2023 has been a big year for fighters with new circuits and games taking it to the highest level of esports. This has been reflected in prize pools, viewer numbers, but also in orgs trying to get in on it. More and more orgs are buffing out their fighting game esports rosters. Most recently, with Paragon signing ScrawtVermillion.

ScrawtVermillion is one of the top fighting game players out there. He’s a great representation of what makes some players in fighting games so impressive, in that he’s a pro level player in more than one game. It’s not uncommon to see players placing well in tournaments for very different games across each tournament. What does this new signing mean for the player and Paragon?

ScrawtVermillion Signs with Paragon

This week, we’ve seen a new signing announced for Paragon esports. The org already operates teams in quite a few games like Tekken and Guilty Gear. Their rosters include some big players like phiDX, FlashMetroid, and JoeCrush. They’ve made another new addition with ScrawtVermillion.

This new player defiantly brings some prestige to the squad. ScrawtVermillion is one of the best players active in anime fighting games, and he’s been on fire this year. In the last year alone, he’s won First Attack 2023, CEOTaku 2023, CEO 2023, and Combo Breaker. That’s along with a 5-6th place finish at EVO in Melty blood.

It isn’t just Melty Blood he’s active in though. He’s had some results in FighterZ, Granblue Fantasy, and even DNF Duel. Having talent across all of these games definitely help to expand the titles Paragon are operating in. They might be taking home quite a few major titles for Melty Blood in 2024.

Increasingly, orgs are looking to sign more fighting game players. Paragon already have a decent roster. With signing ScrawtVermillion though, they’re definitely at the highest level of fighting game esports for next year.
