Escalera’s story of becoming an MLBB player
The story of Escalera started by working as a crew at a fast-food restaurant named Chowking and Jollibee at the age of 18. Later he became a jeepney driver so that he can support his family financially. He loved to drive a jeepney more rather being a crew at the fast-food restaurant. He drove a jeepney as soon as he got a driving license at 19 years old. He took his father’s jeepney and from there he got to know he was capable of driving. He started to do shifts with his father and supported his family.
The Pandemic made it tough
Life of Escalera became challenging with the hit of the pandemic. His father fell ill with a stroke and his mother lost her job. The majority of the people stayed at their homes and social interactions and usage of public transport were prohibited. This worsened Escalera’s conditions and had to sell his jeepney. Soon after, he made his way to MLBB and became a pro player under Arkangel Esports.
Finally, a breakthrough for Escalera
Together with Arkangel Esports, Escalera won the Philippine Pro Gaming League, the team competed for a spot in the MPL PH Season 6 but eventually failed. TNC Pro Team saw Escalera’s performance with Arkangel Esports and recruited him for MPL PH Season 11.
