"Might have to sue Twitch": Controversial Valorant streamer SicK moves to Kick after getting banned again

Hunter "SicK" appears to have been banned once again from Twitch, and this time the controversial Valorant streamer has not only threatened to sue the platform but has also actively started streaming on Kick. Hunter expressed concern over being banned once again from the Amazon-owned platform after getting suspended earlier this month following some problematic statements in Twitch chat.

While the previous ban was due to a clear-cut reason, it appears that this time he has no idea what he did. In a tweet he made a couple of hours after the ban, SicK revealed that the suspension was to last for two weeks. He also made it clear that he has no intention of not streaming during that time and was willing to sue the company:

"I genuinely did nothing wrong this time. I'm not going to take a two week ban, might have to sue Twitch if it stays this way."

In a subsequent tweet in that very same thread, SicK also revealed his plans for moving his stream to Kick if the issue was not resolved, and he also reiterated his claim that the ban was unjustified.

"Kick is amazing, Twitch support is useless": SicK joins the list of banned Twitch streamers moving to Kick

For those out of the loop, the Valorant streamer has been turning a lot of heads in recent months after he started displaying signs of erratic behavior online earlier this year that has been described as "manic" by viewers. Former teammates and friends have also talked about SicK's seeming mental instability, with G2's ShahZaM asking people to disregard his recent comments because he is not himself.

Fans will also remember that the Sentinels player was arrested last month and charged with criminal trespass at a car dealership in Texas.

SicK was handed his first suspension from Twitch on May 12 after screenshots of him saying the n-word emerged on social media. Within a week of getting unbanned, however, he received yet another suspension that prompted him to begin streaming on Kick.

In a tweet after his first stream, the streamer praised the Stake-owned platform and called his fans to join the stream:

"KICK IS AN AMAZING PLATFORM! I'M ENJOYING MY TIME HERE COME CHECK IT OUT. I PROMISE YOU WON'T WANT TO MISS THIS!!!"

In the same thread, he also took a dig at Twitch support, once again writing that he will take legal action against the platform:

"TWITCH SUPPORT IS USELESS I'LL GET MY LAWYER ON THE CASE"

This is not the first time that a streamer banned from Twitch has started streaming on Kick, a platform that has been accused time and time again of not having a robust moderation policy. After all, Kick's most popular streamer Adin Ross himself has made a name for himself by getting embroiled in one controversy after another ever since he moved exclusively to the platform after getting an indefinite ban from Twitch.
