Apeks announce nawwk as second player of new roster

16-12-2021 18:06

The former Ninjas in Pyjamas member returns to activity after sitting on the bench for the majority of the year.

Apeks have announced the signing of Tim "⁠nawwk⁠" Jonasson. The AWPer joins Danish in-game leader Asger "⁠AcilioN⁠" Larsen during a rebuilding phase of the squad, which was initiated in the first half of November as the organization cut ties with four of their players, citing a need for a fresh start.

The 24-year-old Swede joins Apeks on a transfer from Ninjas in Pyjamas, where he had been benched ever since the team made the blockbuster signing of Nicolai "⁠device⁠" Reedtz in late April. Since then the only officials on record that nawwk has played in were in August, when he helped POGGERZ win the Calyx Dune Cup Fall and qualify for BLAST Premier Showdown.

nawwk returns after spending the last eight months on NIP's bench

After an extended period on the sidelines, the AWPer returns eager to get up and running with his new team.

"I'm looking forward to starting playing again. It's been about 8 months since I played my last official game with NiP and sitting on the bench has both been a good and bad learning experience," nawwk said in a statement to Apeks.

"Starting from scratch will be a great feeling. It sure does mean we need to work a lot harder to get where we want to be, but it also brings a ton of motivation from every possible angle."

The new addition hinted at the remainder of the lineup as he said that all the players are coming from different teams. When asked about the rebuilding process and whether the organization has managed to line up any other players so far, however, Apeks Head of Esports, Anders Kjær, erred on the side of caution, as it seems that the contracts of the rest of the team are still yet to be inked.

"We have a clear vision of what we want our lineup to look like, but you never know for sure until everything is signed," Kjær shared. "We have narrowed it down to a few individuals for sure."

Apeks' roster now has:

Asger "⁠AcilioN⁠" Larsen
Tim "⁠nawwk⁠" Jonasson

Pål "⁠Polly⁠" Kammen (coach)

Contracts expire December 31
Dennis "⁠dennis⁠" Edman
Fredrik "⁠FREDDyFROG⁠" Gustafsson
Joakim "⁠Relaxa⁠" Gustafsson
Sander "⁠Grus⁠" Iversen
Martin "⁠Nasty⁠" Garvik (loaned to FOXED)

2021-12-17 06:41

i'd take JW away from the AWP. Flusha second caller?

2021-12-17 13:56

Golden is practically useless if he isn’t calling.. maybe a tier 3 rifler support

2021-12-17 17:48

Flusha left fnatic because he whanted to be IGL and JW on second awp well we have seen that before

yeah , JW + another awper , that went so well in the past right?

2021-12-16 19:38

u think this team is gonna be tier 1??

no... Acillion is on the team, how can you expect the team to be tier 1? Unless they sign some pretty good names which is very unlikely.

2021-12-17 13:51

Finally nawwk playing in a team, this is good.

damn this could be good

wow so many players leaving CSGO, but even for Apeks Legends now?

how's that funny ?

2021-12-16 19:55

am I here to entertain you?

2021-12-16 20:11

good luck nawwk⁠

Denmark Asger "⁠AcilioN⁠" Larsen Already a dead team

Hahaha I was just about to say this.

2021-12-16 18:14

He’s actually decent for a tier 2-3 IGL. CPH Flames improved drastically when he became their IGL. They didn’t become top tier until HooXi joined though.

2021-12-16 19:17

I think with players like nawwk he can do fine as an igl. Should be top 20 or lower if they get others around nawwks skill level

2021-12-16 19:37

What he did with mad lions was huge too.. took a bunch of guys and introduced them to tier 1, gave them a bunch of contracts ofc with god hundens help

2021-12-17 17:51

He can be ok at tier 2, top 20-25 max after that they need better igl.

2021-12-16 19:59

should do everything in their power to keep freddy.

Problem is he requires to play with his brother. It’s like the Brazilian twins as well.

2021-12-16 19:25

+1. He probably could have had a good carreer otherwise, I feel he pissed it away.

2021-12-16 18:10

2021-12-16 18:11

Not a bad sign

I told you that Apeks would build a strong team

Now sign Mann3n

2021-12-16 21:52

2021-12-17 03:53

And Nilo

2021-12-17 06:42

acilion did a great job as IGL in MAD LIONS, hope they get good players to support these 2!

Dennis need good team I miss the pistol god

2021-12-16 18:15

True with rifles aberage with pistols hits everything lol kinda like old flamie insane pistol player aswell

2021-12-17 07:45

damn thats nice good luck!

2021-12-16 18:16

let's go nawwk!

What happend to nawwk he got on a diet

Botvice did him dirty both in and outside the game lol

AciioN - nawwk - Olof - flusha - JW/chrisj/suNny/dennis

2021-12-16 18:24

I guess that has a little bit of potential.

FINALLY! Good luck, Tim. :)

hampus cried for him tier3

2021-12-16 18:25

its happening everybody stay calm

2021-12-16 18:29

You didnt rather have him join savage?

2021-12-17 19:12

chawzyyy is doing good on the awp also twist is 2nd awper you could kick twist and put nawwk on main awp and chawzyyy on 2nd awp but savage is not an org so why would he want to join savage instead of apeks :p savage just needs a better support player like olofmeister and then they can remove the shitty player named dezon

2021-12-17 19:22

kick AcilioN, add flusha. Then add some AURA players

Flusha doesnt want to igl anymore :( But some AURA players is a good idea!

well no place for flusha in this team then :( he is kinda washed up imo

2021-12-16 19:51

Either that or he had trouble to focus on his own game while being IGL, in a couple of months we Will hopefully know!

