UK org exceL eSports have revealed a fresh line-up for their CSGO team.
The roster is as follows:

• Tom ‘Jenko’ Jenkinson
• James ‘Kryptix’ Affleck
• Josh ‘mole’ Rowley
• Jesper ‘Jesp’ Johansson
• Mick ‘MCK’ McDonald
• Connor ‘Sliggy’ Blomfield (coach)

Last year xL achieved a 5th/6th place finish at their first LAN tournament – epic.LAN 18 – and won their group at i-series.
The org said in a statement: “2016 was a steady year of growth for the fledgling exceL eSports CSGO team. A busy 2017 is ahead, with the ESL UK Premiership, UK Masters, iSeries and epic.LAN being the cream of the tournaments we hope to be part of.
“We are looking to build on our growth and establish exceL as a premier UK Counter-Strike organisation.”
There’s more details of specific players in the roster on the exceL eSports website.
