Dear Apeks fans,

We know how much Apeks means to you all, as it does to us. Today, we find ourselves in a position where we must share some important updates about our journey forward.

In light of challenging economic circumstances, we are taking decisive steps to secure the future of our company. As part of this strategy, we are focusing our current resources on the continued success of our VALORANT division for the remainder of the season. This decision is essential to ensure the longevity and sustainability of Apeks. This involves a temporary pause on our Counter-Strike division and, regrettably, temporary layoffs within our staff due to this. Unfortunately, our Fortnite division will also be affected by this decision, as we exit the scene.

Our journey began in 2017, fueled by the dreams of a few passionate individuals. In 2019, Ole Anfinnsen joined us, combining our ambitions with his financial support and shared passion. Together, we achieved milestones we only dared to dream of, such as playing against Vitality at the Blast Major semifinals in Paris on May 20th last year. We are incredibly proud of what we have accomplished.

However, despite our success, we have faced challenges in creating a stable economic environment. We must therefore make some tough decisions this summer. Starting from June, most of our employees will be temporarily laid off.

In the coming months, we will strive to secure Apeks’ commitment to esports and will actively seek fresh capital.

• “As Chairman of the Board, I feel it is important to act on these challenges directly. These difficult decisions, including the temporary layoffs and the pause of our Counter-Strike division, were made with a heavy heart to secure a sustainable future for Apeks. Investing in Apeks has been a labor of love for me. My commitment to the team and to the vision we all share remains unwavering. We are determined to overcome these challenges and emerge stronger than ever. Thank you for your understanding and continued support.”

Chairman of the Board, Ole Anfinnsen

We encourage all of our fans and followers to stay with us during this time. Your support means the world to us. Our VALORANT team is on the road to qualifying for VCT, and we are excited to focus our efforts on this promising journey.

We want to express our deepest gratitude to our employees for their hard work and dedication, and to you, our fans, for your unwavering support. We are hopeful for the future and look forward to sharing our journey with you.

Thank you for being a part of Apeks.

Best,
Apeks
