Echo Fox Announces Signing Of Punk To Roster
By Zac Cameron ·
Echo Fox's FGC squad continues to grow in size and stature, with their signing of "Punk" to the Street Fighter team
It’s another big day for the Fox Family, with the announcement that they have signed Victor “Punk” Woodley to their FGC roster. Though Punk hasn’t been around the scene for the longest time, he’s already managed to garner quite a lot of attention with his success in Street Fighter V.
Punk started with Street Fighter IV back in 2009, but it was his success on the newer title at events such as West Coast Warzone, where he claimed first place, that really attracted attention. His follow up performance at CEO and EVO certainly helped cement his rising reputation, likewise his victories at Norcal Regionals 2017, Dreamhack Austin, and the ELEAGUE Street Fighter V International.
Matching his out of game charisma to his in game character Karin, Punk will be joining Echo Fox’s already impressive Street Fighter squad of Hajime “Tokido” Taniguchi, Yusuke “Momochi” Momochi, and Justin “Justin Wong” Wong, making them a very scary team for upcoming events.
Rick Fox, founder of Echo Fox, had this to say about the news, “We’re honored to have Victor “Punk” Woodley, one of the most exciting names in the fighting games genre, join our Echo Fox family. I’m confident his talent will continue to solidify our position as one of the leading esports organizations across genres, and will strengthen our roster at this year’s NorCal Regionals.” Punk also expressed his excitement on joining the Echo Fox roster, stating that “I'm very happy to be alongside such great team and my good friend Justin”.
Punk will be making his Echo Fox debut at the NorCal Regionals on March 30th to April 1st, the first Capcom Pro Tour event of the year.
