SonicFox announces Echo Fox departure and teases future plans YouTube: BETDominique \u2018SonicFox\u2019 McLean, the final Echo Fox player left on their FGC lineup, has finally left the organization, although there\u2019s already new plans in the works for the enigmatic fighting game player. Echo Fox used to be one of the most powerful organizations in fighting games, but now all that remains is a legacy. The storied team has let go of their final competitor, SonicFox, as of February 25, with the talented player letting their fans know on Twitter. \u201cAnnouncing my official departure from Echo Fox,\u201d they said. \u201cHad a lot of good runs with the team and it changed my life! Looking forward to the future and new opportunities!\u201d Announcing my official departure from Echo Fox! Had a lot of good runs with the team and it changed my life! Looking forward to the future and new opportunities! Expect new announcements soon \ud83d\udc40 \u2014 SonicFox (@SonicFox) February 26, 2020 They told fans to \u201cexpect new announcements soon,\u201d but whether that could be in the competitor space or otherwise is unknown. Either way, the rumor mill is spinning on where the fan-favorite fighting game player could end up. A couple of names being thrown around are Team Liquid, 100 Thieves, and G2 Esports. Team Liquid has an established FGC fanbase, being home to some of the genre\u2019s best players including Juan \u2018Hungrybox\u2019 Debiedma and Samuel \u2018Dabuz\u2019 Buzby. However, it would be a new foray into fighting games for both 100T and G2. While they might have a big presence in games like League of Legends and CS:GO, neither organization has a single fighting game player in their books. SonicFox won a number of titles across numerous franchises during their three-year stint with Echo Fox. They took home two EVO titles in 2018 and 2019 for Dragon Ball FighterZ and Mortal Kombat 11 respectively, and a handful of majors across the world. Their only result in 2020 so far is a 13-16th placement at the Dragon Ball FighterZ World Tour Finals after being swept 0-3 in the group stages of the event. Mortal Kombat 11 will not be making a return to EVO in 2020, so SonicFox won\u2019t be able to defend their title there, but they will have a chance to redeem themselves in Dragon Ball FighterZ after placing second in 2019. The @NetherRealm crown rests easy on the head of @SonicFox5000 once more, he runs the table and is the inaugural EVO #MK11 champion here at #EVO2019! #EVOPS4 #ProKompetition pic.twitter.com\/HJGlu13Kgk \u2014 Evo (@Evo) August 4, 2019 Echo Fox used to be home to some of the FGC\u2019s most legendary names, including Yusuke \u2018Momochi\u2019 Momochi, Justin Wong, Leonardo \u2018Mkleo\u2019 Lopez Perez, and Jason \u2018Mew2King\u2019 Zimmerman.
