Rick Fox Says Echo Fox is Scouting Competitive Fortnite Scene

Epic Games' announcement of its plan to fund competitive Fortnite events in 2018-2019 with a $100,000,000 prize pool has caused many esports organizations to begin looking to into possibly building a competitive team to compete for the massive prize pool.

One of these organizations looks to be Echo Fox, as owner Rick Fox stated in an interview with TMZ Sports that his organization is currently scouting the competitive scene for individuals to represent itself in the professional world of the battle royale title. 

"Our ears have been to the ground there, and our front office has been completely on top of finding the talent that would represent Echo Fox in a Fortnite setting," said Rick Fox. 

Rick Fox and his organization are no strangers to battle royale esports, as the organization currently fields one of 15 charter teams of the H1Z1 Pro League. The organization's H1Z1 Pro League team currently sits in 5th pace with 96 total points.  Already having shown that it knows how to build and sustain a top level battle royale esports team in the H1Z1 Pro League, it will not be surprising to see the organization put together another talented team for competitive Fortnite.

However, Rick Fox did not state a timetable for when fans should expect to see or hear anything official about a Fortnite team for the organization, so it remains to be seen when or if the organization will officially enter the competitive scene of the battle royale title to compete for the $100,000,000 prize pool.

With the likes of FaZe Clan, Team SoloMid, Red Reserve and others having already signed competitive Fortnite teams, Rick Fox's Echo Fox would become one of the latest major esports organization to enter the professional scene for the popular battle royale game.
