In a stunning turn of events at the 2024 Valorant Champions Tour (VCT) 2024 EMEA Kickoff, Team Heretics has defied all odds and reached the Grand Finals, securing qualification to VCT Masters Madrid. Although no one expected this young roster to be in contention, they've silenced skeptics by clinching their spot without dropping a single map.

Team Heretics' journey in the EMEA Kickoff has been nothing short of spectacular. Each of their victories has been a decisive 2-0 victory. Their dominance was on full display as they swept aside formidable adversaries, including the Turkish superteam on FUT and former VALORANT world champion, cNed.

Notably, their clash against the NAVI roster, led by Ardiis, proved to be their toughest challenge yet. After a nail-biting overtime victory on their opponent's map choice of Sunset, Team Heretics delivered a crushing blow on Breeze, showcasing their resilience and tactical prowess.

Prior to the season's commencement, experts had written off Team Heretics, citing their lack of experience and the inclusion of a substitute player. However, it's been the emergence of MiniBoo, the younger sibling of in-game leader Boo, that has been the standout. Leading the event in multiple statistical categories, including ACS and first kills per round, MiniBoo's stellar performance has been instrumental in Team Heretics' success.
