Though Sentinels couldn't qualify for Valorant Champions 2022, Zellsis had a great run in the VCT NA LCQ and a few days after that, he shared massive news on 17th August, that mentioned that he was banned from Twitch.
It was a shock for all the fans and Zellsis himself as he quoted, "WHAT THE FUCK?" while sharing the news of him getting banned.

At first, he didn't know why did that happen as when Jake Lucky asked him about what he did, he answered, "nothing jake, i think i said fuck it and got twitch banned, please help me i dont know anyone at twitch."

However, he received the official email from Twitch that confirmed that he got banned for "hateful slurs or symbol" and Zellsis denied the claim made by the email.
He said, "I assume it was for saying fuck it and twitch took it as me saying the other F word, just like shanks/prod."
I got banned for "hateful slurs or symbol" so I assume it was for saying fuck it and twitch took it as me saying the other F word, just like shanks/prod. It wasn't cause I was shirtless or streaming anime. #FreeZellsis

Some people thought maybe it was because he was shirtless or streaming Anime; however, Zellsis clarified that the ban didn't happen because of that.
You can watch the clip shared by him which according to him might be the reason for the ban.
