The full story of apEX's career, in 8 chapters.
Dan "apEX" Madesclaire is a 33-year-old French in-game leader for Team Vitality. He has won four Majors, played 22 of them and holds 38 LAN titles.
apEX's career is dated to 2009 and the Source era, with a long list of Source teams before Global Offensive. In CS:GO he moved through Team LDLC.com, Clan-Mystik, then Titan in September 2014, and Team EnVyUs in July 2015. He was ranked 15th in the Top 20 for 2014 and 18th for 2015.
At EnVyUs he won his first Major, DreamHack Open Cluj-Napoca 2015, and reached the final of ESL One Cologne 2015. He changed teams in each of the four French shuffles.
apEX joined G2 Esports on 3 February 2017. G2 benched him in June 2018, and he signed with the newly formed Vitality on 8 October 2018 as part of their founding roster.
He moved from entry fragging into the in-game leader role in March 2020, after ALEX left Vitality.
Vitality won the BLAST.tv Paris Major 2023, then the BLAST.tv Austin Major 2025 and the StarLadder Budapest Major 2025. With Cluj-Napoca 2015 that makes four Major wins.
The other Major results are mixed. Vitality finished 3-4th at PGL CS2 Major Copenhagen 2024, lost in the quarter-finals at the Perfect World Shanghai Major 2024 and went out in the quarter-finals of the IEM Cologne Major 2026. Twenty-two Majors played is a record he shares with karrigan.

He was named IGL of the Year for 2023 and 2025. The summer of 2026 was uneven: on 25 July Liquid ended Vitality's 24-event playoff streak. On 19 August his and ZywOo's contract extensions made the news, and his contract is listed as running to December 2028.
apEX leads Vitality as their in-game leader. His attribute profile as of 30 September 2026 (40 maps) scores him 94 out of 100 for Utility, 61 for Trading, 52 for Entrying, 51 for Opening and 50 for Clutching. Firepower is 24 and Sniping 0.
The AK-47 is his top weapon by kills, followed by the M4A1-S and the M4A4. His Rating 3.0 is 0.93 over the last three months (54 maps) and 0.94 over the last 12 months (192 maps).
