ECHO was crowned champion of the M4 World Championship. They have proven their mettle throughout the tournament and was able to win the Mobile Legends: Bang Bang world title convincingly.
Defeating the defending champion, Blacklist International 4-0, it would seem that the Orcas have finally broken the code.
This is ECHO’s first world championship title, and the second time for Karl “KarlTzy” Nepomuceno to raise the M-Series trophy, becoming the first 2-time MLBB world champion.
Aside from the pride that comes with the title and being recognized as the best MLBB team in the world, ECHO also received the lion’s share of M4’s prize pool.
The champion will be taking home US$300,000 out of the US$800,000 prize pool — but how do the players plan to spend the large sum? We find out more.
