Benedict “BennyQt” Gonzales took charge as Liquid ECHO shrugged off Malaysian team Homebois and essayed a convincing 2-0 sweep to seize the top seed of its group in the 2024 MLBB Mid-Season Cup at the Esports World Cup at the Amazon Arena in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia on Friday, July 5.

BennyQt ran wild on the gold lane picks Beatrix and Roger and led the assault for the M4 World Champions who swept all of their assignments in the group stage for a perfect 3-0 record. 

The Filipinos were already assured of a spot in the playoffs even before the contest after also sweeping Team Spirit in their own series earlier in the day.

Liquid ECHO did face some challenge against the aggressive playstyle of Homebois, but the Filipinos were hardly bothered especially with BennyQt reaching his power spike early in the contest.

BennyQt snowballed and was virtually untouchable on the Beatrix to finish with a monster 10-1-1 KDA. He, however, wouldn’t be able to do it if not for Sanji “Sanji” Pabico on his Pharsa and Jaypee “Jaypee” Dela Cruz on the Floryn providing the protection.

Sanji chipped in a 2-0-11 KDA while Jaypee tallied an impressive 0-1-15 line in the 17-5 Game 1 domination.

Liquid ECHO showed no letup from there, completing a five-man wipeout of Homebois in the the Lord dance at the 11th minute mark. The Malaysian managed to respawn in time to defend their base but the Filipinos, aided by a BennyQt triple kill, scored another wipeout to cap the sweep with a 27-8 onslaught.

BennyQt finished with a 10-1-4 line on the Roger while Jaypee provided the setup plays on his Chip to add a 4-2-15 KDA. Sanji also shone on the Xavier with a 6-1-17 scoreline as Sanford “Sanford” Vinuya had a 6-1-13 KDA.
