TNC Predator has added Bok and Carlo to its Dota 2 roster, deviating from its original plan of building mostly around rising talents.
The Southeast Asian multi-gaming organization of Philippine net cafe chain TheNet.Com has finalized its new roster by signing Juan “Carlo” Manalo and Jun “Bok” Kanehara.
As a result, TNC Predator now boasts a standard mix of players with different levels of experience. This decision to pivot away from its original plans is a result of the previous roster’s poor showing.
To recall, the pro gaming team saw a drop to Division II in the 2022 Dota Pro Circuit’s Winter Tour.
TNC Predator Signs Bok & Carlo
Bok will be returning to TNC following a brief stint away from the team. Back in Sept., Bok and the rest of TNC’s 2021 lineup was released citing the squad’s failure to qualify for The International 10, as per a Dot Esports report.
Ahead of joining the team, Carlo was playing the Winter Tour with Execration. However, he left the team on Jan. 23 after the regional league came to an end.

Carlo will be teaming up again with Yuri “Yowe” Pacaña on TNC. To recall, the duo has played together nearly the entire 2021 on Execration’s previous squad.
Levi “YoungGod” Lagaret and Yowe form the young core behind veteran captain Febby. TNC is counting on the Canadian professional Dota 2 player. The team is hoping he will lead the newly formed roster back into SEA’s Division I during the impending DPC Tour.
