Excel Esports might be making some major changes

According to esports writer Alejandro Gomis, the club is purportedly parting ways with head coach Joey "YoungBuck" Steltenpool and assistant coach Sng "Nelson" Yi Wei to make room for new management at the U.K.-based business. Who will be the two coaches' replacements for the forthcoming Spring Split is yet unknown. Due to the comparatively promising amount of firepower Excel Esports possessed on paper before the new year, many people held the new team in high respect.

With players like Odoamne, Vetheo, Patrik, Targamas, and Xerxe on the squad, the ceiling for a newly formed club was considered to be a title contender by many observers and fans. But when the split got underway, the group found it difficult to put the jigsaw pieces together. The squad was strong in terms of individual talents, but they were unable to develop a strategy that worked with the quality they had available.
