Reportedly, Heretics bench Perkz ahead of 2024 LEC Spring Split

Team Heretics Benches Perkz: Rookie Zwyroo to Replace Him

In a surprising turn of events, Team Heretics has made the decision to bench their mid laner, Perkz, from his starting position on the team. This move comes as Heretics looks to bring in rookie mid laner Zwyroo as Perkz’s replacement, as reported by Sheep Esports.

A Disappointing Run for Perkz with Heretics

Perkz’s time with Heretics was less than stellar, as the team finished in seventh place during the LEC regular split with a record of 4-5. Their performance in the Winter Split playoffs was even more disheartening, with losses in both playoff series.

In the winners bracket, Heretics suffered a sweep at the hands of Team BDS, while in the losers bracket, they were eliminated by SK Gaming after initially taking a 1-0 lead in the series. Throughout these two playoff matches, Perkz had a KDA of 2.7 and struggled with negative early-game gold and XP differentials, according to Games of Legends, a League stats site.

Looking to the Future with Zwyroo

With the decision to bench Perkz, Team Heretics is placing its faith in rookie mid laner Zwyroo. This move reflects the team’s desire to bring fresh talent into the mix and potentially improve their overall performance. Only time will tell if this decision proves beneficial for Heretics in their future endeavors.
