Despite legal challenges he was unable to get the decision reversed. He did play both SJ Gaming and ENCE but the inability to ever play at a Major must have made the move to Riot&#8217;s rival Valorant an easy decision.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn-cf.ginx.tv\/imgcdn\/49D-FDbQ55azmvh_VSakynfr4BCSiznS9HU7xbL45LY\/rs:fill:0:0:1\/g:ce\/aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuZ2lueC50di91cGxvYWRzL0phbXBwaV8xLmpwZw\" alt=\"Jamppi Team Liquid\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\" loading=\"lazy\"><br \/><span style=\"font-size: 8pt;\">Jamppi&#8217;s career in CSGO was hamstrung by his VAC ban.
