Competitive integrity is an important part of esports. If someone is cheating, they don’t just invalidate their own achievements, but also those of their teammates. And even respected pro players on top teams have risked it all by turning to hacks to improve their performance.
But it would be nearly impossible to follow through on cheating allegations without some sort of detection system, and Valve Anti-Cheat — or VAC — is exactly that.

Here is the truth, i cheat for straight 3 years and didnt get banned, on Valve platform, in tournaments, in BC, in ranked games. That much about your VAC.
I was using cheat engine to spoof my steam download speed, forgot to close it and unhook from the steam downloader and got vacced from tf2
????
I have a VAC ban because my 12 year old self decided to hack unturned ?
how was the VACcening not called the VACcination. Lost opportunity
Wtf veteran affairs Canada lol get that shit out of here ???
I got vacced because my account got scammed
XD rip my csgo skins
vac ( F**K)
In other words theres no anti cheat in cs go
id butter you so hard daddy <3
Hey! I have 11 fingers!
I hope flusha not cheat
well to be honest most of Biggest pro player when they stoped to have some weird locks thru the walls they become really useless players French,Swedish scene are just easy example of this.
I think you are GeT_RiGhT brother
You actually look like gla1ve but wider and definitely your head doesn't look like an egg
VAC is ridiculously easy to disable. Has been since 2011.
"Fuck off means FUCK. OFF."
My sides
VAC – Valve's Answer to Cheating.
The number 1 thing in the forums are “I got VAC ban for no reason?”
Flusha from Fnatic has obvious cheats based on several clips. He only didnt get banned because he cried about the vac hysteria
Only pro I've ever thought was cheating was flusha. Some of his mouse movements were fishy, imho.
So nothing on all the people VAC banned that werent cheating and proved it by showing the flaws in the program systems and how at one point VAC banned every player who played CSGO and got a wallbang at 1 point?
Now use VAC on Apex 🙂
but VAC cant identify cheats in csgo today
I got a VACation in team fortress 2
Haha. He said he’s soarry
I got global in Wingman from like DMG bc they overcorrected so hard when they banned my opponents UwU
Csgo right now gold and mg is hackers only
That kid though
You are get right
I was just about to say u looked like get_right…
as someone yesterday in my server were using spinbot aimbot and walls hmmmmmm
VAC is a worthless system though. I hacked in CSGO on my first account (I was 14 and stressed because of the amount of cheaters, sue me :P). I took Valve more then 14 days to ban me. 14 DAYS!. So trust me when there is a good chance of running into hackers. Also I got a VAC ban on Rust. Funny thing about it: I did not play Rust for 3 months, my account confirmed this. I never cheated in rust, hell I hardly play it. So i send an email to valve. Their response in a nutshell: If you got a VAC ban, you cheated. Ok then -__-. I am assuming this was my recording software, or monitoring software (gpu, cpu etc.). But valve does not care about that. It is a broken system that has poor detection and is left without control.
Cuckly?
I remember punkbuster…. terrible piece of software
Wait wait waittttttt 1 in 216 chances of dating a millionaire? Is that like correct cause those odds seem pretty good hang on one second (literally about to fact check this,) and omegalul that kid writing as a dad that’s just a weak effort lmao
Baby don't hurt me
You are get_right
"Dream Hack"
Yeah Cheaters Dream Hack is EZFrags
"hacks to improve their performances" the thing is that they don't have performances
vac is the biggest joke in gaming history, they should have just used logic and beat the cheaters with logic, or hardware id bans. wana hear example? playing on prime would means u must level up account to 100, all accounts will start from level 0 after update, none prime matches will be free for all, but to play prime u will need 3 months of hardcore play to reach that 100 level, it will demolish every fucking cheater, no cheater will work so hard to level an account for 3 fucking months to just get banned on the way and start over Lol or just after reaching that point. is no worth it at all. it will clean prime from cheaters period. simple fucking LOGIC<! if i can do it why valve cant? BECAUSE THEY ARE FUCKERS THAT GET MONEY FROM PRIME ACCOUNTS WHICH CHEATERS REBUY!
