ECHO Changes Roster For MSC Due To 'Discrepancies in Requirements'

On Wednesday, ECHO surprised fans by making a lineup adjustment just days after revealing their official roster for the highly anticipated 2023 Mobile Legends: Bang Bang Southeast Asia Cup.

The reigning MPL PH champion earlier shared that MDL standouts Justine “Zaida” Palma and Jaypee “Jaypee” Dela Cruz, who both play for ECHO Proud, will join their main five in the regional meet.

Instead, the team rostered Jian “Jian” Magtibay, who was the lone reserve of ECHO in Season 11.
