Apeks complete lineup with Swedish trio

25-1-2021 12:11

The Norwegian organization has decided to go down the Scandinavian route after Joakim "⁠jkaem⁠" Myrbostad's departure.

Apeks have unveiled three new players ahead of the start of ESEA Premier Season 36. Twins Joakim "⁠Relaxa⁠" Gustafsson and Fredrik "⁠FREDDyFROG⁠" Gustafsson, as well as recent Gen.G stand-in Rasmus "⁠kreaz⁠" Johansson have signed six-month contracts, making the squad majorly Swedish.

The organization scrapped its plans for creating a "top Norwegian roster" after jkaem accepted the chance to reunite with Aaron "⁠AZR⁠" Ward and co. in EXTREMUM, expanding their focus on the region. Nevertheless, Apeks will continue to compete in the domestic Telialigaen, albeit with a different lineup to what will be used internationally.

FREDDyFROG and Relaxa join Apeks

"Our focus now will be on doing well in ESEA Premier and Snow Sweet Snow, while we continue to climb the HLTV rankings," team coach Pål "⁠Polly⁠" Kammen said about the signing, praising the experience and skill the new players brought.

FREDDyFROG added that Apeks impressed him and his brother since the initial talks. "They were serious, professional, and had the same goals as us in the meeting when we first introduced ourselves. We are very excited to begin our new chapter with the Norwegian organization and we’re very proud to represent them."

The team's Head of Esports, Anders Kjær, stated that "this roster is the best we have had in Apeks", and explained that the organization will employ the services of Martin "⁠Nasty⁠" Garvik, who was benched in December, and Ole "⁠Marcelious⁠" Kristian Langan, who was a part of the active lineup until the arrival of the Swedish trio, in their Telialigaen matches.

Apeks are now:

Sander "⁠Grus⁠" Iversen
Dennis "⁠dennis⁠" Edman
Fredrik "⁠FREDDyFROG⁠" Gustafsson
Joakim "⁠Relaxa⁠" Gustafsson
Rasmus "⁠kreaz⁠" Johansson

Pål "⁠Polly⁠" Kammen (coach)

For the domestic Telialigaen, Apeks will use the following squad:

Sander "⁠Grus⁠" Iversen
Dennis "⁠dennis⁠" Edman
Martin "⁠Nasty⁠" Garvik
Ole "⁠Marcelious⁠" Kristian Langan
Fredrik "⁠FREDDyFROG⁠" Gustafsson (potential rotation)

do you have any ideas then?

2021-01-25 12:37

kreaz best new swedish player wdym almost joined C9 last year

2021-01-25 12:46

These are good pickups but let's call this for what it is - an opportunistic pickup for Apeks to grab a frankly undeserved ESEA Premier spot. I hope Kreaz can shine at least.

2021-01-25 12:36

Yo le noob, I believe they already hold a spot in MDL from their previous roster.

2021-01-29 07:20

FREDDYFROG and Relaxa had an MDL spot (not sure how it worked but they kept the spot when they left GXR) and by joining Apeks they "gave" it to them

2021-01-29 09:40

Yeah my bad, I looked into it and you’re 100% right. Dick move from the twins to GXR and their ex teammates tho, reminds me of what Davidp did to Heretics.

2021-01-29 11:11

No problem! Maybe don't start with "le noob" next time :) What did DavidP do to Heretics actually? I've not heard of that before.

2021-01-29 11:14

Haha I do this with every message, it’s kind of my trademark (reference to smithzz) ^^. In late 2019 when he got benched by Heretics, he refused to give the captaincy on the Esea sheet to another player, so he kept the MDL spot for himself (playing with his mix Demolition Crew). He already had a reputation of being a dick in the French scene and it worsened after that. Didn’t even serve him as he was so bad he left for Valorant as soon as the game launched, and now he’s teamless lmao.
