“Nothing’s Ever in the Bag” — Echo Fox’s FGC Team Manager Talks about Commitment

Echo Fox has gone hard in the paint during the free agency period of Street Fighter V–and the FGC in general–in between season 1 and 2. They signed a large swath of players across the span of a few days, and looks poised to be a force to be reckoned with this year.

But if you ask Antonio Javier–FGC manager of Echo Fox, and former FGC manager of Evil Geniuses–he would tell you that even with an impressive roster, nothing is guaranteed. He states that “being in a prestigious team like Evil Geniuses and now Echo Fox, you always have a target on your back.”

He also discusses his unique role in the FGC as a manager of a large esports decision, as well as his background with the game. When asked about what drives him to keep the roles he’s maintained in the community, he states, “I got … satisfaction in mentoring the players, in kind of guiding them along the way, which is why I can say that this is truly a dream job for me.” He also talks about Echo Fox’s commitment to the FGC, saying, “But Echo Fox wanted to dive right in and show the community that they are very serious about investing in it, and … my signing along with the team shows a lot of commitment.”
