Team Heretics is a Spanish esports organization founded on 24 August 2016 and based in Madrid, Spain. The club fields professional teams across multiple titles, including Brawl Stars, League of Legends, Marvel Rivals, Rainbow Six Siege and Valorant.

History

Team Heretics was founded in 2016 in Madrid by Antonio Catena, Arnau Vidal and Jorge "Goorgo" Orejudo as an organization focused on competitive gaming and digital entertainment. Over the following years the club developed a strong Spanish-speaking fanbase and expanded into several international esports competitions.[3]

In July 2022, Team Heretics acquired a franchise slot in the League of Legends European Championship (LEC), replacing Misfits Gaming and marking a milestone in their expansion into top-tier European esports.[4]

In 2025, the organization’s Valorant roster won its first major international title by securing the Esports World Cup in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, defeating Fnatic 3–2 in a reverse sweep in the grand final.[5]

Beyond competitive results, Team Heretics has expanded through strategic business partnerships. In 2023 the club announced a collaboration with Red Bull, featuring joint activations, branded apparel and social media content.[6]

In 2025, the organization revealed a strategic partnership with CGN Esports focused on Valorant, expanding its footprint across the DACH region and collaborating on shared training initiatives and offline events in Spain and Germany.[7]
