The Spanish organization Team Heretics is extremely well known for many of their rosters, including squads in Fortnite and Rainbow Six: Siege. They also boast a French Counter-Strike: Global Offensive line-up which used to host David "davidp" Prins. Now, four years after their inception, the organization is entering VALORANT.

They started their VALORANT roster with the announcement of their captain, Christian "lowel" Garcia Antoran, who is now joined by Melih "pAura" Karaduran and Žygimantas "nukkye" Chmieliauskas. Sources have heavily indicated that the roster will be rounded out by Dustyn "niesoW" Durnas, Auni "AvovA" Chahade, and coach, Tanishq "Tanizhq" Sabharwal, which would make a majority of the team ones that competed in LVL VALORANT Clash 2 under Inferno.

loWel is an ex-Counter-Strike professional, known for his time in many international squads, such as mousesports, PENTA Sports, and HellRaisers, playing alongside Kirill "ANGE1" Karasiow and nukkye in the latter roster. He also played for Movistar Riders in multiple stints, winning a few regional events with the side, including ESL Masters España Season 7 and LVP - La Copa 2018. The 24 year old’s transition was more recent, only playing LVL VALORANT Clash 2 so far, where he fell out of the group stage with losses to GIANTX and Ninjas in Pyjamas.

His old teammate nukkye is also a recent mover into VALORANT. He had multiple Counter-Strike stints in HellRaisers after his star showing in The Imperial, which gave him wins at the Copenhagen Games 2018 and DreamHack Open Summer 2018. In the latter half of 2019, the Lithuanian had runner-up spots at WePlay! Forge of Masters Season 1 and the DreamHack Delhi Invitational 2019.

pAura, has been a Cypher main throughout VALORANT, playing in Turkish stacks with Team Turkey and looking4org, but went more international in the last couple of months, where he finished second at The Vitality European Open , averaging 241 ACS across his 17 maps in the event.

The last three members according to sources are AvovA, nieSoW, and Tanizhq, all hailing from different backgrounds. The coach, Tanizhq is extremely experienced, with a long list of teams he had managed and coached for in Overwatch. nieSoW is an extremely talented Cypher, taking a lot of his skills from his experiences in Battalion 1944. Lastly there is AvovA who had really come into his own in VALORANT, impressing peers with great performances with Team123.

Team Heretics’ entry into VALORANT is:

Spain Christian "loWel" Garcia Antoran Turkey Melih "pAura" Karaduran Lithuania Žygimantas "nukkye" Chmieliauskas

With sources indicating the roster will be completed by:

Denmark Auni "AvovA" Chahade Germany Dustin "nieSoW" Durnas
