Echo Fox is a professional eSports organization which fields teams in League of Legends, Call of Duty: Black Ops 3 , Counter-Strike: Global Offensive, Street Fighter V, Super Smash Bros. Melee, Marvel vs. Capcom 3, Super Smash Bros. for Wii U, Mortal Kombat X, and Injustice 2.The organization was founded after Rick Fox bought the League of Legends Championship Series (LCS) spot of Gravity Gaming for around US$1 million. The organization expanded into Counter-Strike: Global Offensive by signing a team called Torqued on January 26, 2016.Jace Hall is the team's co-owner and manager.
On 1/23/2016, due to some concerns over player work-eligibility, Echo Fox was unable to submit a roster and was required to forfeit their match against NRG eSports. Echo Fox finished last in the 2016 Summer NA LCS, forcing a relegation match. They defeated NRG eSports 3-0 in relegations and qualified for the 2017 NA LCS Spring Split.
While no official reason has been given for Echo Fox allowing its players to leave, many cite it due to bad performances at both Eleague Season 2 and IBUYPOWER Masters 2016. At Eleague, Echo Fox suffered humiliating losses versus Virtus.pro(where they won only a single round on nuke) and versus G2 Esports(where Echo Fox lost 16-3 and 16-2 on Nuke and Dust 2 respectively). At IBUYPOWER Masters 2016 Echo Fox finished a disappointing 5th-6th place.
