Echo Fox, an esports team owned by former NBA player Rick Fox, brought aboard Jason "Mew2King" Zimmerman to represent the Super Smash Bros. series. This was following the signing of Street Fighter player Julio Fuentes back in late April. Known as one of the most popular Super Smash Bros. Melee players of all time, M2K was previously involved in Empire Arcadia and COGnitive Gaming. Mew2King will bear the Echo Fox tag at the upcoming Get On My Level 2016 tournament.
Meanwhile, Atlanta's Hoa "Anakin" Luu of Tekken fame is now part of Circa eSports. He will join Long "LPN" Phi Nguyen (Street Fighter V), Wesley "6WX" Alexander (SSB4) and Christian "Suicune Master" Patierno (Pokkén) as one of the resident fighting game players in Circa. Named for his capabilities at a very young age, we will probably see more of Anakin, now older, when Tekken 7 gets a wider release.
