Only a few days have passed since Execration ended its campaign in the inaugural season of the Dota Pro Circuit (DPC)-Southeast Asia Upper Division, but the team is already gearing up for the next one.
After a botched bid to qualify for the Singapore Major, Execration revamped its roster with the reacquisition of veteran Fernando “Nando” Mendoza and rising star Jinn “Palos” Lamatao for the second DPC season.
The team announced the development through a Facebook post on Sunday, Feb. 28.
Nando, known as a carry, replaced offlaner Glenard “Rupido” Rugay while Palos retained his position-1 role.
A true esports professional player that he is, T1's veteran offlaner Carlo "Kuku" Palad did not take the negative comments about his forgettable performance in the Dota Pro Circuit (DPC)-Southeast Asia Upper Division tiebreaker against Neon Esports too seriously.

Neon Esports came back roaring from a series opening loss to trample on T1, 2-1, in the Dota Pro Circuit (DPC)-Southeast Asia Upper Division tiebreaker for the Singapore Major group stage spot on Saturday night, Feb. 27.
With its back against the wall after the Game 1 defeat, Neon went to the deadly duo of 10K MMR midlaner Erin Jasper “Yopaj” Ferrer’s Void Spirit and 11K MMR carry John Anthony “Natsumi-” Vargas’ Io to score a 40-13 victory in 47 minutes in Game 2.
Yopaj slashed his way to 20 kills and 14 assists against four deaths while Natsumi finished with 10 kills and 18 assists with only a single death.
Fnatic just found an answer to tame the scary Morphling of TNC Predator carry Kim “Gabbi” Santos.
Behind a crowd control heavy lineup, Fnatic denied TNC’s Morphling-Spiritbreaker duo in Game 2 before Filipino carry Polo “Raven” Fausto’s Phantom Assassin took charge in the decider for a 2-1 victory in the Dota Pro Circuit (DPC)-Southeast Asia Upper Division on Wednesday night, Feb. 24.
TNC was actually able to draw first blood in the crucial “SEA El Clasico” match with the insane combo of Gabbi’s Morphlng and captain-hard support Kim “Febby” Yong Min’s Spiritbreaker charging their way against Fnatic for a 29-12 victory in 35 minutes.
