In a detailed video announcement, the Spanish organization revealed the adjustments to their line-up for the upcoming Spring Season.

The team’s moves include signing Adrian ��Trymbi�� Trybus as the new support, replacing Norman ��Kaiser�� Kaiser, and promoting Artur ��Zwyroo�� Trojan from the academy team to take the place of the veteran mid laner Luka ��Perkz�� Perkovi?.

The decision to overhaul the roster stems from reported leadership and communication issues within the team, although previous speculation hinted at tensions between players and Heretics management.

Fans expressed dissatisfaction with the changes and criticized the organization’s reasoning behind them.

Notably, former pro League of Legends player and current streamer Marc Robert ��Caedrel�� Lamont questioned the management’s explanation, particularly regarding the replacement of Perkz with an academy player and the assertion of communication improvement.

Heretics’ leadership, including Chief Gaming Officer Arnau Vidal and League of Legends GM Alvar ��Araneae�� Mart��n Ale?ar, attempted to justify the moves in the video announcement.

However, fans found the explanations peculiar and raised doubts about the foresight and decision-making process.

Despite the backlash, Heretics remains determined to improve their performance, aiming for international play at the Mid-Season Invitational and seeking to surpass their previous seventh-place finish in the Winter Split.

Following a disappointing Winter Split, Heretics is embarking on a new chapter with significant roster changes.

The coaching staff announced Perkz’s benching in favor of Zwyroo, citing a lack of improvement in team dynamics during scrims.

Additionally, Trymbi joins the team as the new support, bringing leadership and experience from his tenure with Rogue and Fnatic.

Zwyroo faces high expectations as he steps into Perkz’s shoes, tasked with not only filling a legendary player’s role but also elevating the team’s performance.

Despite his relative inexperience at the LEC level, Zwyroo is already making strides in motivating his teammates during practice sessions, according to coach Araneae.

With a blend of veteran presence and fresh talent, Heretics aims to revitalize their LEC campaign and regain momentum for the upcoming Spring Split.

Only time will tell if these changes will lead to the desired improvements and a resurgence for the Spanish organization on the competitive stage.

The franchise made the announcement on their official Twitter page using individual posts, stating that Turkish and German internationals will not be part of the 2023 roster. They appreciated Armut for dominating the top lane and leading them to title wins.

“Farewell, @armutlol.
Since 2020 ?rfan has helped take us to Worlds, MSI, and win the LEC twice through his dominant Top Lane play,” the franchise read.

“Thank you for your incredible dedication and for always keeping us entertained!”

The franchise also bade farewell to Kaiser, who has been in charge of their bot lane. They thanked him for his three years of unmatchable service to the franchise.

“Farewell, @KaiserLoL.
Norman has supported us since 2019 across multiple strong LEC Playoffs, MSI and Worlds runs and has grown to become one of the strongest supports in Europe,” the announcement read.

“Thank you for your underpinning the MAD Lions Bot Lane for the past 3 years.”

Both players are now unrestricted free agents for the first time since making their league debut. In their time with MAD Lions, they both succeeded in becoming one of the players in the league in their various positions.

In their time with MAD Lions, Armut and Kaiser have recorded two LEC Championship titles. They also performed exceedingly at the 2021 Mid-Season Invitational and made two appearances at the World Championship in 2021 and more recently, 2022. The roster was known as one of the most respected rosters in the league with their aggressive playing style and almost cynical on-stage personalities.

While they finished in third place at the 2021 Mid-Season Invitational, they failed to qualify for the 2022 tournament. They may have attained good success at the MSI, however, they have been an unfortunate bunch when it comes to the World Championship.

They last two appearances at the Worlds has been marred by the franchise featuring in the play-in stage of the tournament and failing to qualify for the group stage in both years. They hold the record as the only major region team to

The biggest disappointments of Armut and Kaiser��s time with MAD, however, happened during the most important events of their career so far. At the last two Worlds that they attended with MAD, they were thrown into the play-in stage of the tournament. And in both years, the team made history by failing to qualify for the group stage. They are the only major region team to fall in the play-in stage twice.

As a result, MAD Lions has gotten busy this offseason, with multiple reports linking the team to players like former X7 Esports top laner Chasy and former Team Vitality and homecoming AD carry, Carzzy. The org is also reportedly holding on to some important members, like superstar jungler Elyoya.

Armut, on the other hand, could be exploring a trip across the Atlantic for his next career adventure. Reports suggest that the energetic top laner is headed to North America to sign with Team Dignitas for the 2023 LCS Spring Split. Kaiser is reportedly headed to Vitality as the organization tries to regain trust within the LEC community after failing to meet expectations as the region��s newest ��superteam�� last year.

The global free agency period is now open, so expect more League roster news to stream in as the weeks fly by toward the new year.
