Team Heretics has announced major changes to its League of Legends roster for the 2024 Spring Split, aiming to address shortcomings from the previous season. Veteran mid-laner Luka “Perkz” Perković will be benched, with rookie Artur “Zwyroo” Trojan stepping up from the academy team to fill the role. Support player Adrian “Trymbi” Trybus also joins the lineup, replacing Norman “Kaiser” Kaiser.

These changes follow a disappointing Winter Split for Heretics, where they finished 7th in the playoffs despite boasting a star-studded roster. The organization cited “leadership and communication issues” as a key factor in the decision.

Perkz’s benching has drawn significant attention and mixed reactions from fans and analysts. The decorated player remains a popular figure, and his absence raises questions about the team’s direction. Zwyroo, a promising newcomer, will have the opportunity to prove himself on the main stage.

Trymbi brings experience and a fresh perspective to the support position, aiming to improve team synergy and communication.

With a revamped roster, Heretics hopes to bounce back and achieve better results in the upcoming season. However, they face the challenge of building cohesion and proving their strategic decisions effective, all while navigating the scrutiny and high expectations that come with such significant changes.
