The noise of victory always echoes... The Filipino team has shown their worth by winning the Mobile Legends: Bang Bang World Championship M4. Despite being cornered by Blacklist International in the Lower Bracket, the new champion proved that they were in the tournament to take home the trophy by surpassing all expectations and defeating the defending champion with a score of 4-0.
"We feel very proud of this achievement and grateful for the support of our friends, families, and fans," said Mitch Liwanag, Country Manager, ECHO (Philippines). "The team has come a long way after qualifying for M4, and this victory marks an incredible start to the year. We will continue to strive to prove the doubters wrong and to remain the best of all time." The victory also marked a crucial moment for Sanford and Sanji, who made epic advancements in their first international appearance, and for Karltzy by winning the championship twice.

Benniygt, player of ECHO, obtained the MVP (Most Valuable Player) by dominating the gold lane throughout the competition. The champions broke Blacklist's famous UBE (Ultimate Bonding Experience) strategy, which proposes staying united as much as possible and moving as a unit throughout team fights, by targeting Hadji and Oheb and decoding the code with their selection of heroes.
ECHO will get the majority of the combined prize pool of $800,000, the opportunity to choose the appearance of the M4 Championship winner, a UBS gold ring with an exclusive design, and a championship tour organized by the Ministry of Tourism and Creative Economy of Indonesia.
