A day after Bren Esports conquered the M2 Mobile Legends: Bang Bang World Championship, former PBA star Jayjay Helterbrand and free agent Sol Mercado paid a visit to the renowned organization's headquarters. 

Helterbrand posted on Monday night an Instagram photo showing him and Mercado together with Bren's founder and chief executive Bernard "Bren" Chong and chief operating officer Jab Escutin. 

Also with them were operations manager Jeff Victoriano and coach Ralph Andrei "Leathergoods" Llabres. 

"Congratulations to Bren Esports for winning the ML World Championship and for giving me and @m3rcmywords (Sol Mercado) a tour of the headquarters!" said the 44-year-old Helterbrand in the caption. 

"@iambrenchong (Bren Chong) congratulations on making history!" added ex-Barangay Ginebra stalwart. 

Bren pulled off a thrilling 4-3 victory over Burmese Ghouls of Myanmar in the grand finals that went down the wire to win the country's first world title in Moonton's popular mobile MOBA (multiplayer online battle arena) game. 

The black and yellow squad also took home the $140,000 (over P6.7 million) lion's share of the prize pool. 

Located in Makati, the Bren HQ features spacious common area, events and gaming areas, sleeping quarters and gym open for 24 hours, among others.
