My Recap of the 2024 Season with APEKS 🧡💙
2024 has been a blast, after working as a volunteer for APEKS in 2023, they gave me the shot to build the team together with
@DANNYTO_vlr which I'm so grateful for. Especially thanks to Danny for getting me on board of the entire team building part of it. It was amazing to be a part of something from the scratch, and I absolutely loved his vision of how to put together the team. He put a lot of thought into the player chemistry and the vibes between the players, and it has been great to work with him over the season. Seeing his transition over the season into the Head Coach position has been nothing but amazing. He knows what the players need to hear when it matters the most. He always gave me space to speak my mind and built on my ideas. We had a lot of great fun over the season with various off meta comps, and crazy ideas. VCT is where you belong.
I also wanna thank all the players
@kaajakval @molsival @hypeVLR @soulcas_ @AvovAFPS for being so open to the ideas that I've brought up. It's my first time being on a team with players from VCT, and I was a bit scared at first that they'd be less likely to take on my advises and ideas. But they took everything with open arms and never complained or rejected anything, so thank you lot for that. You guys made the team what it is, with all the inside jokes and brainrot tiktok content. Bootcamps were always great fun outside of the scrims, many laughts and unforgettable moments.
I've learned a lot this year and improved in aspects I was lacking. I remember I had a conversation with
@mrg_coaching in the beginning of the season, and it really helped me realize what aspects I needed to improve on. Getting the chance to work with him again for Ascension meant a lot to the team. He helped empower our team chemistry to a whole other level, he built such a deep level of trust between us that we felt unstoppable.
I wanna touch lightly on the Ascension tournament. We had a rough start with our first loss vs GoNext and our close match vs CGN. We learned a lot as a team from these 2 games, and I believe having this experience made us a lot stronger, and was a main factor that we never stopped fighting in the Grand Final vs PCFIC.
Special thanks to
@Leonieeeeee__ for being the best manager. She stepped up when needed more than anyone can imagine, always covered our needs, made sure we never missed anything, overall made life a lot easier for everyone. She is just as much part of the teams success as anyone else.
I'll end it all with saying thanks to my friends and family who supported me on this run to VCT. They've always believed in me getting there, and I truly appreciate all the kind people who congratulated me on the win. THANK YOU!!! 🧡💙
