As the excitement builds for the upcoming Masters of Madrid, Team Heretics is already looking ahead to the future of their VALORANT Champions Tour (VCT) journey. In a strategic move, the Spanish club has announced the extension of their agreement with Patryk “paTiTek” Fabrowski, who will continue as the team’s sixth player.
This decision is aimed at managing the dynamics surrounding Dominykas “MiniBoo” Lukaševičius and Mert “Wo0t” Alkan, showcasing the team’s proactive approach to roster management.
Solidifying paTiTek’s Role
Neil “neilzinho” Finlay, the team’s coach, expressed confidence in paTiTek’s capabilities, emphasizing his integral role within the team. Having stepped in as a substitute, paTiTek has seized the opportunity to showcase his skills in the VCT arena.
His reliability and performance have earned him a spot as the sixth player, providing valuable support to MiniBoo and the rest of the team.

Strategic Player Rotation
With MiniBoo still navigating through his secondary education, Team Heretics has devised a strategic plan to balance his academic commitments with his esports career.
PaTiTek will step in to fill MiniBoo’s shoes when necessary, particularly during exam periods. This thoughtful approach ensures that the team maintains stability and adapts seamlessly to any roster changes throughout the season.
Managing Wo0t’s Age Restrictions
In addition to addressing MiniBoo’s situation, paTiTek’s presence as the sixth player also serves another purpose for Team Heretics. The team is eagerly awaiting Wo0t’s 18th birthday, which marks his eligibility to compete in the VCT.
As Wo0t currently stands at 17, paTiTek’s inclusion allows the team to navigate through this age-related restriction seamlessly. With Alkan reaching the milestone on March 16, the team is poised for their debut in Madrid against Sentinels the day before.
Conclusion
As Team Heretics continues their journey in the VCT, the strategic utilization of paTiTek as the sixth player offers flexibility and stability to the team’s roster dynamics. By balancing academic priorities with esports commitments and navigating age-related restrictions, the team demonstrates adaptability and foresight in their pursuit of success.
