Echo Fox forms first H1Z1: King of the Kill pro team
Echo Fox will be the first esports organization to field an H1Z1: King of the Kill roster, the team announced Friday.
By scouring the leaderboards, Echo Fox (owned by former NBA great Rick Fox) will build their four-man roster ahead of TwitchCon, where the newly-formed squad will play in the second annual H1Z1 Invitational. Last year, the inaugural event was a moderate success, scoring more than 100,000 concurrent viewers for its $173,000 prize pool.
Expect the roster to be announced before TwitchCon, which takes place from September 30 through October 2 in San Diego, California.
Taylor Cocke isn’t convinced that H1Z1 will become a prominent esport, but applauds developer Daybreak for giving it a shot. Follow him on Twitter @taylorcocke.
