Apeks have added Dennis "⁠dennis⁠" Edman to their lineup for the short term, as he will fill in for Haakon "⁠Radifaction⁠" Tholo in the upcoming Elisa Invitational.

The Norwegian team announced the benching of Radifaction on Monday, citing unsatisfactory results over an eight-month period, and originally revealed that they would be fielding their coach Pål "⁠Polly⁠" Kammen as a stand-in until they find a long-term replacement.
