MANILA — ECHO manager Mitch Liwanag broke her silence on the brouhaha surrounding the decision to bench Tristan "Yawi" Cabrera for most of MPL Season 12.
Miscommunication problems surfaced from their off-season tournaments such as the World Cyber Games in Korea and MSC 2023, where ECHO placed 3rd, Liwanag bared. For the longest time, the team tried to fix things internally, and it wound up with her wedged in a difficult situation, which resulted in her husband, ECHO starting roamer Jaypee "Jaypee" Dela Cruz also soaking up backlash as the community accused Liwanag of politicking.
"Si Yawi, naiintindihan ko yung nararamdaman niya. It’s very valid kasi wala naman ding problema sa laro niya, it’s just the communication. Then, every week nag-uusap kami, and I know pati sakin malaki tampo niya pero I’m trying to fix everything internally. Sinasalo ko lahat," she said. "However, nagkaroon ng 11-win streak and the coaches and players decided na ayaw nilang maputol yung momentum,” Liwanag said.
