Alessandro "Apoka" Marcucci (born December 9, 1985) is a Brazilian professional Counter-Strike: Global Offensive coach and former Counter-Strike player and coach.
In September 2020, Apoka received a 5.4-month ban from all ESIC member events starting September 28, 2020 for exploiting a coach spectating bug during his time at Luminosity Gaming, INTZ eSports, and BOOM Esports. [1] His ban was quietly reduced following an appeal to ESIC dating back to November 2020 but only being ratified on April 13, 2021; the reduction in his ban would have ended his ban on January 15, 2021. [2]
Additionally, Apoka received a permanent ban from Valve events due to exploiting the coaching bug. [3]
Achievements[edit]
Trivia[edit]
- Apoka's nickname is the diminutive of his old nickname "Apocalypse", he had to change it because he lost a 1v1 against a guy with the same nickname (they had bet that the winner would stay with the nickname). bit and dread actually played the 1v1 for him but they still lost it.
- Was elected by public the best coach of 2021 in Brazil at Gamers Club Awards. [4]
