ban and that the hacking story is a lie. One comment suggests that the professional used Arduino (an open platform for creating electronics) and requests that his account not be unblocked.
As of now, neither Riot Games nor representatives of Valorant Vanguard have responded to requests for assistance, making it interesting to follow the situation. Ordinary players usually don't receive help or account unblocking, but considering xffero's prominence in the Valorant competitive scene, it's possible that his case might be reconsidered, and his account eventually restored.
