Shortly after the removal of their Finnish Counter-Strike 1.6 team, Excello have made the decision to pick up a new squad in both CS 1.6 and WC3 - both coming from Norway.
Since the dismissal of the Finnish squad,
Excello was rumoured to be concentrating more on games such as
World of Warcraft, and taking a break from
Counter Strike and the titles that are more popular within organisations. However, this news has shocked the community into knowing otherwise.
The
Excello management have stated that the move is part of a new development strategy, and that their focus is on the Norwegian "community and its development, not hiring a professional gaming team from Norway."
Good luck to both of the new squads and the
Excello organisation!
