STYKO on Apeks roster: It's 100% doable to have a great team without a star player
In an interview with Pley, the Slovak discusses Apeks’ roster composition, their way to the top of CS:GO and more.
In early January this year, Martin “STYKO” Styk was announced as the fifth member of Apeks, joining the likes of Joakim “jkaem” Myrbostad and the former NIP AWPer, Tim “nawwk” Jonasson.
We got the opportunity to link up with STYKO for an interview, here nearly three months after his transfer to the Norwegian side.
Talking about the Apeks roster, the former FunPlus Phoenix rifler was very pleased with his new teammates, where he highlighted the lack of a star player. Something, the Slovakian rifler doesn’t see as a liability.
- I have been playing for quite some time now, and I have always been on a team where there’s been a certain star, but here it’s more of a teamplay team, STYKO said and continued:
- We will try to improve our communication, which will be vital for us to grow. I know it's 100% doable to have a great team without a star player. We just have to find our own way of working, which is comfortable for the five of us – then we can do wonders.

The young gun
STYKO left it no secret, which Apeks teammate he wanted to work with the most. And that was the talented 16-year-old, Hugo “chawzyyy “ Günther.
- When I saw the names on the lineup, I got especially hyped over Chawzyyy (…) the guy is ultimately really good in pretty much every aspect of the game – if it’s entering, if it’s clutching, if’s gameplay and nades. What we are trying to develop with him is his communication, initiation, and overall being more assertive on the server.
