Apeks, the Valorant team fresh off its promotion to the VCT through Ascension, has announced the signing of Ava “florescent” Eugene for the 2025 season. Florescent, known for her dominance on the Game Changers circuit, joins a VCT Partner team, marking a historic event as the first Game Changers player to join the VCT. At just 18, the Canadian prodigy is set to make her professional debut in the EMEA region at the VCT 2025 EMEA Kickoff in January.
This action follows an incredible run with Shopify Rebellion, where florescent secured consecutive VCT Game Changers Championships in 2023 and 2024. Her honors comprise MVP awards in each tournament, highlighting her remarkable skill and adaptability as a duelist. Significantly, her showing at the 2023 Game Changers Championship in São Paulo featured an Average Combat Score (ACS) of 281 and 112 kills across five maps in the grand final. In 2024, she exceeded even those achievements, earning a 317 ACS and 74 kills in just three maps to secure the title in Berlin.

Florescent joins Apeks amidst roster changes following their success in the 2024 VCT Ascension EMEA.The exits of Dom “soulcas” Sulcas to KOI and Kajetan “kaajak” Haremski to Fnatic have left the team with substantial responsibilities to assume. Her addition is expected to bring fresh energy to the lineup, likely taking on the role of the team’s primary duelist. Apeks’ head coach, DANNYTO, expressed his excitement, stating,
Regardless of her superiority in the Game Changers arena, florescent’s move to the wider VCT circuit signifies a considerable obstacle. Traditionally, Game Changers teams have faced difficulties achieving success in open qualifiers and against mixed-gender rivals. Nonetheless, her transfer to Apeks is proof of her preparedness to compete at the top tier. We hope this move is a game changer for her and that she can prove her worth in the highest level of competition.
Florescent via social media:
“Making the jump to VCT has always been my goal since day one” “I’m very proud of the success my team had these last two years, but I now feel ready to take the next step.”
With florescent’s signing, Apeks look poised to make waves in the EMEA VCT circuit. As the team continues to finalize its roster, fans eagerly await the announcement of their final addition. With the backing of a rising star and a championship-winning coach, Apeks is setting the stage for an exciting 2025 season.
