Sentinel player SicK banned on Twitch

Hunter “SicK” Mims, the professional Valorant player for the Sentinels who has recently gained attention for his erratic behavior online, has recently been banned from Twitch.

Hunter “SicK” Mims, a seasoned Valorant player who once played for the Sentinels, has run into issues once more. This is the first time the Valorant professional has been barred from the Amazon-owned platform, according to the Streamerbans bot on Twitter. Although the news may have disappointed the player’s devoted fans, it is hardly surprising given how SicK has been behaving lately on social media.

His Twitter posts have drawn a lot of scrutiny, some of it possibly unwarranted, as he disclosed alarming details about recent purchases, problems with his bank account, and references to products related to drugs. Hunter has not been in a stable mental state for the previous few weeks, according to statements made by his teammates and close friends.

His online behavior has only become worse since his arrest last month. Many fans were speculating about a range of potential causes for his behavior and there were growing concerns about it among the professional Valorant players as well. Several members of the community believe that the suspension was needed to stop the Sentinels player from doing more harm as the chat has been encouraging him to say and do inappropriate things. Shahzeb “ShahZaM” Khan, former Sentinel player and SicK’s fellow teammate recently addressed the situation and made an appeal for tolerance towards SicK’s erratic behavior since he has been dealing with personal issues.

Why did SicK get banned?

Although the specific reason for SicK’s suspension from Twitch has not been disclosed, it is widely speculated that his recent behavior on stream and social media likely played a role in this decision. He has drawn a lot of attention yesterday when a tweet he posted with the n-word went viral. Many viewers who responded to it also noted that the streamer had been using similar language in the Twitch chat. As of now, SicK has not provided an explanation for his platform suspension.

After being suspended, SicK has continued to stream as usual and has remained silent about his position. The term of SicK’s Twitch suspension is unknown, but given that it is his first, fans can expect his return soon. Sentinels have refrained from commenting on SicK since his subsequent arrest, leaving uncertainty regarding his future with the team as well.
