Whats your opinions on EXCEL I think they are a very good team but not nearly T1 level the reason why I think this, is because when we see them platy we can always see that they crumble under pressure even though some of these players have been here since the start of Valorant back in 2020.
EXCEL has played in many tournaments and have got decent to good placements in most of them like:
Valorant Regional League Northern Europe: Polaris- Stage 1 and 2
EXCEL came first in both tournaments seeing that they were the best team in the League making them the top candidate, for Finals against every other League Champion in the Valorant Regionals and qualifying for VCT Promotion in Stage 1 and qualifying for Finals in Stage 2 showed how dominant they are in the Valorant scene.
Valorant Regional League 2022: Finals
EXCEL sadly got grouped in the Valorant Regional League Finals but still shown some amazing gameplay, with only 2 matches underneath their belt against Case Esports and Team Vitality which both of these teams came 2nd and 3rd in the whole tournament.
Red Bull Home Ground #3 EMEA Swiss Qual and Closed Qual
During the VCT OFF SEASON there have been smaller tournaments and this tournament was one of them and EXCEL, went straight through the Swiss Qual stage and got themselves a spot in the Closed Qual but sadly fell short in the Semi finals where they lost to BIG.
EXCEL has a very good roster but they still had a lot of problems aswell like their coaching staff and possibly bad mental, and if they work on it I can see them winning the Ascendant tournament and qualifying for the franchised league.
Their roster consists of:
FoxieGG
Moe40
chiwawa
paTiTek
ALIVE
But sadly there was talks of ALIVE getting signed to another org for the franchised league.
