« Echo Fox starts 2017 with high-profile signings »

Team EchoFox has surprised the fighting game community with the announcement of seven signings to its team in the early new year: Tokido, Justin Wong, Momochi, ChocoBlanka, SonicFox, Scar and MKLeo.

These players will join returning EchoFox players Mew2King and Julio Fuentes, whose contracts have been renewed in 2017, under the leadership of new team coach—and former Evil Geniuses team manager—Antonio "CoolGrayAJ" Javier.

Yahoo Esports broke the news early on Jan. 4, quoting team founder Rick Fox in saying the team's goal "has always been to build the premier esports organization in the world."
