Arsenal's Gabriel Jesus Faces an Unexpected Obstacle in Counter-Strike

Arsenal striker Gabriel Jesus recently encountered an unexpected hurdle in his gaming endeavors. On Monday, he took to Twitter to address a “VAC ban” that he believes was mistakenly imposed on him.

According to Jesus’s tweet, the ban was implemented on Sunday, possibly while he was recuperating from Arsenal’s triumphant 5-0 victory over Crystal Palace the day before.

Further investigation into Jesus’s Steam profile reveals that the ban was issued by Valve, the creators of the game. Interestingly, it was discovered that Jesus had spent a considerable $38,000 on downloadable content (DLC) for the game. Now, unless he receives the necessary assistance from the game’s developers, all that money could go to waste.

While Counter-Strike 2 has received mixed reviews in different markets, it has gained significant popularity in Jesus’s home country, Brazil. Notably, Jesus has even live-streamed gameplay on Twitch, often playing alongside his compatriot Neymar.

Regrettably, Gabriel Jesus now faces even greater challenges on the football field with Arsenal, as the team struggles to overcome a slump in form that jeopardizes their title aspirations. The victory against Crystal Palace on Saturday was their first win in over a month, and they now find themselves trailing league leaders Liverpool by five points.

Arsenal will resume their Premier League campaign on Tuesday evening with an away match against Nottingham Forest.
