Monster Energy ends business relationship with Seon-woo “Infiltration” Lee

Former EVO champion Seon-woo “Infiltration” Lee recently announced on twitter that he will no longer be affiliated with former Monster Energy.

Infiltration was signed by Monster Energy roughly a year ago along with another EVO champion, Xian. Monster Energy’s contract termination with Seon-Woo is the latest in an ongoing controversy surrounding a domestic abuse charge against Seon-Woo from 2017.

Monster Energy has not released a formal statement on the matter at the time of this writing.
