Apeks Apeks Europe Rank #26 penny Erik Penny OLIZERA Diogo Oliveira MOLSI Michał Łącki AvovA Auni Chahade batujnax Mehmet Batu Özaslan have added North America's Erik "penny" Penny as their fifth player going into Stage 2.

After attending the very first international masters tournament in Reykjavík, Penny has been toiling away in NA's tier two scene. He played under G2 Esports G2 Esports North America Rank #1 jawgemo Alexander Mor trent Trent Cairns valyn Jacob Batio JonahP Jonah Pulice leaf Nathan Orf and YFP YFP North America Rank #10 jakee Jake Anderson bdog Brandon Sanders stellar Brenden McGrath thief Brady Dever , neither of which were particularly close to reaching Ascension. However, Penny got a chance to shine on the global stage once more with Team Liquid Team Liquid Europe Rank #10 paTiTek Patryk Fabrowski nAts Ayaz Akhmetshin trexx Nikita Cherednichenko Keiko Georgio Sanassy kamo Kamil Frąckowiak at Masters Toronto. He was signed to fill the vacancy of IGL nAts in their opening match, and remained as a part of the six-man roster for the rest of Liquid's tournament run. Showing that he could hold his own on the biggest stage, he has been given another shot at tier one play in EMEA with Apeks.

Apeks, still yet to find their first win this year, are in need of a massive resurgence if they hope to stay in the partnership league. As an Ascension team, failure to make it out of their group will result in immediate relegation. With their latest roster changes, this is the third iteration of their roster that they will field this year as they fight to stay alive in EMEA.

Apeks will play their first match with Penny against Natus Vincere Natus Vincere Europe Rank #31 ANGE1 Kyrylo Karasov Shao Andrey Kiprsky alexiiik Alex Hawlasek Ruxic Uğur Güç hiro Emirhan Kat in week one of EMEA Stage 2.
