no he didnt, he got a six month suspension that ended in 2021, he never got banned and he has been able to compete since then
i know factually information isn't sinatra fan's strong suit but lets use our brains just a little bit
Yeah and then he tried to return with SEN in 2022 or so, but Riot did another "investigation" and said that Sinatraa didn't complete his training or some other bullshit.

so he didnt comply with the conditions of his suspension, and somehow thats riots' fault???
Sinatraa posted an email from Riot saying that he finished the required training, but after the email was posted, Riot reversed their stance and said that Sinatraa didn't complete the required training.
It was a bunch of bullshit by Riot saying, "Yes you can play pro, just kidding you can't play pro."
if riot says you have to do something to play pro and you choose not to do it that is not riot "blackballing" you
More information here:
In April 2022, Riot Games reversed a decision allowing Jay "sinatraa" Won to return to Valorant after an incorrect email suggested he bypassed mandatory professional conduct training. This followed uproar regarding his previous 6-month suspension for failing to cooperate with a sexual assault investigation, which included lying to officials.
Key Details of the Riot Games Email Controversy:
-
The Erroneous Email: Sinatraa shared a screenshot of an email from Riot indicating he was cleared to compete in the Valorant Champions Tour (VCT) without completing the mandated training.
-
Riot's Correction: Following backlash, Riot’s President of Esports, John Needham, stated the email was sent in error and mandated that Sinatraa complete the required training, reinforcing the original suspension terms.
Sinatraa was never going to return to the pro scene
He got a 6 month suspension cuz he didnt coperate with riot (well within his rights)
Sinatraa was supposed to come back to SEN two years ago, but once word spread, Riot put an end to it. He's been effectively blackballed by Riot since then, and Riot will never release a statement for him like they did for Flor.
I mean it was kind of his own fault that he couldn't come back, like had he just complied with the riot investigation the result probably would have been the same as with Flor.
I wasn't really saying he was banned, I was more saying that it was his own fault that he got blacklisted because he didn't comply with the riot investigation which kind of destroyed any chance he had at coming back compared to flor who some tier 2 or GC teams might consider picking up.
