Both teams had big achievements this competitive season. T1 won the Masters Bangkok tournament. Team Heretics won the VALORANT Esports World Cup 2025. Sure, they also had disappointing periods, but T1 and TH enter the Champions 2025 as big favorites.

Sept. 18 features the final winners matches of the Group Stage: two more teams advance to the Playoffs with no losses in their tournament score. T1 and Team Heretics play in Group D.

T1 won their starting match versus Dragon Ranger Gaming. That wasn’t a battle to showcase the current power of the Masters Bangkok winners. The community looks forward to a proper challenge for the Korean roster.

Team Heretics faced G2 Esports, and their 2:0 win is quite meaningful. The G2 players were in the grand final in Bangkok, and they finished 4th at the Masters Toronto 2025 event. TH proved their ambition to lift the trophy at VALORANT Champions 2025 in Paris!

Battle of VALORANT Champions

It’s always exciting to witness esports matches of strong teams. Heretics and T1 certainly belong to this category!

Heretics

Team Heretics became the Champions at the VALORANT Esports World Cup 2025 — after defeating Fnatic in the grand final. That was a somewhat unexpected success, as Heretics were only 11th–12th at the Master Toronto event.

Looking slightly back into the past, we can see Team Heretics reaching the grand final at VALORANT Champions 2024. It feels like the performance of this roster is quite a rollercoaster of emotions.

T1

The T1 players are the Champions of VALORANT Masters Bangkok 2025. It’s the highest placement for the organization in this esports title.

The only time T1 competed in this world championship format was VALORANT Champions 2023. The team finished 9th–12th back then.

The current roster of VALORANT T1 was formed at the end of 2024. These players also give their fans cold showers now and again. T1 couldn’t qualify for the Toronto Master event, which was a shock after such a wonderful win.
