I can do better...luctor  is a deponent verb, i.e. it looks passive but translates in the active voice.  The best common phrase to use as an example is non sequitur.  Based on the examples of deponent verbs laid out in my Oxford Latin dictionary, the present indicative participle of luctor should be luctans, not luctandus, which I take to mean "one who must be wrasslin'."  Ergo, the phrase I believe you're seeking is "Cervus Luctans Excellentiam Reperiet," after also taking into account that excellentia needs, as the object in this sentence, to take the accusative, as well as to conjugate reperio properly in the third person singular, future indicative active.
 
So there.
 
ETA: Oops, I guess it's supposed to be present tense.  Oh well, I always preferred invenit in such situations anyway.
 
Bottom line, Giant Bomb: English-to-Latin translations.  Ur doin dem wrong.

" @Grissefar:   Colluctatio Cervus Reperio Excellantia 
 
Something like "Wrestling Deer Seeks Excellence". 
 
BTW, Giant Bomb Crew, that Latin is totally wrong.  You can't just plug some words into an online translator and expect that it will return correct Latin grammar and syntax.  Colluctatio is a noun , not an adjective, meaning "a wrestling or a struggle" 
 
http://www.perseus.tufts.edu/hopper/text?doc=Perseus:text:1999.04.0059:entry%3Dcolluctatio  
 
Reperio is the first person singular present indicative of reperio, reperire meaning "to find again, find, discover"  but here it's as if you said "I discover" rather than "he, she or it discovers" or reperit. 
 http://www.perseus.tufts.edu/hopper/text?doc=Perseus:text:1999.04.0060:entry%3Dreperio 
 http://www.verbix.com/webverbix/go.php?T1=reperio&imageField.x=9&imageField.y=11&D1=9&H1=109  And it's also Excellentia, not Excellantia  Should be more like  "Cervus Luctandus Excellentia Reperit"  Gerundive of "luctor" for wrestling. Adjectives follow their nouns.  Verbs generally occur at the end of a sentence.  And that's your Latin lesson for the day.  "

You're not serving your purpose by having not said butt boy in Latin.
 
Also, who says that?

This Quick Look somehow totally got me interested in Starcraft II, I'll be picking it up as soon as I play enough DoW II to feel like I can win at an RTS game.
