BennyQT bares Echo used Season 9 heartbreak to right the ship


It felt like déjà vu when Echo succumbed to a 2-0 loss at the hands of TNC Pro Team during their Week 6 match-up, sending the reigning world champions to their second loss in three games.

The Orcas looked like they had drowned in dangerous waters recently, after six consecutive wins to start the season reminiscent of their Season 9 campaign. There, they suffered a 1-4 record in the final three weeks after leading the league standings for much of that season.

But Echo seemed to have learned their lessons this time, as the management quickly arranged a team meeting to discuss the loss.

“Yung pagkatalo po namin sa TNC, inagapan po agad ng management namin.

“Nabanggit nila na mag-open forum po kami so ayun po hindi na namin pinapalagpas, unlike nung Season 9 na may times na medyo napag-iwanan na kami pero nag-go with the flow lang kami sa dati naming ginagawa. Pero ngayon, nag-adjust na kami,” shared M4 MVP Benedict “Bennyqt” Gonzales.

During their Season 9 campaign, the team dubbed as the “Super Team” failed to meet expectations and suffered from an early exit during the playoffs. They are not leaving any stone unturned this time, with lessons from a bitter past and their world championship experience.

“Sobrang natuto na kami doon [Season Nine]. Syempre, ayaw na naming maulit yung nangyari na top one kami tapos kami rin yung unang nalaglag,” continued Bennyqt.

Echo (9-3) currently sits second in the standings with 24 points and will have a chance to secure an upper bracket berth in Week 8 against Smart Omega and RSG Slate Philippines.
