Getting a VAC ban overturned is not easy, with Valve typically refusing to overturn bans unless there is obvious evidence of a mistake. There is now information about why Jesus is banned from the game.
However, given his standing in the mainstream consciousness and his love of the game, it would not be surprising to see the ban overturned. Having a fan like Jesus will introduce the game to more people and likely grow its player base further.
Apart from Football, Jesus is also an avid CS2 player, His fellow countryman Neymar is also a CS2 player.
