Execration will be looking to bring the experience from its impressive WePlay AniMajor run in a last attempt to qualify for $40 million (over P1 billion) The International 10 later this month.
Coach Kimuel “Kim0” Borromeo Rodis’ Execration crew pulled off surprising results but were not enough to push them past the wild card stage of the AniMajor in Kiev, Ukraine.
The Filipino squad finished fourth with a 4-6 win-loss record in the six-team wild card wherein the top two teams in Vici Gaming and Team Nigma advanced to the group stage.
After forcing draws against ONE Esports Singapore Major champion Invictus Gaming, AS Monaco Gambit and Vici, Execration went off to a hot start in the second day by thrashing Team Secret with a 31-5 scoreline in Game 1 that lasted for only 33 minutes on Thursday night, June 3.

Rising offlaner Nikko “Nikko” Bilocura’s Doom powered Execration to a 2-0 sweep over Fnatic in the Dota Pro Circuit (DPC) Season 2-Southeast Asia Upper Division tiebreaker to qualify for the second Major of the year on Saturday, May 22.
Nikko’s signature Doom shone throughout the series, hitting multiple Doom disables on Fnatic cores as Execration entered the Wild Card stage of the WePlay AniMajor set in Kiev, Ukraine on June 2 to 13.
It was a big feat for one of the pioneer esports organizations in the Philippines as it marked its first Major qualification since the Boston Major in 2016.

Execration made quick work of Mongolia’s Lilgun, 2-0, on Wednesday, May 19, to close its impressive Dota Pro Circuit (DPC) Season 2-Southeast Asia Upper Division campaign and remain in the race to the second Major of the year.
Emerging carry Jinn “Palos” Lamatao’s Lifestealer was a monster in the series opener while offlaner Nikko “Nikko” Bilocura’s Doom and position-4 support Carlo “BDz” Manalo’s Grimstroke took charge in the clincher.
Execration finished with a 4-3 win-loss record in the eight-team Upper Division to forge at least a tiebreaker match for the third place which guarantees a Wild Card spot in the WePlay AniMajor slated June 2 to 13 in Kyiv, Ukraine.

If there’s someone to commend for Execration’s recent success in the Dota Pro Circuit (DPC) Season 2-Southeast Asia Upper Division, it has to be the Filipino Dota veteran Abeng “Abeng” Dicdican.
Execration position-4 support Don Carlo “BDz” Manalo bared that Abeng, a former carry and mid player of Execration back in the 2014-2015 era, is working as the team’s analyst.
On top of that, the legendary player and good friend of Exe coach Kimuel “Kim0” Borromeo Rodis is serving as the motivational speaker for BDz and the crew.
“Having our new analyst is really a good addition for us. He’s the one making the team jel. He’s giving a speech for us and it’s really helpful,” BDz told the PGL panelists following Execration’s 2-0 sweep of Smart Omega on Wednesday night, April 28.
Looking to have adjusted quickly to the new 7.29 patch, Execration came through with a 3-0 sweep of Smart Omega to rule the Moon Studio Spring Trophy and flex its muscle ahead of the Dota Pro Circuit (DPC) Season 2-Southeast Asia Upper Division.
