The Excelsior first acquired Fl0w3R back in 2017 when they signed he and his teammates from LuxuryWatch Blue. As a result of being too young to join the Overwatch League's inaugural season, it was then revealed that Fl0w3R would be a member of the team's Contenders roster once Contenders returned to play.
However, when the Excelsior's academy team was originally announced Fl0w3R was not a part of it. Instead, he would join the team midway through Contenders Season 1 where he would remain until today's signing.
While with XL2 Academy, Fl0w3R split time on DPS with Mangachu and Nenne. He and his team made it to the playoffs of Contenders North America both seasons, finishing second in Contenders Season 2.
Fl0w3R is the first offseason addition for the New York Excelsior. Their only other offseason roster change thus far was the release of janus.
