GiantX has two League of Legends divisions: one that competes in the League of Legends EMEA Championship (LEC), the top level of professional League of Legends in Europe, the Middle East, and Africa, and an academy team that competes in the LVP Superliga [es], the top level of professional League of Legends in Spain. The organisation also fields two Valorant teams one that competes in the Valorant Champions Tour (VCT) EMEA, and another that competes in VCT Game Changers.
GiantX was formed in December 2023 as a result of the merger between Excel Esports and Giants Gaming, with Excel CEO Tim Reichert and Giants CEO Jose Diaz becoming co-CEOs of the company. The merged organisation retained all talent, rosters, and content creators from both teams and will compete in the League of Legends EMEA Championship (LEC) and the Valorant Champions Tour (VCT) EMEA League. Prior to the merger, Excel Esports was known for its LEC roster, while Giants Gaming was a partner team for the VCT EMEA in Valorant. The organization kept all of its employees, and maintained regional headquarters in both London, United Kingdom, and Málaga, Spain, with competitive performance center located in Berlin, Germany. It also retained its commercial partners. JRJ Group, which obtained a majority stake in Excel in 2018 along with Toms Capital, retained its position as the controlling shareholder in the newly formed organisation.[1][2][3]
