i still find suspicious the trembling voice, the tears, talking about one of the first player he hired. He could have kept him, he is the CEO and has the power to do so; at one point u must think he had to subsidise the decision of letting him go. expecially post this article: cybersport.com/post/froggen-finds-himself-replaced-as-echo-fox-picks-up-fenix
...Players have Contracts. Once that Contract is up, they the players themselves get to decide what they will do, Resign or go a different way. You can't say he "Could have" kept him whenever it's not Rick Fox's choice. It's Froggens choice.
Imagine working with this guy, damn. Rick Fox really is a great guy, he came into the eSports scene as a total noob but patiently learned the way of the game and now he is one of the best owners in the league. Nothing but blessings for this man 🙌🏽 and one of the most entertaining teams to watch.
Meanwhile a veteran franchise owner and retired midlaner Reginald gained the reputation of chewing through promising junglers like a can of pringles...
YBBGM rick fox was brought up in a competitive world being the NBA so he will have knowledge how to run stuff, but you can really see that his hard work pays off
I never thought i will be a fan of Echo Fox but holy sh*t Rick Fox and his passion for the team just made me a echo fox fan. Thx for beeing a part of the League of Legends world Mr Fox.
I love how you can tell that Rick Fox legitimately is sad that Froggen had to move on. He was one of those star players that define a team and was the face of that team, much like Berjsen is the face of TSM and Sneaky is the face of Cloud 9. And much like how Aphromoo was the face of CLG
I’ve never seen sneaky as the face of c9, to me c9 doesn’t really have a face. I would argue that it would be Jensen more than sneaky but I only got into LoL esports last year so I wouldn’t know much of fr history
Russell Mamuyac I'm in a similar boat. First got into it almost two years ago. I say Sneaky because while Jensen stands out more, I know how long Sneaky has been with them and is still a huge star on that team.
I have massive respect for Rick Fox, i never knew his as a basketball player but to acutally see him caring so much about players, his team's and other stuff makes his the most special own of league of legends and I have been in the game for 4 years now. It is unbelievable whay this guys does for his team. Definitely would love to see them keeping first place and wining the season!
YES. This is exactly what I wanted to see from Echo Fox. I loved watching Froggen play, and hearing Rick Fox talk about him so warmly makes it so I can't help but root for this team.
I really dont understand how anyone can dislike Rick Fox in the slightest, amazing person and an owner who actually cares about his entire organization and players, and after two years id say he is running it damn well.
froggen, in my mind and probably many others, was the heart of echo fox. he held down that rookie team and kept them in the game when they were struggling
Just the Blitz app the other day, its great. To anyone else that has it, do you get time zone issues? The times are off and I went to see if there was a setting to change it but I didn't see one.
Froggen must be lowkey pissed that Echo Fox is now #1 in the league and playing pretty damn well. I believe if he was on the roster instead of Fenix they would be doing equally as well, but that just isn't the case unfortunately. Bye Froggen :'(
Jules I'm of the mind that Froggen is all around a better player than Fenix, but the existing relationship between Fenix and Dardoch make for a better duo than Froggen Dardoch. I feel like Froggen and Dardoch would really clash and cause some internal strife.
I think the synergy between Fenix and Dardoch is MASSIVE. Froggen was also a KDA player from what I watched last year. I think since Fenix is worse than him, it lets the team not have to play around mid as much as long as Fenix just manages his lane. Lots of top mid laners demand so much attention that it makes it hard for the other lanes to get that same attention to snowball. Especially since top is so crucial now.
Froggen is an absolute paragon of a player that all pros should aspire to be like. None of this Dardoch or Jensen crap - HE is the one they should all aspire to emulate.
Duh? Just watch any of aphromoo's interviews or the clip of Huhi donating on stream and making Aphro tear up. These players are people, a lot of them kids. They have to do what is best for themselves before anyone else (unless they're a pair like zven and mithy), and even still, those decisions are hard and heartbreaking.
How can "both sides tried very hard to make it work" and he is leaving..thats just impossible.Does he has personal issues or was there grudge in the team, or is he gonna be on TSM? one of the 3.
Dagobert Duck from what I understand Froggen is not very happy with where he's at (performance wise) and he took a time out to boot camp in Korea. And hopefully be back by the summer split.
