MANILA, Philippines – Capcom and other fighting game events banned Ryan ‘Filipino Champ’ Ramirez from competing indefinitely after the former EVO champion tweeted an image with an insensitive caption. In a statement posted on Wednesday, June 17, the video game company said Ramirez would no longer be invited to its events, including the Capcom Pro Tour and Street Fighter League.

Capcom said the ban on Ramirez, who violated the player code of conduct, covers all tournaments worldwide.

honestly really sad. just think if he tweeted this last year or two years ago, people would've just laughed about it. yeah, it's badly-timed, but context matters. also FChamp is known for being the 'heel' of the fgc. he says things because it's his character.

What a dumb thing to do.
