Street Fighter veteran Lee “Infiltration” Seon-woo’s qualification for the upcoming Capcom Cup VIII<\/a> has been met with community criticism after a historic incident of domestic violence, which Infiltration was fined for, came to light.<\/p>\n

Back in 2017, Infiltration was arrested in Korea following an altercation with his wife escalating to the point of getting physical according to a 2018 investigation<\/a> by his former sponsor, Panda Global.<\/p>\n

Infiltration’s ex-wife sought a temporary restraining order, which was granted once a medical note from a hospital deemed she had sustained bruising as well as a wrist injury, and he was fined 700,000 won ($630).<\/p>\n

The 36-year-old, who is regarded as one of Street Fighter’s all-time greats, reached an agreement with Capcom and “voluntarily withdrew<\/a>” from the remainder of the 2018 Capcom Pro Tour as well as sitting out the 2019 season. <\/p>\n

During his time away from Capcom events, Infiltration still competed in other titles, more prominently Samurai Shodown, winning Evo 2019. Following his self-imposed suspension, Infiltration made his return to Street Fighter V at Evo Japan 2020, placing 5th at the event.<\/p>\n
