After conquering the world stage, Echo is now up for one more tall process because the Orcas open a contemporary marketing campaign within the Mobile Legends: Bang Bang Professional League (MPL) Philippines Season 11 beginning this February 17.
Echo head coach Harold “Tictac” Reyes mentioned that whereas all eyes can be on them, the grind and work will not cease, stressing they may simply keep it up with what they’ve been doing for the previous months that led to their M4 overcome compatriot Blacklist International.
“Para sa amin, this season kami nga ‘yung M4 champs pero sabi ko sa kanila, reset pa rin tayo,” Tictac mentioned.
“Kumbaga kung ano ‘yung ginagawa namin dati, ‘yun pa rin. Walang babaguhin. Grind pa rin kami everyday.”
But the job will not get any simpler for Echo, which is trying to bag its first-ever MPL crown. Tictac and assistant coach Robert “Trebor” Sanchez highlighted that RSG Slate Philippines, Bren Esports, and Nexplay Evos might be their largest threats for the upcoming season.
RSG has lately acquired the providers of jungler John Paul “H2wo” Salonga, who’s tipped to assist the Raiders reclaim the MPL throne and defend their MSC title.
H2wo will bolster a new-look RSG that can be bannered by Dylan “Light” Catipon, Nathanael “Nathzz” Estrologo, and Eman “Emann” Sangco alongside their champion head coach Brian “Panda Lim.
“‘Yung isa Bren. And siguro RSG kasi si H2wo eh. Nandon na si H2wo,” said Tictac.
For Trebor, Nexplay could be this season’s darkhorse. Nexplay has entered a new era in the local scene, letting go of its former stars in H2wo and Renejay “Renejay” Barcarse while acquiring and partnering with Minana Esports, which had been known as a staple in the amateur ranks.
“Tingin ko siguro, Minana kasi bagong pasok sila. Baka maging darkhorse sila tsaka wala rin kaming data sa kanila. Kaya siguro sila ‘yung tingin kong malakas ngayon,” mentioned Trebor.
Echo wil kick off its Season 11 in opposition to at least Blacklist with the M4 and Season 10 finalists slugging it out on the opening day at 4 p.m. on the Shooting Gallery Studios in Makati City.
