ZOWIE Cups

After the rebranding of Excello we have been doing our best to host tournaments in various European countries. So far these tournaments have been a great success and we'd like to expand into new games and more tournaments!

Excello has some great prizes to offer the community and we would like to see you guys winning them! However for tournaments to take place we need tournament admins and for this reason we announcing new tournament admin positions.

You may have seen our tournaments in Portugal, Sweden, Romania and Poland so far. If you want these tournaments to come to your country, or you want to see them happen more often - take the initiative! Excello is looking for tournament admins for Counter-Strike 1.6, Counter Strike: Source, Team Fortress 2, Quake Live, Warsow and Heroes of Newerth.

For those who on a consistent basis can organize successful tournaments there are many perks. So don't hesitate and apply for a position today: alberto.duarte@excello.net
