Understanding what professional Valorant pro SicK did that ended up getting him arrested

SicK is one of the most well-known personalities in the esports sphere and is currently playing for the top-ranked Valorant team, Sentinels. Before playing the Riot Games-developed fast-paced shooter, Hunter played Counter-Strike: Global Offensive.

The 24-year-old personality was recently shrouded in controversy as he was denied entry to the VCT (Valorant Champions Tour) Lock//In Sao Paulo. He took to Twitter to share his sentiments about the situation, claiming that Riot Games and his management had let him down "big time." He wrote:

"No more until I stream but (the) last thing I will say is this. Riot and my own management let me down big time. Even my own people did, people I thought I could trust. Will explain the situation clearly when I go live. Very disrespectful is almost putting it lightly. I will not allow myself to be treated this way, thank you guys."

Just a week after the social media update, it was revealed that Hunter had been arrested on March 4, 2023. According to Collin County's website, the North American gamer was charged with criminal trespassing:
