Their transfers are drawing interest as both players have experience competing in the LEC and have received offers from other strong organizations. It is expected that Team GO, with these new talents and coach Aymerick “Hairost” Sergeant, will focus on achieving high results in the new season.
Xerxe's Journey: From Excel to Returning to ERL
Xerxe is a veteran of the European region, known for his performances in the LEC and LCS. After moving to NA in 2021-2022, he returned to Europe in 2022 by joining Astralis. He later joined Excel for the 2023 season, which ended unsuccessfully as the team showed weak results in winter and spring, leading to Xerxe being demoted to the ERL for the first time since 2016.
In 2024, he played for Giants in the Superliga and then joined Los Heretics, where he became one of the key players. His contribution helped Heretics secure two national titles, although the team did not meet expectations at the EMEA Masters. As the organization ended its cooperation with Xerxe, and the main roster of Heretics strengthened with a new jungler Théo "Sheo" Borile, the Romanian faced the decision of choosing a new team.
Zoelys Returns to His Home League
Théo "Zoelys" Le Scornec, after a challenging season in the LEC with Rogue, also joined Team GO. The Rogue team could not rank higher than ninth despite having big names in the lineup. Returning to the league where he debuted, Zoelys received offers from Karmine Corp Blue, Gentle Mates, Vitality.Bee, and Solary but ultimately chose Team GO. His transfer complements the revamped roster, which also welcomed Xerxe.
Specific Deal Details and Future Plans
Both deals include important nuances. In Xerxe's case, his contract with Team GO contains a special clause: he can leave the team if he receives an offer from an LEC team. This became a decisive factor in his choice, as Solary, despite being interested in the Romanian jungler, did not offer similar terms.
Team GO continues to strengthen its position in the LFL. Following successes in 2024, when the team twice made it to the top 4 at the EMEA Masters, ambitions for the next season have significantly grown. The management is banking on experienced players and the coach to compete for leadership in the league and aim for success in international tournaments.

Conclusions and Significance of Transfers
The acquisition of Xerxe and Zoelys highlights Team GO's ambitions for the 2025 season. The team is strengthening with experienced players from the LEC and ERL, which gives hope for competing for leading positions in the LFL and successful performances on international stages. If Xerxe attracts the attention of LEC teams, it could radically change the course of the season and Team GO's plans.
