Ryan "Filipino Champ" Ramirez and Peter "Combofiend" Rosas have joined CompLexity Gaming, adding to last week's announcement that the team would not be stopping with its initial two signings.
Filipino Champ (pictured, right) and Combofiend are two well-known competitors on the West Coast and have won multiple championships. In the Evolution 2011 tournament series, Combofiend is sixth in the Marvel vs. Capcom 3 standings, and Filipino Champ is 31st. For Super Street Fighter IV, Filipino Champ is 23rd, having finished in the top 16 in three tournaments.
Filipino Champ was previously with Borderland Gaming under a one-year deal but had a falling out and was soon independent. Combofiend had not been on a team since the inception of the Street Fighter IV series.
Mike Ross, the player manager for CompLexity, had this statement on the team's site:
When compLexity gave me a chance to become player manager for the FGC I knew this would mean great things. With that I am happy to bring along Filipino Champ and Combofiend to the coL.cc roster. These are two great players in both Marvel vs Capcom 3 and the Street Fighter 4 series. I feel that with these two players on board, people will begin to see the potential of what compLexity Cross Counter can bring to the scene.Last month, CompLexity signed Mike Ross and Ryan "Gootecks" Gutierrez, but only as player manager and media manager, respectively. The team said Friday it is not done with signing players.
