Echo Fox’s FGC Manager Antonio Javier Talks about the Importance of Teams

In recent years, big esports teams have made a lot of inroads into the fighting game community, signing up a number of top players. However, despite this, the genre’s one-on-one nature has more than a few people wondering if teams really bring anything–aside from sponsorships–to a player.

In a recent interview with PVP Live, Echo Fox’s FGC Manager Antonio Javier argues that teams actually do matter. Aside from helping each other out during tournaments, ha also says having teammates also helps a player develop. “Teammates will be more inclined to share your own tendencies against various players,” Javier states,”It always helps to have someone there to give you feedback.”

He also states how having veteran players in a team means that they can help out the newer players. He specifically talks about Julio Fuentes, who despite being their tenured player, is still somewhat new, and how someone like him can benefit from having a veteran like Justin Wong on the team.

In addition to this, he also addresses the possibility of team tournaments. Javier states that he does hope that these things become more common down the line stating that the team format is something that is compelling to watch. As an example, he points out the recent Cooperation Cup 15 and how it was one of the most hype tournaments in recent memory.

Of course, Javier talks about a few more things aside from the above. Check out the full interview over at PVP Live.
