343 replaces Rapy in Execration for Boston Major

Adam Erwann Shah “343” bin Akhtar Hussein joins Execration for the Boston Major, moving Rafael “Rapy” Sicat Palo into the substitute role. Valve’s substitute role allows for an addition of any player for the Major. Execration were directly invited to participate in the Main event after claiming championship title at MPGL.

Adam Erwann Shah “343” bin Akhtar Hussein has joined Execration for the Boston Major, moving Rafael “Rapy” Sicat Palo into the substitute role.

Execration had been directly invited to participate in the Boston Major, after claiming the championship title at MPGL in early September.

The new substitute role allows this change to take place effortlessly. Any player that is not attending the major may join any team already confirmed as the substitute. Primary and substitute players can swap roles as long as the primary player agrees.

In an interview with Pao Bago 343 stated that although he is replacing Rapy

I will most definitely be playing a support role. We will have a meeting when I get to the Philippines to talk about how we want to approach the game and that will decide whether I will play the 4 or the 5.

Good news for all of his fans who have enjoyed watching him flourish in the role, and for fans of the offlane plays of Djardel “DJ” Mampusti.

Both 343 and DJ were teammates on Fnatic for TI6.

Execration’s victory in the SEA Regional Qualifiers secured them at least a trip to Seattle for the TI6 Wild Card series – becoming part of Filipino and TI history as one of two teams from the Philippines to attend The International.

In the post TI6 shuffle Djardel “DJ” Mampusti left Fnatic only hours after the first phase of the new Fall Major team registration began.

Within the same 24 hours it was surprising for many to see Fernando “Nando” Mendoza and Ralph Richard “RR” Peñano were let go from Execration.

The team recruited DJ and Kim “Gabbi” Villafuerte Santos from Acion Arena – and seems to be shaping up to be a new threat in the region.

For the new season they have taken first place at MPGL.
