EXCEL Esports Announces Roster with plans to Join VCT: Game Changers 2023

With plans to participate in the prestigious VCT: Game Changers, EXCEL GC has announced its first female Valoroant roster. This marks the beginning of a journey in esports that will allow them to inspire and empower the next generation of female gamers. As members of N1MP, the players are already close friends off the field, allowing them to develop a more robust level of communication and teamwork. They are joined by former Acend Rising player, Samantha "Samsi" Caddell and former Rix.GG Lightning player, Daniela "Jupi" Gradl.

Tim Reichert, the Chief Operating Officer of EXCEL Esports, said “Over the course of the Game Changers Championships, we have seen so many inspiring stories that female players across the world could identify with. At EXCEL, we want to offer something new to show young female players a path into esports and believe through signing an existing squad who work well together competitively and socially, we could help and support them to being the best they could be. We hope that this will encourage more female gamers to get into esports and our success will come from our dedication to developing the scene”

“We’re investing heavily in our players and are forming the infrastructure around what works best for them because we’re confident in their potential to dominate the competition,” said Kevin ‘Noizeeh’ Jaskiewicz, EXCEL Esports' Valorant Team Manager.

Pete Jeavons, the Marketing Communications Director of EE commented: “EE is proud to be the lead partner of EXCEL’s Game Changers team, EXCEL’s first ever elite female team. This is the first step in working towards our partnership ambitions with EXCEL, enhancing opportunities and access for female gamers across the industry.”
