Richard “shox” Papillon’s days at Apeks looks to be numbered with the Norwegian organization having announced the benching of the legendary Frenchman this Tuesday. The former Major winner lasted only two months in the team, playing 35 maps in total throughout the short stint.
Apeks has published the following statement regarding today’s news.
– After much deliberation, we have mutually agreed for shox to explore his options. He will not be a part of our active roster moving forward. This is due to a difference in vision on how to proceed with our in-game team development.
Apeks | Roster
{cflag:SK} Martin “STYKO” Styk
{cflag:NO} Joakim “jkaem” Myrbostad
{cflag:SE} Tim “nawwk” Jonasson
{cflag:LT} Justinas “jL” Lekavicius
{cflag:FR} Richard “shox” Papillon (Benched)
This is the second time this year shox has been benched from a CS:GO team. First, it was the North Americans from Liquid who announced his exit back in June, which also ended up being a short experience for the veteran rifler. In our latest ‘Deep Dive’ episode we focussed on shox to see whether he still have what it takes to compete in top-tier CS:GO.
