Three months ago the team known as Finnish Royalty moved to Excello and have slowly been acquiring a reputation for themselves despite having not attended a major LAN under the name yet.

Despite having kept a solid roster for some time, the team has now decided to make a change ahead of the upcoming LAN season. Whether this is a statement of intent about their possible attendance at some of the events in the calendar would be anyone's guess.

Marko "Owa" Mattila makes way for Finnish veteran OlliMatti "delonge" Vehkalahti, who only recently returned to action when attending the Winter Assembly 2010 as part of a mix-team, primarily made up of former zOo members.

He had the following to say regarding his return:

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.

Team Captain, Juha "aNGeldusT" Kurppa added:

The teams and Owa's objectives in game differed too much, so we had to start thinking about alternatives. We had a shortlist of players to replace Owa and finally decided that the best person for the job would be mr. OlliMatti "delonge" Vehkalahti. The team wishes Marko all the best in his future endeavours and gladly welcomes Olli-Matti on board.

Excello are now:

Ville "cisU" Leppälä
Olli "kononen" Salmi
OlliMatti "delonge" Vehkalahti
Juha "aNGeldusT" Kurppa
Christer "nashje" Loukas
