Echo Fox sign freakazoid

Ryan "freakazoid" Abadir signed with Echo Fox, the organization announced via their website.

Echo Fox have been without a fifth ever since Mohamad "⁠mOE⁠" Assad decided to part ways with the team in late April and was later on announced as part of the talent lineup for ELEAGUE, and Armeen "⁠a2z⁠" Toussi was moved to a substitute role.

mOE was then replaced by Shahzeb "⁠ShahZaM⁠" Khan, but the other vacant spot was left to be filled while the team used Ryan "⁠ichibaNNN⁠" Colucci and David "⁠Xp3⁠" Garrido in their ECS Season 1 matches and the MLG Americas Minor North American qualifier.


freakazoid reunites with seang@res in Echo Fox

In the last two weeks Echo Fox were seen playing with Ryan "⁠freakazoid⁠" Abadir, who has been without a team for nearly two months since his departure from Cloud9 in April.

He has now been officially announced as Echo Fox's fifth, which means he will reunite with his former Cloud9 teammate and in-game leader, Sean "⁠seang@res⁠" Gares, making the full lineup following:

United States Sean "⁠seang@res⁠" Gares
United States Ronnie "⁠ryx⁠" Bylicki
United States Daniel "⁠roca⁠" Gustaferri
United States Shahzeb "⁠ShahZaM⁠" Khan
United States Ryan "⁠freakazoid⁠" Abadir

Canada Armeen "⁠a2z⁠" Toussi (backup)
United States Carey "⁠frozt⁠" Kertenian (coach)

The team's LAN debut will be ELEAGUE's Group E, also featuring Natus Vincere, MOUZ and FlipSid3, scheduled to start on June 21.
