Creation
APS is a german CoD Mobile Esports Clan, originally created as an idea of a place for everyone to identify with, as the Clan should be rather seen as a family than a single team. Driven by this vision and supported by german Twitch Streamer "LPshake", APS nowadays is one of the most popular german Clans. Unusual for many Teams, the restrictions to join the self-proclaimed "Family for everyone" aren't that high as compared to other competitors. This also heavily relies on the fact, that APS has several teams, which represent different stages of competitive gameplay. New joined players usually start in a low ranked team and can achieve upranks through good performance. This system leads to a more open experience and more members competing against each other. According to the management this is the future of gaming, following the words of Satoru Iwata "Video games are just meant to be one thing. Fun. Fun for everyone!". This should result in a more direct perception of gaming, in which the popular players are more accessible to the fans, also supporting the more and more influential mobile gaming franchise and its fans.

Ruleset Complications
In early September APS started competing against other teams using the common "Universal Scrim Ruleset", which was following similar rules as the CDL 2020 Official Ruleset. In the next months, additional rulesets gained popularity like "Rank Rules" (offering nearly no restrictions, as the rules are based on the ingame ranked mode) or the "Mobile Mayhem Rules". This lead to some teams even creating unique rulesets and the possibility of having different teams for each ruleset. But again, this idea was overthrown, as it would have led to confusion and less support for each team.
