They are a team of international stars who live together and train at a state-of-the-art facility at Twickenham Stadium.
Their backroom staff includes sports psychologists, nutritionists and people who have worked in football.
But these are not your traditional sports stars. They do not compete with a round or even oval ball. Their arena is international esports tournaments - playing League of Legends.
And they have to deal with the pressure of being professional players, while navigating the same coming-of-age challenges as other young men.
In a new five-part series, narrated by Peaky Blinders star Cillian Murphy, we follow upstart British team EXCEL ESPORTS as they tough it out for a play-off place in the League of Legends European Championship (LEC).

During the first weekend we said goodbye to David Beckham's Guild Esports, Barça Esports, Fadeaway, Team Singularity, Galaxy Racer - and most shockingly, the defending European Regional Champions Top Blokes who were knocked out in the first round of the Lower Bracket.
On the flip side, perfecting sweeping is rare – but Dignitas managed to do it twice within a week! Their first was Guild Esports during RLCS: The Grid, and their second was Team Singularity last weekend.

Simply put Rocket League is football with boost propelled cars. It’s all about how you manipulate your cars mechanics, how you work together as a team and how many times you can stick the big ball in the net.
Matches are three-on-three and are five minutes long, and are mostly best of five until the latter stages where it’s best of seven.
What is the RLCS X Winter Split?
There are 3 splits - Fall, Winter, Spring - each have 3 regional events leading into an international tournament. Within all these events, each team collects points that will determine whether they qualify for the World Championship.
Who should I look out for?
The RLCS X Winter Split will feature David Beckham's Guild Esports team, giving ´óÏó´«Ã½ viewers the first opportunity to see them in action.
Potentially facing his former Guild Esports Team will be Team Singularity's star signing Scrub Killa, who will join new team-mates Breezi and Hibbs as they aim to secure a spot in the winter major.
Other teams to look out for are Wolves eSports, the professional gaming arm of Premier League side Wolverhampton Wanderers, and footballing giants FC Barcelona.
