APEX

apEX was already an iconic figure on the French scene long before wearing the bee's colors. Known for his legendary aggression as an entry fragger, Dan Madesclaire first made his mark with Titan and then EnVyUs, where he won his first world championship title in 2015. Characterized by overflowing passion and a fiery temperament, he quickly became an essential pillar of French esports, capable of breaking any defense with his audacity.

Arriving at the creation of the Counter-Strike section at Team Vitality in 2018, the veteran completely reinvented himself. He abandoned his role as a pure attacker to become the team's "In-Game Leader". Alongside ZywOo, he shaped the team's identity and proved his game sense by leading his troops with extraordinary resilience. His recent achievements are breathtaking: after the historic triumph in Paris in 2023, he led Vitality to a record-breaking 2025 with 9 trophies, including the Austin Major and Budapest Major double, as well as the Intel Grand Slam. In early 2026, he already added IEM Kraków and PGL Cluj-Napoca to his display.

With over 30 international trophies won across three different versions of the game, apEX now stands as one of the most decorated and respected leaders in Counter-Strike history.
