Apeks Apeks Europe Rank #26 MOLSI Michał Łącki AvovA Auni Chahade batujnax Mehmet Batu Özaslan announced that Peter "Governor" No will be stepping away from competitive play due to a persisting injury.

Governor joined Apeks just before the beginning of EMEA Stage 1. The move to Europe came just a few weeks after parting ways with TALON TALON Asia-Pacific Rank #14 Killua Tanate Teerasawad thyy Anupong Preamsak Crws Thanamethk Mahatthananuyut JitBoyS Jittana Nokngam primmie Papaphat Sriprapha , and also came with a role change for the well-travelled player. While he was mainly TALON's Duelist player during his time with the Thai organization, he was Apeks' go-to Initiator player, with most of his maps on Tejo and Sova.

Governor left TALON after just over one season, and is now likely to have his first long break from competitive play since beginning his career.

"I've been dealing with some hand numbness/pain and it's been affecting me both physically and mentally," Governor said on X. "I‘ve been seeing professional help and doing my best to play through it but at this point I know it'll be best for everyone if I just take a proper break."

This is the second wave of bad news this week for Apeks fans, as star Duelist florescent also announced her intentions to go on a hiatus for the remainder of the season.

"I really regret trying to play through it and not doing this sooner but I really thought it'd get better and thats why I kept pushing," Governor said. "I know now though that its definitely time to just give it some rest. I'll work hard and come back stronger when I'm ready."

With Governor and florescent stepping down from the active roster, Apeks' full roster is now:
