Community divided"},"content":{"rendered":"

Shortly after Jay “Sinatraa” Won announced his intention to revive his professional career<\/a> as a Valorant player, the community split itself between those that celebrated the return of an undoubtedly skilled player, and those unwilling to let someone who tampered with an official investigation<\/a> of sexual misconduct allegations return as if nothing had happened.<\/p>\n

Sinatraa’s original six-month suspension<\/a> issued by Riot Games after the former Sentinels pro failed to cooperate with an internal investigation by misrepresenting facts and making false statements ended in September 2021. Days later, his ex-girlfriend Cleo “Cle0h” Hernandez debunked rumours<\/a> of her dropping charges against Sinatraa that would have put an end to a police investigation into the accusations.<\/p>\n

With no new information about the case, Sinatraa’s return to competitive Valorant isn’t favoured by many people within the scene. Despite this, a huge portion of the esports community has defended the 22-year-old, as they believe he has served his time and is due for a comeback.<\/p>\n

Is Sinatraa returning to pro Valorant good?<\/h2>\n
