Apeks W or L
I don't know what Apeks are doing.... Maybe Florescent did well in trials or something, but signing her over cNed or Lime or some other tier 2 duelists feels bit scummy. Like I said I don't know the insides, but this feels a lot like "we are going to be kicked out of VCT anyway, so let's make a clout move that will farm impressions and make us relevant". If that's the case then it feels bad for guys like Lime who have been grinding in tier 2 for long while performing well.
Yeah, "among" the best players. And they only trialed for 2 spots. Like who knows maybe she outperformed him, but that sentence alone doesn't mean that. Like Lime isn't some future star type of duelist, so them picking Florescent over him even if he performed better wouldn't be unbeliavable. And even then Lime has been grinding in tier 2 while looking good, while Florescent has only been dominating GC.
I don't know was he the best, but yeah my point that Lime isn't really a potential future star caliber like Kaajak or Xeus, so them prioritizing publicity over slightly better player isn't unbelievable. Like I don't think it really changes their expectations of perfomance next season. And yeah Lime has been playing well for quite a long time now and I was hoping for him to make it even if I don't rate him super high among EMEAs top duelists.
