Founded back in 2014, Excel Esports began on the campus of Lancaster University as the dream of two brothers, Kieran and Joel Holmes-Darby. Five years later they would have a team inducted into the League of Legends European Championship, the LEC, the highest level of League of Legends competition in Europe. We sat down with Kieran to discuss how the idea for Excel Esports came about, where they got their inspiration and the role university played in helping form the team.
Don't forget to follow Kieran on Twitter and support Excel this weekend as they look to build upon their 2-0 score from last week. You can catch them in action against Splyce at 5pm BST this Friday and Vitality at 5pm BST this Saturday all on LoL Esports.
