Dennis "⁠dennis⁠" Edman will continue his stand-in stint with Apeks in the Home Sweet Home Cup 3 and in BLAST Rising, the organization has announced.

The Swede will stay with the team for up to two more weeks as Apeks are still one man short, having placed Haakon "⁠Radifaction⁠" Tholo on the bench in late April after a string of unsatisfactory results.

dennis first stood in for Apeks during the Elisa Invitational, in which the Norwegian side missed out on a spot at the BLAST Spring Showdown after going out in the deciding semi-finals following a loss to ENCE.

The team have already begun their campaign in Home Sweet Home Cup 3, where they are part of Group A alongside Virtus.pro, AVEZ, and Sprout. An opening overtime loss to the CIS-based squad earlier on Tuesday has placed them in the elimination match, where they'll face the loser of the Polish-German matchup.

BLAST's new Rising tournament, intended for up-and-coming teams, has also commenced, with Apeks set to play out Group C with FATE, Japaleno, and Movistar Riders on Wednesday.

Apeks' lineup for the two tournaments looks as follows:

Ole "⁠Marcelious⁠" Kristian Langan
Erik "⁠truth⁠" Hansen Dyrnes
Kristian "⁠akez⁠" Kornbakk
Sander "⁠Grus⁠" Iversen
Dennis "⁠dennis⁠" Edman (stand-in)
