One week into its EMEA Stage 1 campaign, Team Heretics Team Heretics Europe Rank #7 koshmaras Martynas Namikas Wo0t Mert Alkan RieNs Enes Ecirli benjyfishy Benjamin David Fish Boo Ričardas Lukaševičius has parted ways with its Turkish Duelist and Sentinel player Berkcan "ComeBack" Şentürk and signed the Lithuanian Martynas "koshmaras" Namikas.

"Our playstyles and approaches to the game were completely opposite, and at this point, parting ways was the right decision for both sides," ComeBack said. "This process was never easy for me mentally, but while I was here, I did everything I could. Thank you to neilzinho and my teammates for everything they showed me, and to the Heretics fans for the support they gave. Good luck to everyone."

In a rather transparent showing, coaches neilzinho and weber released a video through the team, sharing that the decision was "for the best of the team moving forward" and not made in haste. While also stating that ComeBack's approach to the game differed from what has been instilled into the team, neilzinho also shared that there were other difficulties along the way, but that there was no bad blood between current members of the team and ComeBack.

"Another main issue is the communication," the head coach said, sharing that the player had been attending English-language lessons funded by the team. "We've done everything we possibly can, and unfortunately, it's got to a stage where we are not seeing enough progress, and it's starting to hinder the team. We had to make a decision to move forward."
