One of Titan's star players Hovik "KQLY" Tovmassian has just been banned by Valve Anti-Cheat.

In news that will undoubtedly shake the CS:GO competitive scene, minutes ago Hovik "⁠KQLY⁠" Tovmassian's Steam account showed 1 VAC ban on record.

After the recent ban that ESEA handed to ALTERNATE's player Simon "⁠smn⁠" Beck, many speculations about other top players cheating arose in the scene. This afternoon smn himself received a VAC ban, along with Titan's player.



KQLY handed VAC ban

After winning ESWC 2013 with Clan-Mystik, KQLY went on to join LDLC in February this year and accomplish a top 8 placing at EMS One Katowice and a top 4 placing at ESL One Cologne.

After that along with Dan "⁠apEX⁠" Madesclaire and Mathieu "⁠Maniac⁠" Quiquerez he joined Titan's new project and soon after won DreamHack Stockholm.

The team was set to appear at the $250,000 DreamHack Winter next week, but with KQLY receiving the ban it is unknown whether they will be able to retain the slot as he was one of the three ex-LDLC members that brought on their invite for the event.
