Apeks complete roster with STYKO

9-1-2022 20:40

The former FunPlus Phoenix and MOUZ rifler takes the final spot on Apeks’ revamped roster heading into 2022.

Martin "⁠STYKO⁠" Styk has been announced as the final signing to Apeks, joining Joakim "⁠jkaem⁠" Myrbostad, Hugo "⁠chawzyyy⁠" Günther, and Tim "⁠nawwk⁠" Jonasson on the list of players that were brought on by the organization as they rebuilt their roster for the new year, keeping just Asger "⁠AcilioN⁠" Larsen from their previous lineup.

STYKO spent 2021 plying his trade for FunPlus Phoenix, but the team only found limited success throughout the year, unable to secure wins or deep runs in any of their notable event appearances.

In October, FPX announced they would be discontinuing their CS:GO division, and STYKO has been sitting on the sidelines ever since, having last recorded an official map in the IEM Winter closed qualifier.

STYKO finds a new home on Apeks

His addition to Apeks provides a stable backbone to the team as they look to greater heights in 2022, setting goals of making it to a Major and establishing a stable presence among some of the best teams in the world.

"Martin with his experience and knowledge of the game is a master of CS," Apeks' Head of Esports Anders Kjær stated. "He will bring the stability and know-how that we need in this new lineup. He knows so much about the game, and he has experience from several international lineups."

STYKO, has spent the past three months assessing options and keeping extraneous avenues open by doing content creation on the side. When Apeks came knocking though, he was intrigued by the combination of players they were putting together, specifically taking interest in the signing of 16-year-old chawzyyy.

"Despite having a lot of known and proven players around me, I'm most excited about working with our young-gun chawzyyy," STYKO said of joining the roster. "He is the talent I would like to work with and help him develop into a star. And that is partly what I will bring to the team. Guidance, experience, and general approach are all something I can aid the team with."

In a statement on his website, STYKO added that he is travelling to Oslo, Norway for a bootcamp with the team, who should play their first official on January 17.

Apeks' complete roster is:

Asger "⁠AcilioN⁠" Larsen
Tim "⁠nawwk⁠" Jonasson
Joakim "⁠jkaem⁠" Myrbostad
Hugo "⁠chawzyyy⁠" Günther
Martin "⁠STYKO⁠" Styk

Pål "⁠Polly⁠" Kammen (coach)

Yea maybe. I actually think he played average against good teams and he has experience, so.

asistant coach g2?

2022-01-09 22:34

Emi retire pls.. he was worthless

2022-01-09 20:53

sure if you compare to s1mple, but then who is not?

2022-01-10 21:17

I don't compare, I have seen his performance in Valiance, since he came back from coach to player

2022-01-11 15:28

People still live in the past.

2022-01-11 10:57

they cant even do shit in tier 4 Gorilaz

2022-01-10 05:23

Sergej did pretty good in t1 when he was in ence, theres possibility that he can get his form back in finnish lineup.

2022-01-10 13:07

Yeah, sergej is a god. It's a damn shame that allu almost made him quit. He deserves to be saved.

2022-01-10 17:37

+1 Sunny, sergej or zehn to HAVU would be amazing

2022-01-10 13:03

zehn is already 30, does he still have potential?

2022-01-10 17:39

From all he finnish pros that could make a new finnish lineup (theres 9, or more), zehN has the best rating from last 3 month (1.10). But yes he is quite old, i still personally would want to see him in full finn lineup.

2022-01-10 18:07

could be, although idk what role doto was playing

2022-01-09 20:59

support

2022-01-09 21:09

yeah xseven and doto kinda similar players

2022-01-09 21:27

Wasn't emi rumored to G2 as a coach?

2022-01-09 20:58

You don't know shit right? Chawzy is a rifler he only played the awp lately

2022-01-09 23:36

Chawzyyy is a better rifler than he is an awper for me. Plus that 1v4 with the deagle he did was insane in the membrane

2022-01-10 04:44

Idiot

wdym , farlig is good, better then nothing for STYKO but this team is bad on paper

6 replies

Better than FPX, at least.

on the paper way worse

Hum. Emi was not a good igl. Anyway, they changed so many times, how can you be consistent. I agree Farling > Nawwk, but Zehn is getting old. Maden is good, but I think this roster was not playing enough together.

2022-01-09 21:11

Agree, +nexa for example in FPX would be instant top10 at least

2022-01-10 02:16

All the best!

Good luck STYKO and Apeks new roster, All the best for the future.

why not full scandinavian lineup? but styko is a good support player tho

2022-01-09 20:42

They would still have to speak English.

Norwegians and Swedes understand each other so no English would have been needed if they went with Scandinavian lineup and eventual danish players learned Norwegian/Swedish.

2022-01-09 21:13

10 replies

maybe styko knows norwegian/swedish

2022-01-09 21:15

If he did that would be great but I doubt it. Thought it was gonna be a Scandinavian roster but I think styko will be a good addition.

2022-01-09 21:18

yeah i highly doubt it too, nawwk speaks good english, dont know about rest and didnt know whether they were speaking english before or acilion knew swedish

2022-01-09 21:19

Jkaem played with AU players and AcilioN played with English rosters before.

