Yawi’s Chou Tips: M4 Champion’s Guide

When ECHO lifted the M4 World Championship trophy, the story that shined brightest was Tristan “Yawi” Cabrera’s dominant performance on tank Chou. After years of refining his play in competitive Mobile Legends, Yawi cemented his status as the best Chou player on the global stage. His impact was so significant that Chou received the M4 championship skin—the first time a fighter hero earned that honor.

Yawi’s journey was part of a larger narrative: KarlTzy’s shift from assassin to utility junglers, and the rise of newcomers Sanford and Sanji. But for roamers and Ranked players, the lessons from Yawi’s Chou are what truly matter.

Three Tips from the Chou God

In an exclusive M4 interview, Yawi shared three principles for mastering the Kung-Fu Boy. First, never spam Jeet Kune Do (his first skill). Higher-ranked opponents can predict it easily, so save it for crucial moments. Second, use bushes to surprise enemies and land the third-cast stun—never use the skill openly in their vision. Third, and most important for any roamer, prioritize map awareness. These aren’t just for tank Chou; they transfer to every roaming role.

Practice and Study

If you already know how to play Chou, Yawi stresses that repetition is key. Play the hero repeatedly in Ranked matches. Watch how pros use him in competitive settings—studying their positioning and timing will sharpen your instincts. There are no shortcuts; consistent practice and observation are what separate a good Chou from a world champion.
