Apeks signs shox to CS:GO roster

Norwegian esports organization Apeks has completed the CS:GO roster by signing a contract with shox. The 30-year-old French player joins the team after a less than successful period in Team Liquid to try and give the roster a little more experience.

After a disappointing spring season, we realized that we needed to make changes to the team. We have done a lot of market research to find the right players so that we can reach our ambitious goals. There were a lot of discussions and meetings, but we are very happy with the signing of both jL and shox, as well as kuben in the coaching department. This combination gives us hunger and experience - this is what we need in a team. We are looking forward to this fall - I'm very excited - Anders Kjær, Head of Esports at Apeks.

shox entered the scene just over fifteen years ago, having established itself as a legend in the French scene. Playing for 3DMAX, VeryGames, Titan, Team LDLC, Team EnVyUs, G2 Esports and Vitality, the experienced Frenchman won many championships, including DreamHack Winter 2014, Esports Championship Series Season 1 - Finals and EPICENTER 2019.

However, at the end of last year, the 30-year-old French player made the decision to continue his career in North America, which turned out to be a mistake. As a result, shox did not win a single trophy for six months, and then he asked to go home and left Team Liquid.

After my time with Team Liquid, I needed a break to recover from the grueling schedule we had. I needed to make sure my head was healthy before joining a new team. I am delighted and grateful to Apeks, the players and the coaching staff for this opportunity. I am confident that we can do great things with the right mindset, and I know that everyone will do their best to turn this journey together into a beautiful story, said shox.

Recall that recently the Norwegian organization introduced kuben as its new head coach. Before that, the Polish specialist worked with the MAD Lions squad. In addition, the club officially introduced the fourth member of the main team, which was jL, a former MAD Lions player.

The next championship for Apeks will be ESEA Season 42: Advanced Division - Europe, which started on August 8th. In addition, the team will begin preparations for the qualifications for the European RMR tournament, which will begin next week.

The current Apeks CS:GO roster is as follows:

• nawwk
• jkaem
• STYKO
• jL
• shox
• kuben (head coach)
• Polly (assistant coach)
