'Players who misrepresent themselves under another player’s gamertag or multiple gamertags undermine the legitimacy of tournament events'

Canada Cup 2017 was held in Toronto this past weekend, and though it was filled with the hype and excitement that comes from having international talent compete in the event's plethora of fighting game titles, there was a major incident involving bracket integrity.

Two players that had signed up for the Marvel vs. Capcom: Infinite tournament have been given a lifetime ban by Canada Cup tournament organizers.

Jose "Quackbot" Aldape (now known as PC Marvel God) violated the rules by entering the tournament twice, once as himself and once under the alias of another player entirely.

Lina "Holy Order Troll" Crawford offered her spot to Aldape after having arcade stick troubles. Major problems ensued after tournament organizers discovered the goings on, as multiple tournament matches had to be replayed.

We heard reactions from affected player Eliver "Killer Kai"Ling earlier this week. You can read the statement issued by Canada Cup representatives below.
