The exceL eSports side are one of the teams that few expected to be the ones to make it past their seed. Coming into the event, even we predicted little from this side, expecting them to remain non-noteworthy throughout the event.
In reality, the team were not far from a different path through the tournament with a shaky start to the group stage, drawing with Odin eSports. However, partly due to the luck of Odin going on to take another draw, the exceL side made it out of groups in the second position.
In round two they dropped to the lower bracket at the hands of Team Infused, and eventually found themselves faced with sixth seed, playhack. The playhack side are another team that were not expected to make much of an influence on the tournament, and the exceL side appeared to prove this by sending them home early and taking a top six position for themselves.
