Excel enter their second week of the season, and the players start to miss home. YoungBuck feels there’s a stigma in the gaming community for those who have a girlfriend.

Following a euphoric win in their first match, Excel face Rogue in their second match. But with the main investor watching on, and expectation mounting, will they be able to keep their early lead in the tables? 

Mid-laner Mickey faced a backlash from the gaming community at his last team. This is his chance for redemption – can he prove his critics wrong in Excel’s third match against Mad Lions? 

Excel coach Joey ‘YoungBuck’ lives in Berlin and stays separately to the players. At home with his partner and their dog, YoungBuck feels there’s a stigma in the gaming community for those who have a girlfriend.  

Back at the gaming house, the players open up about the difficulties of being away from home, juggling relationships and having the confidence to date. Patrik was going to start a Tinder profile when they got to Berlin, but he pulls out.

Can Excel beat Misfits in their next game to cement their place as contenders?
