Things got interesting in the world of CS: GO. Norwegian ESports team Apeks announced the signing of Martin “Nasty” Garvik. The newcomer signs a short term trial deal. He will try out for the team until the rest of the year.

Details about the Deal –

Apeks paid the buyout clause in Nasty’s contract with 777 ESports. He signs a temporary trialist contract for the rest of the year. Apeks further added that the deal involved a substantial fee and that it is a step to professionalize the ESports industry in Norway. The deal also signals an attempt on Apeks part to create a good cooperation between the Norwegian clubs.

Here’s what Nasty had to say –

“Signing for Apeks is a huge deal for me. To me this is a golden opportunity to show what I got and I appreciate getting this chance a lot. I’m looking forward to playing with some of the best players in Norway, and becoming the best together. Being a fulltime CS:GO player is a completely new thing to me, and I’ve got butterflies in my stomach just thinking about it. With that said, I’m leaving a great gang in 777 behind and I will miss them alot. I wish them all good luck in the future”
