  • Yuko "ChocoBlanka" Momochi

Mortal Kombat

Evil Geniuses also parted ways with the majority of its FGC roster Sunday, including Wong, Momochi and ChocoBlanka. Echo Fox swept right in to pick up the in-demand free agents.

Echo Fox has a pretty star-studded FGC line-up now.

Tokido, Wong and Momochi join Julio Fuentes on the roster, all four of which are among the top Street Fighterplayers in the world and took first in at least one major Street Fighter Vtournament in the 2016 season. Momochi was arguably the best Ultra Street Fighter IVplayer in the world, Tokido is known as one of Japan's five gods of fighting games and Wong has been known to dominate the Marvel vs. Capcomscene (MvC4is expected to release this year).

Wong told Yahoo Esportsthat he was considering leaving his job at NVidia to compete full time.

MKLeo is the best Smash 4player in Mexico and one of the top Smash 4players in the world, most recently taking first place at major tournament 2GGT: ZeRo Saga in December. Echo Fox's other Smashplayer, Jason "Mew2King" Zimmerman, is one of the five gods of Meleeand is well-ranked in Smash 4.

In Mortal Kombat X and XL, Scar recently took first at the SoCal Regionals in October 2016 and SonicFox has won two Evo championships and three ESL Pro Leagues over the past two years, making him the top Mortal Kombatplayer in the world.

On top of its FGC roster, Echo Fox has teams competing in League of Legends, Counter-Strike: Global Offensive, Call of Dutyand Gears of War 4.
