Team Heretics has announced a significant change to their League of Legends roster ahead of the 2024 LoL EMEA Championship Spring Split. Reports suggest that veteran mid laner Perkz will be benched, making room for the debut of Zwyroo, a promising newcomer to the European League of Legends Championship.
After a lackluster performance in the previous split, where Heretics struggled to secure a favorable position in the standings, the organization seems determined to revamp its lineup. Perkz, who joined the team for just one split, faced criticism for underwhelming results, culminating in a disappointing seventh-place finish in the LEC.
Zwyroo, despite being relatively new to the LEC stage, brings a wealth of experience from his tenure in professional League of Legends. Although he has yet to compete in the LEC, his presence marks a strategic shift for Heretics, as they opt for fresh talent over established veterans.
The decision to bench Perkz not only signifies a change in personnel but also marks the end of an era for Heretics. Perkz, formerly part of the renowned mid-jungle duo alongside Jankos during their time with G2 Esports, failed to replicate their past success in 2024. With Perkz's departure, the once-promising trio's reunion appears to have reached its conclusion.
Heretics' roster overhaul doesn't end with the replacement of Perkz. Earlier, the team made another significant addition by signing veteran support Trymbi, signaling a commitment to strategic restructuring in preparation for the upcoming split.
