On December 6, the Norwegian esports team Apeks revealed a new addition to its VALORANT roster – 18-year-old player florescent has joined the team. The duelist, who has won the GC World Championship twice and been named MVP twice in a row, will now compete for titles in the international EMEA league.

Florescent began her VALORANT career in 2020, and after playing for several amateur teams, she joined Misfits Black in 2022. At just 16 years old, she led her team as a duelist and placed third at her first official tournament – VALORANT 2022 GC NA S3.

In January 2023, florescent continued her career with Version1 (later merged with Shopify Rebellion), where, alongside meL, alexis, Noia, and sarah, she claimed victory at VALORANT 2023 GC NA S1 and S2, as well as second place in S3. That same year, the team won the VALORANT GC CHAMPIONSHIP 2023, becoming world champions. This was florescent's second professional appearance, and she had already gained worldwide recognition by that time.

The year 2024 was especially successful for the player: she won three consecutive titles at VALORANT 2024 GC NA S1, S2, and S3, and also triumphed at the VALORANT GC CHAMPIONSHIP 2024 in Germany, not losing a single map during the tournament. Throughout all the matches, florescent demonstrated incredible results with a K/D of 1.72 and ACS of 310, contributing to her team's victory in the tournament.

Regarding her move to Apeks, florescent stated:

I’m proud of what the team has achieved over the past two years, but I’m ready to move on. Playing with the same team for two years straight is a rare experience, and I’ve learned a lot from that. My goal has always been to make it to VCT, and I’m grateful to Apeks for giving me the chance. I know I have a lot to prove, but I’m ready to work for it.

 

Apeks head coach, DANNYTO, commented:

We are thrilled that florescent has joined our team. Her performance in tryout matches was impressive, and she immediately became an important part of our squad. I see in her the drive to showcase her potential at the highest level, and her passion for the game is a key factor for us.
