SicK hasn't released any statement after he received the ban on Twitch

Hunter 'SicK' Mims, a player for the Sentinels in Valorant, has been banned from Twitch after exhibiting "erratic" behavior on the platform, according to his former teammate ShahZaM. This comes after Mims' return to streaming and his second arrest for criminal trespassing.

Mims' first arrest was unexpected and led to changes in the Sentinels' Valorant roster. However, it also raised concerns among his fans about his mental state. Since then, Mims' behavior on Twitch has been described as "erratic," resulting in his recent ban from the platform.

Twitch bans SicK

Although the cause of SicK's ban remains unknown, those keeping track of his situation believe it is connected to his recent conduct on social media and during streams. Many notable individuals in the Valorant community, including professional players, have requested that SicK's followers refrain from sharing clips of his on-stream behavior. They argue that his actions are not consistent with his usual demeanor and that sharing such content could be harmful to his well-being.

However, despite the growing concern from his fans, SicK has continued to stream frequently and share updates on his Twitter account, including details of his recent purchases. In response to his posts, his followers have expressed confusion and worry about his well-being.

One of the tweets mentioned the purchase of new vehicles, while another alluded to his bank account being frozen. Additionally, SicK has shared images of drug paraphernalia, which has only served to heighten concerns among his followers about his current state.

As of now, SicK has not commented on the ban issued by Twitch, leaving his followers uncertain about its nature and duration. It remains to be seen whether the ban is temporary or permanent.

'No Twitch needed to ban him'

After his release following a second arrest, the former Valorant player wasted no time resuming his streaming activities. However, his behavior on stream and his tweets since then have been described as 'erratic' by his peers. As a result, he has been banned from Twitch. Fans took to social media to address this news.

One user wrote, "so let me get this straight. i say i hate men on twitch chat, i get a 2 week ban. sick says multiple racial slurs including the n and r word and he gets a week? like @TwitchSupport how does that make any logical sense…" Another user asked, "When is getting ban from @Twitter after @Twitch ban ?" Another user stated the reason why SicK should be banned, "He was spamming the N word in chat and more. No twitch needed to ban him."
