Apeks to part ways with Polly, mithR to help main team out

23-3-2023 15:03

The second team skipper will be used as an extra resource for the main team.

Apeks have announced that they will not be renewing Pål "⁠Polly⁠" Kammen's contract after it expires at the end of June, citing that the team has not performed to expectation or garnered sufficiently good results. This will put an end to a four-year partnership with the Norwegian coach.

Now the 49th team in the world, Apeks has struggled in the depths of open qualifiers and second tier leagues, with the top result coming in the form of a spot at the RMR.

mithR will help Apeks ahead of their RMR run

Apeks Rebels coach Torbjørn "⁠mithR⁠" Nyborg will be added as a resource for Jakub "⁠kuben⁠" Gurczyński as Martin "⁠STYKO⁠" Styk and company go into a crucial part of the season, the Major cycle, where they have a chance to actualize the organization's long-term goal of reaching the actual Major itself.

Among mithR's new tasks will be optimizing gameplay and the team's playbook, having individual sessions with the players, and helping prepare for the all-important upcoming RMR in early April.

Until his contract is up, Polly will be working on other projects within Apeks and doing analytical work.

Apeks is:

Martin "⁠STYKO⁠" Styk
Joakim "⁠jkaem⁠" Myrbostad
Tim "⁠nawwk⁠" Jonasson
Justinas "⁠jL⁠" Lekavicius
Damjan "⁠kyxsan⁠" Stoilkovski

Jakub "⁠kuben⁠" Gurczyński (coach)

Qualifying to rmr undefeated and now going to cct final. Pretty good for an obvious tier2 team no?

It is a good thing. It is also underwhelming for them the same way it's for EG with their quadra roster as they expect results. The major most likely will determine the future for the squad.

As the number 1 dupreeh fan you must be really qualified to speak about bots. Seriously tho Apeks is a legit team, they'll qualify for the major.

Polly wants a cracker

2023-03-23 16:25

Polly was great awper back in the day

Polly can work, if you have 5 girls in your team. But thinking polly was a good idea for 5 men of different nationalities was never optimal, if you ask me. Too many voices. GL in the future Polly!

From one washed up to another Great back in the day with nothing to bring into modern cs

2023-03-23 16:51

I mean, it's always good to have more coaching staff, so maybe adding mithR is a good choice, but I really do think this Apeks team can't break to Tier1 with this roster, I think some of those players are just outdated I will be honest, well not some of them, I just really think STYKO is not delivering, and I wish they would get someone younger and just let jkaem be the experienced one, I think that could give them a shot for Tier1 atleast.

I just dont know why, he was doing good back in 2022 even when he was igling, but after getting kyxsan he just fell off and it makes me sad

2023-03-23 20:27

I think a lot of players had this problem in the past, they became IGL while they were decent, and then when they stepped back from IGLing they were never the same players, I think Snax is the perfect example.
