Echo Esports is a professional gaming organisation founded in 2020 by the most successful World of Warcraft players of all time.

Challenging ourselves to compete at the highest levels is at the centre of what Echo does. We don’t cut corners. We respect each other and reject toxicity within our team and in our community.

Continuing the standard of excellence set by our founding raid team, we integrate our approach into our business practices, driving our focus for Echo as an organisation.

We are more than just an Esports team. We pride ourselves on our ability to use our platform to help generate meaningful change. Working with charities such as Rise Above the Disorder and INHOPE has allowed us to champion causes close to our hearts.

Our success is shared. With both our community and our partners, we are fortunate enough to share a vision towards pushing industry boundaries and improving experiences. Echo is whole only through the family of our community and our partners. For this reason, it is so important for us to be honest, genuine and transparent, reflecting these values in every decision we make.
