'Street Fighter' pro Infiltration says Capcom doesn't care about pros

Professional Street Fighter player Lee "Infiltration" Seon-woo really opened up about Capcom and his issues with how they handle the pro scene.

In an interview with Core-A Gaming on Wednesday, Infiltration discussed some of his frustrations with season 2 of Street Fighter V and how changes and updates are focusing on bringing in new players, which in turn is forcing dedicated players to learn new characters and strategies. With all the new changes, Street Fighter V now rewards offensive strategies more than balanced strategies and pros have to adapt their playstyles.

Infiltration also talked about some of his issues with the Capcom Pro Tour and Capcom Cup, including a lack of communication about tournament structure and scheduling and lack of rest and practice space at Capcom Cup.

Infiltration remains hopeful about the future, though, and wants Capcom to improve their considerations for top tier players.
