Mark “Hadess” Lazaro played clutch as ECHO eliminated Aura Esports via a reverse 2-1 sweep in the opening round of the ONE Esports Mobile Legends: Bang Bang Professional League Invitational on Tuesday afternoon.
In the all-important Game Three, ECHO was able to force Aura out of the Luminous Lord pit entering the 25-minute mark with Jankurt “KurTzy” Matira (Paquito) and Christian “Rafflesia” Fajura zoning out.
Hadess’ Aldous then secured the Luminous Lord to complete the comeback win. He finished with four kills, three deaths, and an assist in Game Three.
Rafflesia ended up with six assists and three deaths while KurTzy added a kill and six assists against three deaths.
On the other hand, High’s 9-3-3 Ling performance went for naught as Aura once again suffered a first-round exit at the hands of the same team.
“Tingin ko Blacklist,” said Rafflesia when asked which team they want to beat in the tournament.
After dropping the opener, Hadess’ Lancelot secured crucial objectives in Game Two to help ECHO even the series at 1-all.
Hadess finished with 10 kills, three deaths, nine assists, along with two game-changing Lord steals that kept and won ECHO the crucial match. Rafflesia also provided the team with well-timed initiations on his Chou, ending up with four kills and 17 assists against four deaths.
ECHO will next go up against the winner of the RSG PH-RSG SG match on Thursday.
