Team Vitality's founding member may be on the move to reunite with his former coach.
Vitality's captain apEX is reportedly the desired target for Team Falcons, who want him to take over as the team's ingame leader in 2025. Falcon's current IGL Snappi would move to the bench.
Falcons targeting stars, a future superteam?
Russian insider harumi claims that the 31-year-old Frenchman is Falcon's next big transfer target. They already secured the transfer of G2's NiKo, as well as the imminently returning s1mple. The latter has been out of the scene for more than half a year, last appearing at BLAST Spring Showdown, standing in for Falcons.

Team Vitality's Twitter/X admin was quick to dismiss the rumor, however harumi's information have been proven correct more often than not in the past.
apEX has been with Vitality for almost six years now. Founding what was a fully-French roster alongside the likes of NBK- and ZywOo in 2018.
A move over to the Saudi org would reunite him with his former coach zonic. Together they won multiple S-Tier events over the course of 2022 and 2023, most notably the last ever CS:GO Major, held in Paris.

This move would have massive implications for both teams, giving Falcons another piece to their puzzle, whilst leaving Vitality without their old reliable captain and emotional leader.
What do you think? Will Vitality's captain agree to the transfer?
