Execration Reveals New Official Roster: Boombacs and Bok Out, Nando and Abeng In
As Filipino teams such as Rave undergo their respective roster changes in the aftermath of The International Southeast Asia (SEA) Qualifiers, veteran Dota 2 side Execration (XcTN) also go for a revamp as they add two new players to their official squad.
In an announcement on their official Facebook page, Execration announced the addition of Abeng “Abeng” Dicdican and Fernando “Nando” Mendoza into their new lineup. These two players are replacing Jun “Bok” Kanehara and Marvin “Boombacs” Rushton “due to the fact that they were far from their hometown and unable them to concentrate in the team.”
