Echo sustains immaculate run with sweep of RSG in MPL PH S9


Echo showed nerves of steel in a tight showdown against RSG Philippines to score their 5th straight win via a 2-0 sweep in Week 3 of the Mobile Legends: Bang Bang Professional League (MPL) Philippines Season 9 on Saturday.

Despite the sweep, Echo had to weather a pesky RSG side with both games going down the wire before the former two-time champions showed poise in the late games to hike their win-loss card to 6-0 (14pts) and stay on top of the standings.

RSG pulled ahead early in Game 1 courtesy of a 5-3 kill lead and a 3k net worth advantage by the 7th minute.

But Echo simply retaliated with a 3-0 wipe during the 12th minute lord fight to reverse the gold deficit and take control of the map.

Benedict “Bennyqt” Gonzales (Paquito) then scored a double kill to spearhead a 2-0 wipe followed by a 15th minute lord take that put them up, 1-0.

Game 2 was no different as no team was able to land decisive blows in skirmishes in the early and midgame.

It took another crucial 16th minute double kill from Bennyqt (Beatrix) and an all-important luminous lord take, to complete the sweep.

He finished with a perfect 5-0-6 KDA.

RSG slid to their second straight loss for a 3-2 (9pts) record.
