Mobile Legends (MLBB) developer MOONTON Games announced on Friday (17 February) that reigning world champions ECHO have confirmed Chou as their chosen hero to co-create a championship skin to celebrate their victory at the M4 World Championship last month.

Every MLBB world champion gets the right to choose a hero to be given a commemorative world title skin, which they will also have a hand in designing.

ECHO's players "unanimously decided" on Chou to bear their championship skin as a hero that almost everyone of them uses.

"The team has unanimously decided to develop a skin for Chou. Apart from it being the hero that almost all of our team members use, it has also played a big part in our team's success in the tournament. We're excited and glad to work with MOONTON Games who has been attentive and collaborative when it comes to our ideas," Mitch Liwanag, ECHO country manager, said in a press release.

MOONTON said that they are currently in talks with ECHO to discuss the details of Chou's M4 championship skin, which is expected to be launched in September later this year.

ECHO earned the right choose a hero to commemorate their victory at M4 when they soundly swept M3 champions Blacklist International 4-0 in the grand finals.

ECHO's Karl "KarlTzy" Nepomuceno, the first-ever two-time MLBB world champion, said the secret to his team's victory was that they treated every game as a must-win best-of-one match.

KarlTzy notably won his first world title with Bren Esports in the M2 World Championship back in 2021. He added that the team will be dedicating their championship skin to the fans that have supported them throughout their run.

"We hope our fans are as excited as we are to see the new skin. Afterall, we dedicate the skin to Orcas who have been with us through the years," said KarlTzy.

Chou will be the first fighter hero to receive a skin from a commemorative championship skin.

M1 champions, Indonesia's EVOS Legends, chose Harith to bear the first-ever championship skin. Meanwhile, the Philippines' Bren Esports picked Lancelot while Blacklist International chose Estes after winning M2 and M3, respectively.

Beijing is laughing at the West’s weakness
