He spent the next several years earning even more Evo medals and performing well in various fighting games, including Street Fighter x Tekken, Street Fighter V, Samurai Shodown, and Guilty Gear Strive.
Lee also voluntarily stepped away from Capcom’s official Street Fighter tournaments for a year, all the while disputing the abuse claims for which he was arrested, found guilty by a South Korean court, and fined.
Last year, for instance, Lee was reportedly caught coordinating with friends to defraud a beginner Street Fighter V tournament he organized with Korean streaming site AfreecaTV, his largest sponsor at the time.
Discord screenshots show Lee encouraging the person who won that event, a master-level player in other fighting games, to not raise his Street Fighter V rank too high for fear of raising suspicion.