2022-01-09 21:21

All Swedes under 50 years old are guaranteed to speak English and that goes for rest of Scandinavia too

2022-01-09 21:26

yeah, maybe still problems as speaking in english doesn't mean thinking in english etc

2022-01-09 21:58

Pretty quickly it will i think. I start thinking in english minutes after i join adisc call with british mates lol

2022-01-10 21:09

The other guy who was rumored was Kjaerbye. So you would have 2 danes (one of them being an IGL) who would still have to learn Swedish meanwhile all of the players speak English. It would make no sense to do this. I imagine it's like us talking to a Pole. We can understand each other but we use some words differently or pronounce them differently. Most notably szukat ("find" in polish) šukať ("fuck" in Slovak). So it would still take a long time for them to adjust and even then they wouldn't speak perfect Swedish..

2022-01-09 21:20

On paper language isn’t too different. I can read danish and understand 90% it’s all about learning pronunciation it’s not like learning a new language rather than pronouncing your own differently.

2022-01-09 21:25

Probaby problem is in AcillioN

2022-01-09 23:33

why would they

2022-01-09 20:44

Acilion would speak englisj.

possible top 15 team

Pretty interesting roster...

really solid roster

Good luck !

The roster looks really good.

pog

NICE

Good luck

Actually good team. Good luck to all of them

Looks like a pretty decent roster actually. Best of luck, Apeks!

I thought so too! Hope they are keen to grind, very excited to watch them play mostly cause of nawwk hehe :P Hope you have a lovely week further friend! Stay safe and hydrated <3

2022-01-10 08:03

Thank you and Wishing you all the very best too, friend. <3

2022-01-10 15:57

Good let's go apeks 💪.

Awesome! Styko's been so unlucky and hope that changes, he deserves it!

Apeks was like, "hmmm we need another nordic player.... aaah yes STYKO"

Love styko but wanted kjaerbye :(

shit transfer

Because?

shit transfer for styko

Better than being benched

no nevim

2022-01-09 20:56

rip kjaerbye

apeks will be fun to watch from now on i guess

good luck to him

not a bad team actually

hmmm looks top 20ish

mistake

Didn’t expect this move but it can work out well

good roster tbh

FPX LIVES ON btw this team bangs

Would've rather had him in Mouz than NBK. Like the good old days.

GODSTYKO

Who is their opponent on the 17th if January? Can't find any match happening on that date.

2022-01-09 20:48

Prbly gonna be invited to elisa main qualifier that starts 17th jan.

best apeks lineup!

It's a good team on paper, chawzyyy is insane, jkaem is solid, nawwwk can be a star awper if he finds his form again, STYKO is a solid & consistent fragger... Hope AcilioN can get the best out of them and doesn't throw this opportunity

2022-01-09 20:49

wtf

this is a very interesting team on paper, if they can work it out they can reach tier2 soon

kick acilion pls

Don't worry, max two months

2022-01-09 23:11

This team apeks managed to put together is way beyond what we thought they could do. Atleast with the 4 players that they've signed. My issue is they should've got 5 new players not 4.

Rip Kaerbye

good team!

Nice! deserved

Team with a lot of potential, never heard of chawzeyyy before tho, he's 16 so I assume he's some kind of talent?

He is insane

2022-01-09 23:48

Stacked

maden STYKO jkaem nawwwk ⁠chawzyyy⁠

Expected, although I'd rather have -AcilioN +dennis

2022-01-09 20:57

Does someone know who the igl is?

Acilion is IGL

2022-01-09 21:44

where are u doublee??? how is that scandinavian roster going

What a strange team.

ngl.... i like this team a lot.

2022-01-09 21:00

Maybe ENCE will sign him who knows

2022-01-09 21:57

actually.... good

unexpected!

2022-01-09 21:06

Grux as igl instead of acilion would have been good, but we'll see i will follow them.

2022-01-09 21:07

good roster, i am very excited to see what they can achieve.

Happy for my boi Martin!

Acillion is not good enough It might’ve been work in the scandinavian roster but he is definitely not that guy in the international roster

was the kjaerbye screenshot fake or something?

2022-01-09 21:12

Nope, had a tryout but was too bad

decent

:( good luck Martin!

2022-01-09 21:22

Good luck styko and GANG

2022-01-09 21:24

strong tier 2 title contender I think

2022-01-09 21:28

apeks looks like a sick fucking team, hope they do well

2022-01-09 21:29

aint strong team

Better highlights than jkaem and against better teams lul It's sad how low jkaem has fallen he is a great player. GL to them!

2022-01-09 21:47

Haha, you rate players based of random frag movies?

2022-01-09 21:49

Not at all but it's weird how he has "shit" highlights in his announcement compared to STYKO. That's because jkaem has been playing in a shit team compared to his potential.

2022-01-10 01:11

GL Styko my boiii

2022-01-09 21:48

Apeks looking like a really good team, gl to them!

2022-01-09 21:50

Yeah this is hopeless

2022-01-09 21:51

pretty good roster to make some upsets in tier2

not a bad team honestly, chawzy looks promising. Could maybe peak at low top 10

2022-01-09 22:10

I'm worried about nawwk though. If he is able to rifle at the same level that he could AWP, this roster could be promising.

2022-01-09 22:24

Nice balanced roster, i see them making top 30

2022-01-09 22:15

sick roster

2022-01-09 22:22

decent LU gl

2022-01-09 22:58

2022-01-10 08:16

on the fence about acilion but rest looks good!

2022-01-10 16:43
