The Valotrant professional has reportedly been going through some personal and mental issues for some time. He also clashed publicly with Riot's management after his tweets about being denied entry to the VCT Lock//In Sao Paulo arena gained traction.

According to reports, he was charged with trespassing due to a sour interaction with an employee at a Ferrari dealership, who repeatedly asked him to leave. There has been discussion about how his recent online activity portrays his mental instability. Apparently, he was tweeting about the incident at the Ferrari dealership. According to this Twitter user, he went on to delete them after the fact:

Since then, his regular tweets have caused concern among his peers, and popular figures such as Kyedae have publicly talked about issues with Hunter. In a recent stream, when her audience asked her about the incident, she refused to reveal much, saying:

"I'm sure you guys can see SicK is not doing well and I'm not gonna kick someone down when they're not doing well and uh, I think you guys will understand the whole scope once everything is properly explained."
