In response to recent allegations of domestic violence, South Korean fighting game competitor Seon-woo "Infiltration" Lee has been dropped by Panda Global, the professional esports organisation that signed him in March, and will not participate in official Street Fighter V events for at least a year.
Briefly: According to Panda Global, Street Fighter V champion Seon-woo "Infiltration" Lee will not compete again until investigations into allegations of domestic violence conclude. Infiltration has been invited to play at Red Bull Kumite next month, but that appearance is now up in the air.
Seon-woo “Infiltration” Lee, a prominent South Korean Street Fighter 5 player with five Evolution Championship Series titles and countless tournament wins on his resume, will not be competing at this weekend’s Capcom Pro Tour premier event at Tokyo Game Show. His team, Panda Global, announced the decision last night as they investigate claims that Infiltration abused his ex-wife before their divorce.
That guy on the right is Lee "Infiltration" Seon Woo. You might remember him from last year's Evo Street Fighter V tournament,which he won. A veteran of the scene who's been competing since 2010 with Super Street Fighter IV, he's now housing energy drinks in-between matches to help pay the bills.
