The former legendary trio of G2 Esports will once again play together in the LEC, this time in the jersey of Team Heretics.
According to a report from the SheepEsports portal, Luka "Perkz" Perković and Martin "Wunder" Nordahl have reached verbal agreements with the Spanish organization and now all that remains is for the new players to be officially introduced.
Team Heretics bought Misfits' slot in the LEC league last year, and in their debut season after a bad start they managed to finish fourth in the summer split, which was not enough to be in a position to qualify for the 2023 World Championship.
The most famous name of the team was the veteran Marcin "Jankos" Jankowski who previously spent five years playing for G2 Esports with whom he won the LoL European Championship title five times.
He was accompanied this year by Shunsuke "Evi" Murase on top and Vicent "Vetheo" Berrie in mid lane, and they will be replaced in 2024 by Jankos' former teammates.
We don't need to talk too much about Perks, he is one of the two most decorated players in Europe who has a total of eight LEC titles behind him. Perkz has had a big dip in form in 2023 and hasn't found his way in the Vitality squad and this will be an ideal opportunity for him to show that he can still compete at the highest level.
Wunder has skipped most of the competition this year, having been replaced in the Fnatic squad following the team's dismal start to the winter season where they finished second to last in the table with just two wins in nine matches. He made a brief appearance on the team during the 2023 LEC season finale when he played because Oscar "Oscarinina" Munoz Jimenez was injured, and Wunder did more than well for someone who hadn't competed in months.
Wunder and Jankos came to G2 at the end of 2017 at the same time and since then played together with Perkz until 2021 when Perkz left for Cloud9. Together they were part of the greatest success of a European team at the world championships when they played in the grand final in 2019 in which they were outplayed by FunPlus Phoenix, that year they also won MSI 2019, which is also the first and only international title for Europe, while a year earlier reached the semi-finals after a historic win against Royal Never Give Up.
According to rumors with Perks, support Norman "Kaiser" Kaiser should arrive from Vitality, while Victor "Flakked" Lirol Tortos should remain in the ADC position.
