Benedict “BennyQt” Gonzales took over with perfect showings in the last two games as ECHO sent Todak packing with a 3-1 victory in the quarterfinals of the MLBB Southeast Asia Cup at the Aeon Mall Mean Chey in Phnom Penh in Cambodia on Friday, June 16.

Failing to complete a backdoor play that could have given ECHO a commanding 2-0 lead in Game 2, BennyQt was simply unstoppable in  signature picks Wanwan and Karrie in Games 3 and 4 to close out the series and march into the Final Four.

BennyQt first unloaded a perfect 7-0-8 line on the Wanwan in Game 3 as the Orcas broke a 1-1 deadlock with a dominant 19-4 win.

The veteran gold laner took advantage of the space given to him by Sanford “Sanford” Vinuya on the Joy and Alston “Sanji” Pabico on the Valentina. The two anchored the relentless map pressure that starved the Malaysian champions of their resources.

BennyQt got his mid game power spike and simply dominated every clash en route to the convincing win.

ECHO kept its foot on the gas pedal in Game 4 as the Orcas rammed through the enemy lines with BennyQt on the Karrie and Sanji on the Valentina leading the charge.

The Filipino champions scored a nine-minute wipeout after a huge clash down bottom lane and never looked back since then, closing out the series with a convincing 18-1 triumph.

BennyQt finished with a clean 7-0-3 line while Sanji added a 7-0-5 KDA.

It was actually ECHO which drew first blood in the series with an 18-4 win in Game 1 behind the Karl “Karltzy” Nepomuceno’s signature Lancelot pick which finished a perfect 5-0-6 line.

Becoming overconfident in Game 2, ECHO squandered a huge early game gold and kill lead, allowing Todak to drag the game to the late game. Muhammad "CikuGais" Fuad took over with his Claude pick in the late game as Todak denied the backdoor play of BennyQt to tie the game with a 14-23 comeback win.
