However, it is also widely known that the biggest star in the Misfits roster and the reigning LEC MVP Vincent ‘Vetheo’ Berrié’s contract will be ending after the Split. Misfits currently have some strong prospects in Mertai ‘Mersa’ Sari and Joel ‘Irrelevant’ Miro Scharoll, and Team Heretics has probably the most prominent young ADC in all ERLs, Jakob ‘Jackspektra’ Gullvag Kepple. When both LVP and LEC end and it all settles, it will be interesting to see what kind of roster building will Heretics go with. In November 2021, Heretics were invited to LVP SL 2nd Division and just a month later they acquired the LVP spot of Cream Real Betis.Īfter a rough first split where they finished eight during Spring 2022, they quickly improved their team and as of now, they are tied for first in the league with just one game remaining in the Summer Split. Heretics first entered the League of Legends scene in January 2017, but their rise to the public spotlight and popularity started in late 2021. They have teams competing in other esports like CS:GO, Call of Duty and Valorant. Team Heretics is a Spanish esports organization founded in August 2016 by the Spanish YouTuber Jorge ‘Goorgo’ Orejudo.


In a press release, Misfits co-founder and CEO Ben Spoont said that the decision wasn’t made lightly and: “… ran an exhaustive process vetting numerous interested offer parties and came to the decision that Team Heretics was the right selection to continue on as responsible stewards of the league.” LEC is not the only league Misfits will be leaving, as this Summer will also be the last split for Misfits Premier, who is competing in the LFL. The handover will take effect after the current split ends, and Team Heretics will play their first LEC season with the start of the 2023 Spring Split. The actual buy-out is closer to €34-36M, the previously rumored number was near to €50M, which is much closer to what Schalke 04 got from BDS for their slot. We didn’t have to wait too long for an official announcement, as the official Twitter page for Team Heretics just posted a statement about the news where they confirmed the sale.