So multiple years in NA and Froggen was always just good enough to stay off the bench on every team he played in. It's not fair his European legacy kept his career alive but not people like Alex Ich :(
Froggen missed the opportunity to play in a winning team for once I guess. But who have known? Would they syill win without Fenix and Froggen in his place?
Froggen never had the players arround him worth anything when he played on the team... weird to invest hard in the team an drop Froggen at same time... yes Fenix do well.. but so whould Froggen, froggen flyes higher! But did knew there was personel things who stopped it... sad :/
*OTHER ESPORTS TEAMS TAKE NOTICE HOW TO RUN YOUR ORGANIZATION* like let's move on from these hyper competitive gamer clique teams, and move into some legit organizations with values more than just being the best.
Was Dardoch Fenix's old jungler? I know they played on TL together but I don't know if it was last season. I've gotta admit Fenix has been a fucking rock this season and he's been so consistent and good. I would just prefer Froggen because I'm a long time fan of his but yeah I'm happy for Echo Fox either way.
Yes they played together in TL and it seems that Fenix was the guy that had the best affinity with him there, so it makes sense from an out-of-game standpoint to guarantee he has a healthy friendship with at least one person.
Man Rick Fox really loves his players so much. I love this guy's passion for this game!
Same here, he seems so genuine you almost can't help but like him
mb he is just a good actor
Oh buddy he is not xD he's not just an Ex-NBA player but also a failed actor lol
i still find suspicious the trembling voice, the tears, talking about one of the first player he hired. He could have kept him, he is the CEO and has the power to do so; at one point u must think he had to subsidise the decision of letting him go. expecially post this article: cybersport.com/post/froggen-finds-himself-replaced-as-echo-fox-picks-up-fenix

he's still a complete noob, he's really bad at league lmao. But yeah, he's an amazing guy and an amazing owner.
_At this point i just want Rick Fox to be my dad._
same. :(
It hurts so much ... but i do it for Rick.
I never thought i will be a fan of Echo Fox but holy sh*t Rick Fox and his passion for the team just made me a echo fox fan. Thx for beeing a part of the League of Legends world Mr Fox.

Russell Mamuyac nah.. sneaky is the only remaining original lcs member of c9
Russell Mamuyac Everyone on C9 ends up talking like Sneaky after a while.
Russell Mamuyac I'm in a similar boat. First got into it almost two years ago. I say Sneaky because while Jensen stands out more, I know how long Sneaky has been with them and is still a huge star on that team.
And next split, sneaky will be 5 years on c9
Rick fox and froggen are such admirable people that you can look to when you think of a loving team you can support
The editing on this video seems so excessively sad I had to check Google just to make sure Froggen hadn't died or something.
Mr Make Fun I agree that the video was so sad. But I actually laughed from your comment. Thank you.
750/750
Underrated comment
0:20 I can't tell if froggen is small, if Rick Fox is a giant, or if zirene is normal
All of them lol
Froggen is normal, Zirene is tall and Rick is huge haha
Froggen is like 1.80 or something, I believe he said that in an old interview
Yes
Rick fox was an NBA player, so he’s pretty tall.
I have massive respect for Rick Fox, i never knew his as a basketball player but to acutally see him caring so much about players, his team's and other stuff makes his the most special own of league of legends and I have been in the game for 4 years now. It is unbelievable whay this guys does for his team. Definitely would love to see them keeping first place and wining the season!
I love this guy so much
God Rick Fox is such a delight. Love that this guy is in the E-Sports scene driving it forward
YES. This is exactly what I wanted to see from Echo Fox. I loved watching Froggen play, and hearing Rick Fox talk about him so warmly makes it so I can't help but root for this team.
My god, this was so much more emotional than I was prepared for when I clicked on this video.
I really dont understand how anyone can dislike Rick Fox in the slightest, amazing person and an owner who actually cares about his entire organization and players, and after two years id say he is running it damn well.
You can really hear the passion in Rick's voice. You can tell this is hard for him. We need more owners like this.
Daaaaaamn Rick Fox's voice is so goooooood... Aaaand that smile too damn, MY BODY IS READY!
I'm glad Rick Fox is getting the spotlight he deserves. Such a great owner.
