Team Heretics Team Heretics Europe Rank #22 MiniBoo Dominykas Lukaševičius Wo0t Mert Alkan RieNs Enes Ecirli benjyfishy Benjy David Fish Boo Ričardas Lukaševičius have announced the departure of Auni "AvovA" Chahade nearly a month after their most recent signings.

The Controller player was onboarded by the organization last year in preparation for the 2023 VCT alongside an older iteration of the roster.

The team's first obstacle at São Paulo's LOCK//IN took the form of Evil Geniuses Evil Geniuses North America Rank #29 Derrek Derrek Ha NaturE Nicholas Garrison supamen Phat Le Apoth Vincent Le jawgemo Alexander Mor , who quickly sent Heretics home in two maps to start off their year.

Looking to turn around their luck, AvovA and the rest of the team put up a fight in the EMEA League, but were unable to advance out of the regular season after their only wins against Karmine Corp Karmine Corp Europe Rank #8 MAGNUM Martin Penkov tomaszy Tomás Machado N4RRATE Marshall Massey marteen Martin Pátek sh1n Ryad Ensaad and Giants Gaming Giants Gaming Inactive Redgar Igor Vlasov Fit1nho Adolfo Gallego nukkye Žygimantas Chmieliauskas hoody Aaro Peltokangas Cloud Kirill Nehozhin saw them take home an eighth-place finish.

The team's poor performance within the EMEA League saw them miss out on a chance at Masters: Tokyo as they were relegated to the EMEA LCQ. Heretics – who at that point had already made changes to their roster – had only one more chance at qualifying for Champions to make up for their disastrous year.

Unfortunately, the roster was only able to secure one map against KOI KOI Europe Rank #166 kamo Kamil Frąckowiak ShadoW Tobias Flodström grubinho Grzegorz Ryczko starxo Patryk Kopczynski sheydos Bogdan Naumov before being eliminated from the tournament and the rest of the 2023 season.

AvovA's departure follows a series of roster changes from the organization in preparation for 2024's VCT; Ričardas "Boo" Lukaševičius and Benjy "benjyfishy" David Fish – whose aid was enlisted throughout the EMEA LCQ – remain the two sole survivors of the 2023 roster. Dominykas "MiniBoo" Lukaševičius, Enes "RieNs" Ecirli and Mert "Wo0t" Alkan were brought on by the organization as younger talent from varying Tier 2 rosters.
