benjyfishy to play with Team Heretics in LCQ of VCT EMEA

According to different reports in the last hours, Benjy “benjyfishy” Fish, one of the best Fortnite players in history and currently 100% dedicated to VALORANT, would play for Team Heretics in the VCT EMEA.

Recall that benjyfishy was one of the great professional Fortnite players in recent years. However, with the fall in popularity of the competitive scene of this Battle Royale and the departure of many organizations, the player decided to leap into the competitive VALORANT. Now, he could take a much higher leap by joining an established organization in the VCT EMEA League, such as Team Heretics.

Benjyfishy would join Team Heretics to play the VCT EMEA LCQ

While it is true that benjyfishy is only 19 years old, he is a well-known player in the professional esports scene. His achievements in Fortnite at a much younger age put him in the spotlight of the esports community at large.

Now, according to esports journalist Alejandro “anonimotum” Gomis, the British and former Fortnite player would have a verbal agreement to join Team Heretics at VCT EMEA. In addition, it was also reported that the player is likely to debut with the team in the LCQ (Last Chance Qualifier) of the VCT EMEA.

However, this addition of benjyfishy to the Team Heretics lineup is subject to approval by Riot Games. Recall that no VCT team can change its lineup in the middle of a season. However, reports highlight that if this addition is approved, benjyfishy could have a contract beyond just playing the LCQ.

If this move comes to fruition, there is no doubt that it will be a giant step forward for benjyfishy in his quest to become a VALORANT player at the highest competitive level. Recall that the former Fortnite player switched to Riot’s shooter about one year ago.

In December, the 19-year-old Briton joined Enterprise Esports to play the VCL East: Surge. His game is based on agents like Killjoy, as this is where he has shown his best level of play in VALORANT. So far, benjyfishy has good stats playing in VALORANT’s Challengers scene, as he presents 216.6 ACS and a 1.12 K/D ratio.

After the second phase of the VCL East: Surge, benjyfishy announced his departure from the team despite his team qualifying for the VCT 2023: Ascension EMEA Play-In.

Team Heretics has not shown its best level in the season.

There is no doubt that Team Heretics is one of the teams that has shown a very poor performance in the entire 2023 VCT season. The team exits in the first round of the VCT LOCK//IN São Paulo 2023, and in the VCT EMEA League, the team had a 2-7 record, failing to qualify for the playoffs.

The team’s problems increased in the sixth week of the VCT EMEA League, as they announced that Aleksander “zeek” Zygmunt would be on the team’s bench due to “personality problems.”. As a result, one of the team’s coaches, Brandon “weber” Weber, had to play as a starter for the remainder of the regular season.

If Riot approves Benjyfishy’s signing with Team Heretics, we will see him debut at the VCT EMEA LCQ 2023, played between July 15-23, 2023. Remember that this tournament will grant a single quota for the next VALORANT Champions 2023.
