Since the Covid-19 crisis, many players have been devoting themselves to new extra-sporting passions: one of the most extensive is none other than video games and the world of streaming on Twitch. Among the most played franchises, Counter-Strike 2 is one of the most popular video games in recent times and above all, the most popular among Brazilian footballers like Neymar, Casemiro but also Gabriel Jesus. However, the Arsenal player himself was the protagonist of a real misadventure. The Brazilian actually invested the staggering sum of 50,000 euros in skins in the game (including a personalized Hot Rod M4A1-S pistol at 935 euros) only to see his account deleted.
The reason ? Gabriel Jesus allegedly violated very specific rules dictated by the Counter-Strike 2 teams who judged the techniques adopted by the 26-year-old player as cheating to alter his performance in the game and therefore suspended his account. “My account has unfairly received a VAC ban, can anyone help me?”, he launched on social networks to try to restore his profile which will only be readmitted in the event of accidental banishment. In any case, the former Manchester City striker seems to be having as much trouble virtually as on the pitch this season, at a time when he has only three goals in 16 Premier League games.
