Echo Fox Sign Fenix and Rush To Their 2019 Roster
By Zac Cameron ·
The Kind Boy is returning to North America once again, as Rush and Fenix prepare to battle hard in the NA LCS.
The 2018 off-season is proving to be quite exciting for North American League of Legend fans, with so many big names either moving to the region or shifting rosters. Two of the most popular players that have not been seen for some time have made their way back onto a starting roster, with Kim “Fenix” Jae-hun rejoining Echo Fox after some time away, and former Cloud9 and KT Rolster jungler Lee “Rush” Yoon-jae returning to North America.
Echo Fox is excited to welcome @Rush0406* and welcome back @Midfenix to the #LeagueofLegends #FOXFAM? Can't wait to see them in action come January 26th! ??

Fans of Rush have been begging the player to return to the NA LCS after his brief but enjoyable time on Cloud9, however the move does raise new questions about what exactly will be happening with current jungler Joshua “Dardoch” Hartnett, one of the standout players from Echo Fox. Nothing has been announced about whether Dardoch will be staying with the team or leaving just yet, so fans are simply going to have to wait and see.
As for Fenix, his time on Echo Fox was fairly brief, with much of his acclaim coming from his time on Team Liquid back in 2015 / 2016. That isn’t to say that his performance on Echo Fox was lackluster, but fans will likely be more familiar with his longer stretch on TL. With his return, Echo Fox now has a pretty solid roster, with Colin “Solo” Earnest in the to plane, Rush and possibly Dardoch in the jungle, Fenix at mid, and Apollo “Apollo” Price and Nickolas “Hakuho” Surgent in the bot lane.