I became an Echo Fox fan because of Froggen, but I stay an Echo Fox fan for Rick Fox. I hope Froggen makes it back to the team somehow
blitz esport becoming a great league channel. Echo fox becoming my favorite team, i predict they gonna be the best team
you dont have to predict anything, they alraedy are
Lol, wait for them to play every team and somehow "predict" that they're the best
I was thinking internationally, NA redemption team
uhh i was thinking international, Let make some upset happen bois
Thank you for this!
In memory of his haunting laugh ;-;
EDIT: Yooo thanks for the likes :))
Prynglez 경사 it still scares me to this day
Doesnt it all
He's an amazing player..no doubt.. But that autistic laugh.. My goodness..
RICK FOX IS THE MAN!
REGGIE NEVER DID THIS FOR ANYONE!! even when dyrus cried during his retirement speech!
the feel train is here
I'm not crying, you're crying ;-;
FrogDaddy =(
Rick Fox is such a wholesome guy god damn
froggen, in my mind and probably many others, was the heart of echo fox. he held down that rookie team and kept them in the game when they were struggling
Became a Echo Fox fan from the beginning because of Froggen and will continue to be a fan forever.
I wasn't ready for these feels :'(
Just the Blitz app the other day, its great. To anyone else that has it, do you get time zone issues? The times are off and I went to see if there was a setting to change it but I didn't see one.
I love Rick Fox. I hope more people in traditional sports could be like him.
Oh man, this is making me emotional
So what will Froggen do now? Also didn't Froggen leave a long time ago?
Zyronl TZ Froggen is currently staying in Korea for a while to get better to return to the LCS stronger.
Regarding the 2nd question: They probably released this video today because it's Froggen's birthday.
He is bootcamping in Korea and will look for LCS offers for summer split.
Zyronl TZ he left in the off-season
and he will probably get a good offer he is top 10 kr
dang, rick fox seems like the most real guy ever
There must be an asmr Rick Fox talk somewhere, gotta find it !
he should be their midlaner now.. would be such a massive upgrade
So close to 100k subs
What a charismatic owner. Making it real hard to not root for echofox.
Love rick
froggen and rick are gonna work together again! im really sure
1:07 why is there an adidas shirt in a nike box?😶
froggen will be the first lck import slot
Almost 100k subscribers!
Holy Moly, I got goosebumps from this! #DaddyFox is just the best owner you could have!
Like if agree!
Kenneth Rodrigo Daddy fox haHAA
The new echo fox roster would've been a monster team with froggen in it IMO.
forever love froggen
Froggen must be lowkey pissed that Echo Fox is now #1 in the league and playing pretty damn well. I believe if he was on the roster instead of Fenix they would be doing equally as well, but that just isn't the case unfortunately. Bye Froggen :'(
Jules I'm of the mind that Froggen is all around a better player than Fenix, but the existing relationship between Fenix and Dardoch make for a better duo than Froggen Dardoch. I feel like Froggen and Dardoch would really clash and cause some internal strife.
agreed with ethan, we already saw an aggro jungler with froggen and his name was shook
Froggen is bootcamping in Korea, he will prob join back the lcs during summer spilt and rekt everyone
I think the synergy between Fenix and Dardoch is MASSIVE. Froggen was also a KDA player from what I watched last year. I think since Fenix is worse than him, it lets the team not have to play around mid as much as long as Fenix just manages his lane.

Great point about Dardoch/Froggen, didn't consider that ;D
Big EF fan after this. Even if its meant to do that, its great.
Great Video.
Hey who is chopping dem onions.
man i fucking loved rick fox all along, but seeing him wearing boston sports gear makes me love him infinitely more
Oh man guys froggen is beasting in korea
froggen is so underrated
I thought froggen was just taking a split off
Biblethump froggen
But dam echo fox is so family like
What happens did he left??
With that laugh of him he wouldve been gone in a few days if it was my team
Froggen is an absolute paragon of a player that all pros should aspire to be like. None of this Dardoch or Jensen crap - HE is the one they should all aspire to emulate.
Man, LoL does not deserve Rick. He is way too nice and kind for us 😂
froggen laugh
Why did he quit ?
Onions got my eyes sorry.
froggen will be playing in korean team he play soloq in korea and in backround learn korean language 100%
RIP FRO... oh w8 NVM...
