mithR parts ways with MOUZ, joins Apeks Rebels

The Danish coach transitions into talent development in the Apeks academy team.

Torbjørn "⁠mithR⁠" Nyborg has parted ways with MOUZ and announced that he has signed with Apeks to become the new coach of their academy team, Apeks Rebels. In the position, the Dane will replace Morten "⁠zEVES⁠" Vollan Christensen, whose next role in the organization is currently up in the air.

The former Renegades and MOUZ coach is no stranger to the Norwegian side, having briefly helped a previous iteration of their main roster in preparation for a Minor closed qualifierfollowing his departure from North back in early 2020.

"I have had a good connection with Apeks, which only grew stronger as I helped them during the Road to Rio Minor Closed Qualifier," mithR said. "Helping them those two weeks leading up to that qualifier and discussing our ambitions and methods, we quickly discovered that we have the same values and beliefs."

"I’m going to miss the busy travel schedule, and playing against the best teams in the world, but I also look forward to proving to myself, Apeks, and everyone out there that my style of coaching can grow players from playing local LAN events in Scandinavia and Open Qualifiers into potential world-class athletes."

mithR leaves MOUZ after a little over a year, at a time when the European team is set to undergo changes following the loss of Robin "⁠ropz⁠" Kool. A late-December report from 1pv.fr states the European side will overhaul the roster with a potential addition of two of their academy players as well as Nathan "⁠NBK-⁠" Schmitt following an up-and-down year.

Apeks Rebels are:

Steffen "⁠SLY⁠" Amundsen
Tobias "⁠shyyne⁠" Sæther
Ådne "⁠sense⁠" Fredriksen
Even "⁠H0land⁠" Holand
Preben "⁠Trax⁠" Martinsen
