Following a decisive victory at Final Kombat 2020 last weekend, SonicFox has signed with esports organization Evil Geniuses. A move has been expected for a few weeks following SonicFox’s departure from organization Echo Fox.

Speaking to the Washington Post in a phone interview, SonicFox stated, “I feel that Evil Geniuses is an even bigger platform than I’ve ever been on, maybe the biggest one in recent years. With other organizations…I didn’t have that reach or potential.”

In the Fighting Game Community (FGC), SonicFox is among the best competitors in the world across several titles. In past years they have dominated Injustice: Gods Among Us, Mortal Kombat X, Dragon Ball FighterZ, and now for two years running, Mortal Kombat 11.

SonicFox has also shown off their versatility across a broad range of fighting games as a genre by entering other competitive events in SoulCalibur VI, Street Fighter 5, and Tekken 7, often performing well with relatively little preparation compared to other competitors.

Evil Geniuses looks to be a great fit for SonicFox as a well-developed organization with competitive teams in a broad range of games including League of Legends, CS:GO, DOTA 2, and more. If Evil Geniuses were looking to grow their presence in the FGC, signing one of the best players in the world is certainly a bold way to work towards that goal. Check out the interview below for more on SonicFox's thoughts on the great move.

SonicFox is not alone in heading to Evil Geniuses, and is joined by dekillsage, a long-time competitor with the two playing duos together in Dragon Ball FighterZ. On his own, dekillsage is a skilled player in both Marvel vs. Capcom: Infinite, Skullgirls, and Super Smash Bros. for the Wii U.

The decision to move away from Echo Fox was a long time coming. The organization had a promising start, but things went downhill following a series of problems. The biggest issue that plagued the group occurred when a racist email belonging a major investor, Amit Raizada, was leaked. This ultimately led to the resignation of Rick Fox, founder of the esports organization, while the investor remained associated with Echo Fox. Since then, several prominent players have left for other esports organizations.

We wish SonicFox and dekillsage all the best in their move to Evil Geniuses. There is no doubt that the pair will find success with their new organization.
