UYU signs Tekken 7 Evo 2018 Champion Sun-woong “LowHigh” Yoon

If you didn’t know who Sun-woong “LowHigh” Yoon was  before Evo 2018, you certainly did after his dominate Tekken 7 championship run. The Korean Shaheen/Law player kept that momentum going with a win at REV 2018 — two major championships would be a nice bookend for anyone’s year.

But LowHigh’s 2018 is ending with a new sponsorship, instead: he’ll be joining esports team UYU. With LowHigh’s addition, he joins notable players Jeondding, P. Ling, Yuyu, and 2017 Tekken World Tour Champion Qudans. With this stacked of a roster, UYU looks poised to be the #1 Tekken threat on the scene.

Mech Abigail, a Jin Saotome Crossover Costume for Ryu, and a myriad of costume DLC bundles are coming to Street Fighter V

The mech-invasion of Street Fighter V is not over!

Following the Mech costumes for Zangief, F.A.N.G, and Juri that have smashed their way through Extra Battle mode in Street Fighter V — Mech Juri is in her third week presently — another one is prepped to roll off the assembly line soon: Abigail will be the next fighter to get the Mech treatment, with his challenges starting as Juri’s end, on December 21.

Street Fighter V: Arcade Edition’s upcoming patch will also re-balance Extra Battle mode

Alongside making the game free to try for a week and putting in “sponsored content”, Tuesday’s patch for Street Fighter V: Arcade Edition is set to add some balance changes to the game’s Extra Battle mode — according to the official Shadaloo CRI page. Capcom claims that they’ve analyzed the data from some of the fights in Extra Battle, and will be adjusting the difficulty and replayability of some of the missions going forward.

What exactly they’ll be adjusting has not been stated as of this time, however. That said, this could mean that some missions which feature opponents that give out large sums of fight money, while being easily beaten with certain special moves might be getting adjusted (Flash-Kicking Golden Shadaloo Soldiers to death, for example).

This commonly occurs in games including Overwatch, League of Legends and DOTA 2 to name a few. Those found guilty of boosting can face a two year suspended sentence and up to $18,000 in fines.

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. Prior to this announcement, Infiltration was terminated from Panda Global (and subsequently disqualified from the Capcom Cup).

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