ECHO Proud makes history after securing a back-to-back championship in the Mobile Legends: Bang Bang Development League – Philippines (MDL-PH) Season 2. Held fully online, the competition saw ECHO Proud dominating the best-of-five (Bo5) series against Omega Neos, taking home the most-coveted title and the biggest share of the prize pool worth USD 20,000.

With a score of 3:1, ECHO Proud was the grand champion of Season 2, with Justine “Zaida” Palma as the Grand Finals Most Valuable Player (FMVP). Omega Neos and TNZ4 settled for second and third finishes, respectively. 

ECHO Proud is comprised of Johnville “Outplayed” Villar, Santi “Santi Sucre” Noble, Mark Justine “Zaida” Palma, Jankurt Russel “KurtTzy” Matira, James “Jeymz” Gloria, and Aaren Maximos “Sindel” Palomo. Coach Ronnel Jayson “Cjay” Espinoza led the team. Despite the absence of Jaypee “Jaypee” Cruz, who is currently fielding the MPL-PH counterpart, the MDL-PH team still showcased a dominating run. 

“Pinatunayan namin na kahit wala si daddy Jaypee (sa ECHO Proud roster), ay kaya namin,” said roamer James “Jeymz” Gloria. “Yung pagiging captain material ni Jaypee yung nawala samin, kaya nag-adjust kami para magtulungan kaming lahat. Kinailangan namin magstep-up dahil nawala sya,” added Johnville “Outplayed” Villar.
