Three months ago the prestigious force then known as Finnish Royalty teamed up with Excello to represent the organisation in Counter-Strike: Source. The team has sticked together with the five original members for a while now, but has now encountered a need for change.

Marko 'owa' Mattila will be replaced by another truly experienced Finn, Olli-Matti 'delonge' Vehkalahti, as owa did not share similar views concerning the team's future with the rest of the team.

A statement by the new Excello player, Olli-Matti 'delonge' Vehkalahti:
Attending winter assembly with a mixteam brought back my interest and hunger for the game. I knew the only way I would get back was with a topteam, and i feel extremely lucky to be able to join Excello as such. I look forward to competing at the highest level again with these guys.

*Update*

After demolishing Blight cs on de_dust2, excello.ZOWIE continued their amazing winning streak against Loaded CS. Although the match was much closer, excello.ZOWIE was never really threatened and took the match with relative ease, 16-11.

After last nights blow out victory over Blight cs, excello.ZOWIE will look to continue their success taking on Loaded CS tonight. Last night was Excello's first match of the season on de_dust2, and boy did they look convincing. After winning the first half in convincing fashion (12-3), Excello did not look back and went on to win 16-3. 

Tonight Excello will take on a second to last Loaded squad. Loaded is a big surprise this season. Unfortunately for all of the wrong reasons. Loaded was expected to be a front runner this season, especially with their pickup of ex-compLexity awper, Scott "evolution" Cavallero. Unfortunately however, Loaded is currently sporting a 2-6 record, good enough to only earn them 11th place. 

Although the standings might make you think otherwise, Loaded is still a team Excello should be wary of. The majority of the Loaded roster has played for powerhouse organizations such as compLexity, EG, and x3o back when x3o was a top Counter-Strike team in the United States. These players still know how to make it happen, and they are not by any means washed-up. This should be a much closer match than last night folks!

 *Update*

excello.ZOWIE truly showed why they are North America's #1 team in tonights match against Blight cs. Blight really never troubled excello.ZOWIE as Excello was able to close out the match quite quickly with a 16-3 score. Good game to both teams!

Tonight excello.ZOWIE's #1 spot is put on the line as they will go up against Blight cs in an ESEA Invite Regular Season match on de_dust2. excello.ZOWIE has been leading the North American Counter-Strike scene for the majority of the season, and they will look to continue their 5 match win streak tonight.

Blight cs currently stands in the middle of the pack with a 4-4 record. Although they were just barely able to beat teams such as undertow, they did pull wins over really solid teams such as YummY and 9StorM. This is certainly a worthy opponent that excello.ZOWIE can not underestimate. 

With Evil Geniuses right on their heels, excello.ZOWIE will not be able to afford to drop this match if they want to take the #1 spot into the ESEA Playoffs. You can look forward to a great match tonight!

WOW! The past few weeks here at Excello have been full of new and exciting things. A few months ago we announced ZOWIE GEAR had become a sponsor and ever since we have been growing and expanding rapidly. We feel like this is a great time to update you on what we have been working on here at Excello for the past few months. 

First off, you can expect a new website this year. The website will be much more functional than our current one, and will give our organization a new refreshed look. And with our new partners for 2010 we will be running more tournaments in many various games for our community to participate in. Each tournament will feature great prizes for you guys to win!

However, all this cannot be done without community help. And this is why we are calling on you guys to make this happen. Excello is looking to hire News Writers as well as Tournament Admins for 2010. If you think this is for you, and you would like to gain experience working with Excello, we urge you to take this chance today.
