Sasha “S1mple” Kostyliev, the legendary Ukrainian\u00a0Counter-Strike: Global Offensive<\/em> player, recently began playing Riot Games’ popular title,\u00a0Valorant<\/em><\/strong>. However, upon starting his\u00a0stream of the game on March 27, he found that he was banned from participating in the game’s ranked mode.<\/p>\n

Valorant<\/em><\/a> is a competitive multiplayer FPS that has seen a lot of popularity since it was released in June of last year. Its unique mix of high-stakes tactical action and hero abilities garnered plenty of attention and fans and even saw many esports professionals switching to Valorant<\/em><\/a>. While not jumping over completely, it was big news that S1mple was playing the game on stream.<\/p>\n

Just prior to the ban, S1mple had just reached\u00a0Valorant<\/em>‘s second-highest rank, Immortal. The ban has since been lifted after S1mple got in touch with Riley Yurk,\u00a0Valorant<\/em>‘s esports strategist, who seemingly got the ban lifted for him. Neither Riot Games nor S1mple has given any official word on the nature of the ban, but it did seem to follow Valorant’s<\/em> toxic chat punishments<\/a>\u00a0introduced in Patch 2.05.<\/p>\n
