Look Sports Media – Canadian Valorant star Erik "penny" Penny is set to make a significant splash in the VCT EMEA scene. According to reports from looksports.media, the talented player has signed with Apeks, bolstering their roster for the crucial second split. This move comes as a lifeline for Apeks, the reigning Ascension EMEA champions, who are fighting to avoid relegation back to Tier 2.
Penny first gained international recognition at Valorant Masters Toronto in May. Stepping in as an emergency substitute for Team Liquid’s Ayaz "nAts" Akhmetshin due to visa issues, Penny impressed audiences with his exceptional gameplay. His standout performance, particularly a 30-18 KD on Phoenix in a thrilling overtime victory against Bilibili Gaming, cemented his reputation.
Despite rumors of a permanent contract with Team Liquid, which stemmed from a misunderstanding regarding his substitute status, Penny remained with Tier 2 NA team YFP until this high-profile signing. He confirmed his move to Berlin earlier this morning, following cryptic social media hints.

Penny’s arrival fills the void left by Peter "Governor" No, who departed Apeks in April due to injury. Speculation surrounding a potential signing of Aliaksander "SimonD4rk" Skoubel has seemingly been put to rest.
Apeks face a challenging task to avoid relegation. A playoff berth is essential for survival; anything less will see them demoted. The VCT EMEA kicks off on July 16th, with Masters Toronto finalists Fnatic aiming for back-to-back split victories. The stakes are high, and Penny’s addition could be the game-changer Apeks desperately need. The pressure is on, but with Penny’s talent, the team’s chances of staying in the top tier have just significantly increased.
