Former VALORANT Champions MVP benched by Team Heretics
After a poor start to the 2023 VALORANT Champions Tour season, Team Heretics are making a key change and benching a big offseason pickup. Aleksander “zeek” Zygmunt, known for his run on Acend to win Champions in 2021, is now a substitute player for Heretics, the org announced today.
Not only did this change surprise lots of fans, but it leaves the team in a tough spot since the transfer window closed on March 26. Teams such as Cloud9 made moves before their regional matches, but other squads such as Karmine Corp in the EMEA region had players step down after poor performances, forcing coaches to play until the end of the season in September.
