Team Liquid ECHO becomes the first Filipino representative to Mobile Legends: Bang Bang’s biggest esports event ever.
This, after the Filipino Cavalry scored a huge win in a 5-game best-of-5 upper bracket finals, 3-2.
Seemingly silencing people who bashed him for what critics called his faults, roamer Jaypee “Jaypee” dela Cruz made a crucial pickoff in the game-winning decider.
Jaypee got 10 assists aside from a kill in the game-clinching series. The game-winning match started out when Marco “Super Marco” Requitiano pounced for an early triple in the fourth minute, coupled with map presence.
However, Liquid ECHO was on top form and waited for the perfect moment to upend the Hive’s momentum during the 20th minute, in a typical Filipino MLBB tactic of Lord dancing.
The game started out with FCAP on top, conceding only two deaths while taking 12 kills.
By game 2, Liquid ECHO unleashed their aggression and literally rode the wave by showing how they can become momentum shifters. They were able to take the Lord in 8 minutes uncontested after winning the skirmish.
Come Game 3, Liquid ECHO won against the Falcons, thanks to Karl “KarlTzy” Nepomuceno’s X.Borg that scored a 5-0-4 KDA statistics. However, Falcons AP.Bren was able to force the decider.
Liquid ECHO will face off against RSG Philippines on Saturday for the final slot to MSC 2024 and the grand finals of the MPL Philippines Season 13 championship.
