Team Heretics vs Fnatic - Which team will win this match in Valorant Champions 2024?


Predictions

Team Heretics are the new favorites for many in this 2024 season. This roster which includes mostly rookies has managed to take down stronger teams both at regional and international events. Besides Masters Madrid, Team Heretics have managed to place themselves in a minimum top-three finish at every event. Valorant Champions 2024 could be their chance to finally get their hands on a trophy.

Meanwhile, Fnatic has been quite inconsistent in the 2024 season. While the regional performances have remained consistently strong for Fnatic, their international showing has been quite underwhelming. However, the team was able to resurrect their top-tier form with the new addition, Hiro, and won Stage 2 with ease. At Valorant Champions 2024, Fnatic has managed to secure a record of two wins and one loss so far.

This match of Team Heretics vs Fnatic favors the former as their performance has been slightly better throughout this season. However, this new iteration of Fnatic can certainly be dangerous to go up against.

These two teams have faced each other a total of three times in the 2024 season. Two of these encounters have been won by Team Heretics. However, the most recent win was secured by Fnatic in the Grand Final of EMEA Stage 1 where they won the Bo5 (Best-of-five) series by 3-2.
