Copenhagen's prestigious PGL CS2 Major European RMR B tournament kicked off with a bang as Apeks asserted their dominance with a decisive 13-5 victory over OG in a gripping Ancient showdown. With the stakes high and the competition fierce, Apeks' display was not just a win but a statement of intent, setting a high bar for the matches to follow.

Leading the charge for Apeks was none other than Joakim 'jkaem' Myrbostad, whose unparalleled performance earned him the MVP title, boasting an impressive score of 9.5. The Norwegian veteran's prowess was on full display as he racked up kill after kill, showcasing a masterclass in precision and strategic gameplay.

The Apeks squadron saw notable contributions across the board, with Martin 'STYKO' Styk and Ådne 'sense' Fredriksen securing scores of 6.9 and 6.2 respectively. These numbers reflect their solid support, contributing crucially to the team's overall success. Tim 'nawwk' Jonsson and Shahar 'flameZ' Shushan, though not at the top of the scoreboard, played their roles effectively, adding to the collective effort with scores hovering around the 6.0 and 5.3 marks.

On the opposing side, OG's lineup faced an uphill battle. Despite 'HeavyGod' topping their score charts with a respectable 6.6, it was not enough to thwart Apeks' onslaught. 

The day was particularly challenging for OG's F1KU, whose efforts culminated in a score of 4.4. This statistic, while not painting the full picture, hints at the hardships and potential areas for improvement as the team looks to regroup and forge ahead in the tournament.

As Apeks revels in their initial triumph, the tournament progresses with anticipation for the upcoming clashes between Preasy Esport and Heroic, and Astralis versus Nexus Gaming, both slated for 19 February at 16:00. These matchups promise to deliver more of the high-octane action that fans have come to expect from the European RMR.
