When Echo Fox created its fighting game division early this year, one of the things that they did was sign away a a number of top players from rival team Evil Geniuses, such as Justin Wong and Yusuke Momochi. Aside from these players however, another EG veteran also made the move to Echo Fox: team manager Antonio “AJ” Javier.
At NorCal Regionals 2017 Mark “BornFree” Sheridan got the chance to talk to AJ and discuss a few things. In the interview below, AJ gives us a few behind-the-scenes glimpses into the workings of Echo Fox’s fighting game division, including recruitment, as well as working with team owner Rick Fox. Additionally, he also goes into what esports teams look for in fighting game players, and what players need to do if they want to get picked up.
