Career

edit

Fox started his career in 2006 by playing Counter-Strike: 1.6 on Excello as an AWPer, he spent one year there and was signed in 2007 by the leading Portuguese eSports organization, k1ck eSports Club. Later on, in 2012, he switched his professional career to focus only CounterStrike: Global Offensive and signed with the Portuguese team, k1ck eSports Club with the most talented Portuguese players, winning the national championship and national cup.

His talent was noticed on some international teams in Europe, and in 2015 he signed with the French team G2 Esports, which was trying an international team with European players.

In 2016 he played as a stand-in for SK Gaming, the number 1 team in the world and placed 3rd-4th in the Major after falling to Virtus.pro in 2 overtimes.

On 4 January 2018 it was announced that fox will return to play with his ex-k1ck eSports Club teammate, MUTiRis, known as the second best Portuguese CS:GO player. Fox and MUTiRis, who departed the Spanish team, Giants, went to fox's first international team, Team Kinguin.[citation needed] After the things didn't go as planned at Team Kinguin, fox and MUTiRis left the organization, being the main cause the lack of good in-game communication between the five members.[3] On 3 May 2018 it was announced fox would be joining a new international team, Tempo Storm.[citation needed]