Was he still a sponsored streamer or something up until now? Or is this just really late?
billyboss OMEGALUL
when these players switch teams do they not think about leaving their long time friends that they're leaving
Of course they do, but its a professional career and they have to make decisions that they believe are the best for their career.
Duh? Just watch any of aphromoo's interviews or the clip of Huhi donating on stream and making Aphro tear up. These players are people, a lot of them kids. They have to do what is best for themselves before anyone else (unless they're a pair like zven and mithy), and even still, those decisions are hard and heartbreaking.
That's part of being an adult man. Sometimes you have to leave your friends to better your deal.
MSF Froggen please
How can "both sides tried very hard to make it work" and he is leaving..thats just impossible.Does he has personal issues or was there grudge in the team, or is he gonna be on TSM? one of the 3.
Dagobert Duck from what I understand Froggen is not very happy with where he's at (performance wise) and he took a time out to boot camp in Korea. And hopefully be back by the summer split.
Froggens cool and all but rick fox is the greatest 😂 I love this guy
a few mothns late news
tsm froggen
So multiple years in NA and Froggen was always just good enough to stay off the bench on every team he played in.
It's not fair his European legacy kept his career alive but not people like Alex Ich :(
Leowulf™ alex ich legacy summary
*Find something broken to play mid*
*Nerfed by rito after split*
Been that way ever since haha
Le Blenk?
i only see love and support for rick and it warms my heart. The only redeeming part of the LoL community
europe player
Froggen missed the opportunity to play in a winning team for once I guess. But who have known? Would they syill win without Fenix and Froggen in his place?
Not even a fan of Froggen but this was sad :(
BibleThump
Froggen never had the players arround him worth anything when he played on the team... weird to invest hard in the team an drop Froggen at same time... yes Fenix do well.. but so whould Froggen, froggen flyes higher!
But did knew there was personel things who stopped it... sad :/
*OTHER ESPORTS TEAMS TAKE NOTICE HOW TO RUN YOUR ORGANIZATION* like let's move on from these hyper competitive gamer clique teams, and move into some legit organizations with values more than just being the best.
Froggen IS ECHO FOX
Romnys Gonzalez 9-1 xD
Hahahaha!
Froggen is Allianz. Not Echo Fox
Romnys Gonzalez no Rick fox is echo fox
Froggen back to eu?
Destinati0n he's soloQing in Korea right now
Mark Ramos he is Already in eu to met his family
GanzStumpfLukas ahhh ok
I mean back in the eu lcs
Destinati0n he is Talking a break from Esport for a year maybe he is coming back But i wouldnt think he will Come back to eu lcs
Do we think current fox would be better with froggen ?
Yeah one of the best EU mid laners, went to NA became and did nothing lmao
we dont deserve both of them tbh
Froggen should have retired 3 seasons ago...
I didn't understand. They kicked froggen for not agreeing with the team?
good lol
"Froggen's our boy. He's not going anywhere." Next split - "You're fired."
Its better you put him on FOX-A
It's simple really, Froggen demanded a higher paid contract, Ekko Fox didn't agree. Froggen left.
Actually in an earlier video he said he wasn't sure if he wanted to continue his gaming career.
Why is he replaced by Fenix? I think Froggen is better
To get Dardoch they needed to sign Fenix.
Froggen said on his stream that he will be taking a break from lcs and boot camp on korea he is top 10 on korea server before leaving
froggen is awesome but I think Fenix plays better imo
Froggen to TSM....TSM need new mid
Thank you froggen but I think Rick is a bit emotional a lot
thats a huge mouth...
Good job benching this KDA player.
And you just replaced him with Fenix? What happened there? Fenix is great but I'd rather have Froggen
I think Fenix would go better with Dardoch
Was Dardoch Fenix's old jungler? I know they played on TL together but I don't know if it was last season. I've gotta admit Fenix has been a fucking rock this season and he's been so consistent and good. I would just prefer Froggen because I'm a long time fan of his but yeah I'm happy for Echo Fox either way.
Yes they played together in TL and it seems that Fenix was the guy that had the best affinity with him there, so it makes sense from an out-of-game standpoint to guarantee he has a healthy friendship with at least one person.
Yeah I guess so. Wonder if they'll 2.0 this weekend too
