This team is certain to have one of the best journeys in VCT 2024. Team Heretics became the first seeded team in Group B to enter the Champions 2024 Playoffs. The obstacles may have arisen early for them when they faced a sweep from Leviatán in their upper bracket semifinals. 

Yet, their incredible resilience shined through when the European team took the win against the hometown favorites in the lower bracket. They managed to defeat the likes of DRX and Sentinels for a shot at the championship.

The Rematch Against Leviatán

It was sweet revenge for Team Heretics as they eliminated Leviatán for championship contention. On August 24, 2024, the INSPIRE Arena in Incheon, South Korea, saw an intense lower bracket final match between these teams. In their previous match, Leviatán won the upper bracket to bring Heretics down to the lower bracket. 

This time, Team Heretics turned around the tides as they dominated the game series 3-1.

In their four matches, both teams displayed an exchange of amazing gameplay and resilience. They kicked off the series in Icebox, which ended with a Heretics win to set the tempo of the series at 13–7. Moving on to their second match, close contention happened in Sunset between the teams, leading to an overtime. Eventually, Heretics won 15-13 to show their grit as a team. 

It’s a reversed card from the Heretics’ performance against Sentinels. Leviatán was able to secure a 13-9 match win against Heretics to conclude the Abyss map. Their fourth and final match showcased complete dominance from Team Heretics. They handed Leviatán a devastating 13-3 loss in Lotus. A near-flawless performance for Heretics closed out the series. 

Team Performance

All players on Team Heretics contributed significantly throughout the series for a well-rounded team performance. RieNs, in particular, led the team with a series-best of 68 kills and 36 assists. MiniBoo followed his performance to add 66 kills and 18 assists to the team’s performance. 

Aside from them, benjyshy contributed a close showing of 60 kills and 15 assists. With 59 kills and 18 assists from Boo and 57 kills and a series-high of 53 assists from Wo0t, it sealed the team’s dominating performance.

Their well-distributed and collective effort made them tough to beat, as teams would have to contain Heretics as a whole to win. 

The Grand Finals Stage

Team Heretics is now guaranteed at least a second-place finish for the tournament with $400,000 in prize money. However, they are also a step closer to the ultimate prize of a world championship title and a $1 million grand prize. With all this, the team will have to take big risks for big wins. 

As China’s EDward Gaming stands to block their way towards the championship, Team Heretics is left to set up dominating plays for victory. EDG emerged as one of the most formidable teams in the tournament as they swept powerhouses in the group and playoff stages. With their explosive performance, they secured the first VCT 2024 Finals spot.
