This year has not been the most successful for Apeks and as a result they have steadily slid 15 places down the world rankings from their peak of No. 10. They made it through the IEM Katowice Play-in and qualified for PGL Major Copenhagen, but in both instances exited the main event without making much headway, and have struggled for form since.

Apeks were not able to progress through qualifiers for BetBoom Dacha, EWC and ESL Challenger Jönköping, went 1-4 in ESL Challenger League, and sport a sub-50% win rate in matches over the past three months. As a result of this lack of success in qualifiers, Nomadic Masters Spring represents their only future LAN commitment.

In their most-recent LAN appearance at ESL Challenger Melbourne, Apeks earned a top-four finish thanks to BO1 wins over sunday school and Aurora, but fell to MIBR 1-2 in the semi-finals, with the decider map ending in a 0-13 blowout.

There are three spots left to be decided for Nomadic Masters Spring. with one invite going to an Asian team and two teams qualifying via MESA Pro Series Spring and MESA Pro Series Finals.

The Nomadic Masters team list is currently:
