The largest independent video-game tournaments in the world, it was announced to Kotaku today, have finally banned Korean Street Fighter professional Seon-Woo "Infiltration" Lee. Six-time EVO World Champion, including at least once AFTER the first major thing I'm going to list.
Why?
- 2017 domestic-violence conviction in Korea that the Fighting Game Community only found out about in 2018. All of his then-sponsors dropped him.
- He then returned in 2019, and won an EVO World Championship in Samurai Showdown.
- He then was dropped by his then-sponsor, Korean company AfreecaTV, for putting on a sham tournament to benefit his friends in 2019!
This guy needs to be in prison -- now TWICE. He got only a fine for the domestic violence -- which tells you a lot about how Korea views women!
But then to come back, stick it up the ass of sensible video-gaming, and hold a rigged sham tournament SPONSORED BY YOUR HIGH-LEVEL SPONSOR...
WHAT THE UNHOLY MOTHER FUCK?
And why did it take nearly THREE YEARS to basically blanket-ban this guy?
And he's already under a life-ban threat from the domestic violence after basically accepting a two year suspension from the Capcom Pro Tour. So that sham tournament incident should end all of that.
He competed in last season's Grand Final on the Capcom Pro Tour and won a $5,000 exhibition match -- no formal professional championship was held since the COVID-19 pandemic hit. Even this season is a hybrid of on and offline events.
