Team Heretics has unveiled their highly anticipated roster for the upcoming 2024 VCT season, featuring a talented lineup of emerging European players. With a focus on nurturing young talent, the team aims to build a formidable presence in the EMEA VALORANT scene.
The new roster includes brothers Ričardas “Boo” Lukaševičius and Dominykas “MiniBoo” Lukaševičius, who bring their expertise and passion to the team. Joining them are rising stars Benjy “benjyfishy” Fish from VCL East, as well as Turkish prospects Enes “RieNs” Ecirli and Mert “Wo0t” Alkan.
This roster marks a significant shift for Team Heretics, as they bid farewell to Óscar “mixwell” Cañellas, who recently announced his retirement. The team’s reveal video showcases the new lineup, with benjyfishy heading off to Berlin for training with his new teammates. The video aptly dubs the 2024 roster as “Los Niños” and “the kids dynasty.”
With Boo as the oldest player at 25, the rest of the roster consists of players under 19 years old, bringing a fresh and youthful energy to the team. Despite their age, these players have already made a name for themselves in their respective regions, earning accolades such as Rookie of the Season and Season MVP.
Each player in the roster has a specific role, ensuring a well-rounded and cohesive team dynamic. Boo takes on the role of Controller and In-Game Leader, while MiniBoo showcases his duelist skills. Wo0t brings flexibility to the team, RieNs excels as an Initiator, and benjyfishy takes on the role of Sentinel.
While this lineup is still theoretical, it showcases the players’ experience and potential in their respective roles. With time and practice, the team is expected to develop strong chemistry, particularly with the existing bond between the Lithuanian brothers. Mixed rosters have proven successful in EMEA VALORANT, as demonstrated by teams like Fnatic.
With the right support and circumstances, this Heretics roster has the potential to not only surprise in the 2024 season but also establish themselves as a force to be reckoned with in the years to come.