2021-12-16 19:54

I hope he can start having a better form and get back to tier1 asap

2021-12-17 00:39

2021-12-16 18:54

feelsbadman for nawwk. happy to see him get another chance. hes a good player just needs confidence and consistency :)

2021-12-16 18:56

Finally he gets a team, definitely deserved.

2021-12-16 18:57

finally, looking foward to see him playing

2021-12-16 19:02

damn, he lost weight, lookin good

uncle nawwk good luwck

Seems like he's lost a lot of weight

2021-12-16 19:05

GL to nawwk deserved one more chance for sure

2021-12-16 19:08

POG Finally nawwk found home

3 more decent players and this looks like a solid tier 2 roster

2021-12-16 19:16

I hope Apeks build a good roster, a solid IGL and AWP is a great base to build around. Jkaem, JKS, the FPX guys, some solid pieces still out there

2021-12-16 19:19

+Jkaem +JKS was my first thought. +STYKO or +Bubzjki could be great for the final slot. Could be a very fun team to watch

2021-12-16 22:12

They fit perfectly in the system, Jkaem as entry, JKS as your lurker/closer. It blows my mind that JKS is still on the sidelines and we don't see any rumors about his future... in his prime he was a star player on a top 5 team, Complexity was never going to work out with who they had and they forced him out of his comfort zone. Styko would be awesome as a support too. That team would be legit

2021-12-17 06:57

Honestly, been trying to figure out my allegiances with all of the shuffles but that would be such a killer roster. Great players with a lot to prove having the opportunity to build back into being a top squad.

2021-12-17 09:32

I think they should try to get bubzkji, he performed great while playing with acilion as IGL. Also get someone from Apeks Rebels like SLY

2021-12-16 19:53

apeks building a geoguessr team POGGGGG

This does NOT look like nawwk wtf

2021-12-16 19:52

Good for him!

+jkaem +BnTeT + ?

2021-12-16 19:58

Jkaem wont sign for Apeks again, have u forgotten anout last time? Wanted to build norwegian CS and left 2 months later. Some bad blood between Apeks and Jkaem

2021-12-16 21:02

No bad blood at all, Jkaem got an offer he couldnt refuse rejoining the boys and Apeks let him go.

2021-12-16 21:11

First I thought it read "Apex announces nawwk to new roster o.O

2021-12-16 20:14

Would be legit good move though. ZywOo to Rifle/2nd App, nawwk to AWP ZywOo Apex Magisk Dupreeh nawwk

2021-12-17 00:30

Nice to see nawwk again, add mann3n and golden as igl now.

2021-12-16 20:15

pogu

2021-12-16 20:28

next sergej, then ropz and jkaem/rain

2021-12-16 20:29

good for nawwk man, i still miss him streaming tho

EspiranTo & Sergej pls.

He changed, gl

2021-12-16 20:30

I like the nawwk pickup but AcillioN? He had the chance to prove himself in like 7 lineups, Why would it work this time?

2021-12-16 20:33

they should have gotten sanden 100%

2021-12-16 20:38

AcilioN not the strongest player for sure but i dont think its 99% hes fault that they didnt achieve results. You need atleast 2 beast riflers, 1 anchor player, decent awp(rn its nawwk) and igl who atleast gets 12 kills per map. Previous teams with hes igl wasnt the strongest guys in the team. With decent players they can achieve something thats my guess

2021-12-17 05:54

rip relaxed dj frogs brothers sad to see

2021-12-16 20:36

Imaging still adding acillion to your Team already failed Team With this guy

2021-12-16 20:43

jkaem pls

2021-12-16 20:49

Thats nawwk????? Damnnnnn he has changed alot

2021-12-16 21:06

magisk and dupreeh? ;o

2021-12-16 21:07

magis and dupreeh are already confirmed on Vitality 2022

2021-12-16 21:42

not confirmed

2021-12-17 13:05

Might as well keep dennis then

2021-12-16 21:09

Add jkaem and sly maby

2021-12-16 21:37

Jkaem please. And sunny. Fennoscandi løve

2021-12-16 22:38

+ mann3n +svedjehed +tmb

2021-12-16 22:45

lets go nawwk

2021-12-16 23:04

SpawN MedioN and HeatoN, if you are just looking to abuse players and the scene go all in.

2021-12-16 23:59

Awwgh I was hopnig for nawwk to join savage but this is okay too, probably just not as much potential though.

2021-12-17 00:37

if they will not fuck up last remaining players , apeks > savage probably in 2 months

2021-12-17 05:48

apeks > savage (with nawwk)?

2021-12-17 19:04

No i mean more potential in Apeks than savage like i said if Apeks dont fuck last players then Apeks with Nawwk > Savage with Nawwk but thats my opinion. twist lmao ;33

2021-12-17 20:12

I think it's gonna be Jkaem If Jkaem in then, AZR, BnTeT possibly gonna come with him.

2021-12-17 00:43

why azr tho, dont need another igl. jkaem would be good move. 2 more swedish players and all gucci

2021-12-17 05:50

Pull dennis back

2021-12-17 00:45

Is Acilion a good igl? He looked terrible in the games I watched

good luck hopefully they get some good players.

2021-12-17 00:46

gl nawwk looking good mens)

2021-12-17 01:51

2021-12-17 08:03

Hello Apeks. My name is hemy. I see you have some spots left, I have a excellent understanding of the game and its future, tons of experience as well. I am a people pleaser and always positive no matter the outcome. I think I will be a perfect fit for your team, with my 29 years of age I will provide comfort and chemistry around our organisation. My mentality is on top, and im not hot headed in clutch situations. My number one strength is that I need no salary for playing.

2021-12-17 13:03

Glad to see nawwk getting chance to play again. Hope dennis also joins, missed seeing insane pistol clutches. Although I'm not sure he has the skills anymore but should be pretty decent still.
