Capcom is looking for a new Street Fighter Senior PR Manager

Looking for a simultaneously thankless and incredibly important job? Are you a masochist? Do you like having the perception of your entire company carried on your every word and expression? And (last, but certainly not least) are you proficient with Microsoft Word?

Capcom is looking for a new Senior PR Manager, and according to their advert, the new guy will be dealing directly with Street Fighter and the esports scene. If you think you might have the right combination of FGC exposure and media savvy, check out their job posting here. Good luck to those that apply!

Oh, and you also need to be able to lift 25 pounds. The CPT trophy must be really big this year.

For eight iterations, Lap Chi Duong has ran one of the most popular stops on the fighting game major circuit in Canada Cup. The event this year featured more of the same hype from years past, with even more happening due to the crowning of a Canadian Marvel champion.

In his first trip to Canada Cup, BornFree talked to Lap Chi about the history of his event. They also talked about what trends Lap Chi sees in the growth of the FGC, as well as his love of Ultra Street Fighter IV — which featured a $1,000 pot bonus this year.
