Also, I wanted to give a shout-out & massive respect to
@RieNs
for performing that well given the circumstances and I personally believe people are underestimating what it means to play online & often only see the positive things.
It's not only playing online...1/2
First & important match with
@WootVL
meant also 4 days of high-intense preparation & implementing him well with little time. A challenging week ends with a win against TL.
@neilzinho
@weber_vl
@BooVAL1
& the team worked in an outstanding way to make it work. Super proud
#THWin
Thank you
@TeamLiquid
for securing the 10 rounds that quick to lock Playoffs for us but also saving us a trip to the studio for a potential Tie-Breaker 🤝
We secure the 2nd Final of this year, another Championship point & more importantly a day off before the Final.
These last days were draining but happy that it paid off. Team is amazing - See you Sunday ✌️
#VamosHeretics
Needs a lot to comeback twice like this & believe in the preparation. Never surrender & round by round.
Submitting the Visa applications for China yesterday already showed our confidence going in this week - Playoffs almost locked
#VamosHeretics
After multiple trys in multiple countries. The worst fight in Esports (Visa) is finally over & won - Visa for the season secured as well.
Thank you Mr. Spain 🇪🇸
Fair to say we saw two of the top teams in this event today. Two elimination games coming up next to get to Playoffs.
Convinced we will also meet
@Sentinels
there again.
Thanks to the amazing crowd!
#VamosHeretics
Really happy to have him on board since January already. We saw his good work & signed him immediately. Helped Coaches a lot with preparation & also deserves a lot of credits for our recent results.
In case people are wondering - If Gentlemates wins 2-0 against Team Liquid on Friday we would need 7 rounds from Liquid to cause a Tie-Breaker & 8 rounds overall on both maps to secure playoffs for us.
"All roads lead to Shanghai".
We beat
@KarmineCorp
2-1 and move to 3-2 in the first split of the season. This friday we'll know if we make the playoffs.
#VamosHeretics
Unfortunately this ends our tournament in Madrid. Proud of the guys & nothing to be sad about even if it hurts for the moment. We showed that we are more than capable of competing with the worldclass.
#VamosHeretics
Seeing a 17 years old player putting that much effort in & hosting his own Watchparty in Balıkesir, Türkiye with a crowd & everything around it is simply amazing.
If you are living around this area you should definitely visit the event to see the future of VCT EMEA Valorant.
Hi guys as u know i won't play in first VCT tournament
BUT I HAVE SO GOOD NEWS ABOUT IT
I HAVE VCT WATCHPARTY FOR HERETICS MATCHES
CYA THERE
#VamosHeretics
Updated tierlist for VCT 2024. If LEV move nzr, they would drop to A in my opinion.
Under these rankings, my predicted Madrid qualified teams would be FNC, NAVI, PRX, BLD, LEV, NRG, EDG, BLG.
Plenty of teams have a great chance to make that list.
Playing our first qualification match for Masters Shanghai 🇨🇳 against

today at 20:00 - Winner gets the chance to roll the dices at the Visa-Lottery 🍀🎲
This ends the Kick-Off Tournament -
Super proud of the team & the progress since we are clearly going into the right direction. Proud that the guys never gave up, kept up the positive energy & comms at any given moment.
Convinced we will get them in Madrid
#VamosHeretics
Today we finished the VCT All Years Playerboard for the 2024 Season - A

