Background to the Rumors

Since the major in Copenhagen in March 2024, rumors have emerged suggesting that the star of G2 Esports, Nikola "NiKo" Kovač, might join Falcons in 2025. However, these talks never materialized. Now, with a new wave of rumors, the focus has shifted to apEX — insiders such as harumi and OverDrive suggest that the French captain could be the next acquisition for Falcons.

Insider harumi stated on his Telegram channel that Falcons might replace Snappi with apEX by 2025, but noted that there are no concrete agreements as of yet.

Specifics and Reactions from Organizations

Unlike the rumors about NiKo, this time both Vitality and Falcons quickly addressed the rumors. Vitality's official X account posted a photo of apEX with the comments "Official response. HAHAHAHA," which was perceived as a denial.

Falcons also took to X to respond, posting an image of famous American sports analyst Stephen A. Smith with the caption "Delusional." This was a clear hint that the rumors about apEX's transfer are far from reality.

Possible Changes in Teams

Nonetheless, despite the emphatic denials, the rumors continue to gain momentum. It is quite possible that Falcons' interest in apEX is tied to their preparation for 2025, especially after the team took Oleksandr "s1mple" Kostyliev on loan until the end of 2024.
