North American organization Sentinels has acquired a new sixth player for its VALORANT <\/em>roster following the temporary suspension of Hunter \u201cSicK\u201d Mims, multiple sources told Dot Esports.\u00a0<\/p>
Sentinels has signed former OpTic player, once dubbed the best controller in the world, Jimmy \u201cMarved\u201d Nguyen to its VALORANT <\/em>roster, according to sources. Marved will replace SicK following Mims’ arrest for criminal trespassing<\/a> on March 4 and reported<\/a> by Dot Esports two days later.<\/p>
On March 6, SicK was handed a temporary suspension by Sentinels<\/a>. Mims was charged with a Class B Misdemeanor and held on bond for $5,000. He is currently being held at Collin County jail in Dallas, Texas.<\/p>
The decision to acquire a new sixth player for the roster was later confirmed by Sentinels CEO Rob Moore on Twitter. \u201cOur goal is to support Hunter during this difficult moment. However, due to the upcoming start of the franchise league, we will be looking to sign a sixth man that is able to take up the spot he\u2019s left vacant for the time being,\u201d Moore said<\/a>.<\/p>