idea to honor the players & staff that were & will be part of Team Heretics

Arrived in Madrid for our Bootcamp. In the next 2 weeks we will prepare for the upcoming 2024 Valorant Season & make sure to create the best possible environment for our young & incredible players.
1/3
Well summarized by Oscar.
Flying in Wo0t & let him play without practice is not what we were looking for & since we still strongly believe in
@paTiTek
this was the logical step to do. As mentioned in the video we can only say good things about him so if there is any question lmk
- Hoy será el último partido de
@paTiTek
con Heretics.
- Patitek esta abierto a ofertas para entrar en equipos de franquicias.
-
@WootVL
entrará como titular a partir de la semana que viene.
- Conscientes de que podrian bajar el nivel a corto plazo confian en Woot al 100%.
Esta es la Tier List de
@PlatChatPodcast
para la VCT Valorant 2024.
KOI último, KRÜ y Heretics en tier D, GIANTX tier C y Leviatán tier S. ¿Qué opináis? Igual tiene que volver un programín... 👀
It's also being without the team & on your own before & after the game, not being able to talk to them in breaks & not being able to participate in team activities, celebrations & the day-to-day life. We try to include him as much as possible & I'm proud of how he handles it. 2/2
Not much to add here - Happy to have the possibilities & the help from Heretics to support education. Obviously having a roster where everyone can & does step in for each other helps a lot as well.
#VamosHeretics
Simply not what we expected but we go next. Again massive thank you to
@paTiTek
for being a key part of the team in the last months. We will watch you 🤝
Much more impressive considering that other teams had more weeks of preparation while we played Masters in Madrid, faced food poisoning, had exams & visa issues. Just shows how well the team is prepared & how good the fundamentals are this year. Vitality next-
#VamosHeretics
Also happy to welcome
@paTiTek
in the team. PaTiTek will fill in for the Kick-Off tournament & for the first Masters Event in Madrid in 2024 since we have to wait until Wo0t turns 18.
We signed him over 2 weeks ago & made the announcement without a leak 🤝
Every week after LEC we have a small cultural event where one member of the team talks about his country and his friends/family, our amazing Chef Moe prepares some local food. Today was a polish night! Golonka, karpatka, żubrówka and tyskie. Got to talk about my cat 🥰
24 hours after these 5 Yordles arrived in our
@MisfitsggLoL
facility 1 of them is already missing. Sadly agent
@LoL_HiRit
couldn't deliver any useful information today so we are still investigating. What happened to Lulu ? Who is the prime suspect ?🧐
Happy with the results this weekend given the fact that a lose versus KOI would've meant a 10th place in Championship Points in 2023.
Now we got a chance in 1 Best of 5 vs. Fnatic on Friday to secure LEC Finals & getting a realistic shot for worlds this year - Crazy Journey 👀
Paintball with the boys was a blast. I won a 1v5 but ended up one shotting the new boy. Apologies. So much fun tho and it’s the second time I’ve ended up falling flat on my face doing games with a Valorant team 😅
Visa Issues are the most disappointing things existing in Esports & it won't change until tournament organizers & goverments around the world provide a more reliable way of supporting Visa cases for Esports. Losing your achievements because of this is devastating.
All PGL CS2 Major Copenhagen 2024 teams were required to be in Denmark by March 14. Despite multiple extended deadlines, 9Pandas could only line up 3 eligible players today.
As a result, PGL has replaced them with GamerLegion for the tournament.
#PGLMAJOR
There will be downs & disappointments in this process, which I think considering their lack of experience is normal, but the peaks will be outstanding.
Thank you for reading & let's have an incredible 2024 VCT-Season!

Happy to announce that I joined
@MisfitsGG
as the new Team Manager ! I'm sure we can achieve a lot this season. A special shout-out to all the other staff members - They welcomed me with open arms and it already feels like home.
Unfortunately the tournament in Istanbul already ends for us & we couldn't make it to the Finals Day.
However, seeing how well the team already worked & interacted with each together after only having a few practice days shows me that there will be a promising future.
#THWIN
There are still 5 days left to apply for this role & the chance to join our team in Berlin - Please make sure to apply if you think you tick most of the boxes - Happy to respond / forward to any question about the day-to-day work with the Valorant Team
Do you want to work with elite esports teams?
We are looking for a Lead Performance Coach to support our LEC and VCT squads.
Place: Berlin

More details 👇🏻
Since benjy joined the Valorant Team he was mentioning that he could win against all of his teammates in Fortnite - Let the games begin to finish our Bootcamp in Madrid
Off-Season
As you already know our roster changes were made earlier than in other teams given the fact that we had … extra time.
All the players picked were first choice selections & the team around
@neilzinho
&
@weber_vl
did a really good job here.
2/12
Also adding here that
@WootVL
is already with us in the Studio today to get used to the matchday procedures and also learn from the experienced ones here. Couldn't be more happy to have a player like Pati for that transition here & I'm confident that this is not his last VCT game
Ayer Weber, assistant coach de Heretics Valorant, volvió a jugar rankeds después de más de 3 meses.
Nada raro si no fuera porque hay rumores de que Riens tiene problemas para obtener la visa para viajar al kickoff a tiempo. ¿Vuelve TH Huever? 🧐
The schedule changed to 5-Scrim-Days, 1 Team-Activity-Day & 1 Off-Day per Week. An approach that is very unpopular in the “Grind-dominated” Esports Environment & I'm 100% sure that the “outside of the game effort” & awareness for the humans behind the nicknames will pay off. 7/12
We are very lucky that we got a VCT-Ready Player for the time until Wo0t turns 18 & in the future
@paTiTek
will be an upgrade for a lot of the teams out there. Besides that we also signed a new Analyst
@pablolo_vlr
that is helping us a lot.

Last Words before Kick-Off
At the end I just want to vouch again for the team + coaches. Please make sure to support them throughout the full season & give them all the support they need & deserve. All of them deserve to get your support & trust for the full season.
