Kun “LEo” Hou, with 1.22 HLTV rating, used to be a rising name in the Chinese Counter-Strike. Kun “LEo” Hou was handed a VAC Ban this Saturday by Valve Anti-cheat alongside Perfect World. 5ewin, a popular matchmaking platform in China has also banned LEo for cheating. He used to play for a well-known Chinese team, Fierce Tiger. Perfect World, through it’s official Weibo handle, revealed that they would further investigate for any other misconduct.
On May 17, his side won the Chinese qualifiers for CS:GO Asia Championship 2018 by beating VG.Flash 2-0 in the best-of-three finals. Being the top seed, Fierce Tiger has been disqualified due to the VAC ban handed over to Kun “LEo” Hou. Further, he has been permanently banned from participating in any of the Perfect World or Valve-sponsored events. TyLoo, which secured third position at the CS:GO Asia Championship 2018 Chinese Qualifier is likely to replace Fierce Tiger.
Fierce Tiger is playing the Chinese Qualifier for the Asian Minor and it has already defeated ROAR 2-0 in the best-of-three semi-finals. On 20 May, Fierce Tiger was matched up against VG.Flash in the best-of-three finals for a slot at the Asian Minor. Although VG.Flash did not appear on the server due to ‘internet issues’, sources close to the team suggest that VG.Flash suspected ‘foul play’ since an unpopular player named “tbgirl” took LEo’s place in Fierce Tiger. FACEIT has already been notified about the VAC ban but necessary action hasn’t been taken by the organizers.
