On January 20, 2025, at 19:45 GMT+2, a match will take place between Team Heretics and Fnatic as part of the group stage of LEC Winter 2025 in a best-of-1 format. We have reviewed the current rosters of the teams and prepared a prediction for the outcome of the match.

Current Team Form

Team Heretics

Team Heretics completely revamped their roster before the start of the season, leaving only their ADC. However, the team's start in the group stage of LEC Winter 2025 turned out to be disastrous. In the match against Rogue, they managed to make only 3 kills, indicating significant issues in their play. So far, it's hard to say whether the reason is a weak roster or a lack of synergy and gameplay form. The team looks weak and thus far does not meet expectations.

Fnatic

Fnatic also made changes to their lineup, particularly on the bot lane. The return of the legendary ADC Upset and the arrival of support Mikyx from G2 have generated many positive expectations. However, the team unexpectedly suffered a defeat in the first match against KOI and lost without chances. Despite this, Fnatic remains the favorites in the match against Team Heretics, having a more experienced roster and the potential to quickly rectify mistakes.

Match Prediction

In the match between Team Heretics and Fnatic, the latter holds a clear advantage. Although Fnatic failed to perform in the first match, their roster looks significantly stronger and more cohesive. Team Heretics, on the contrary, shows weak gameplay and has issues with team interaction.

It is expected that Fnatic will secure a victory in this match, likely with an advantage in all lanes. However, for Heretics, this is an opportunity to test their strength against a strong opponent and draw conclusions for future matches.

Prediction: Fnatic Victory

LEC Winter 2025 is held in the format of a regular season and playoffs involving 10 teams. All teams will play in two stages to determine the strongest participant. The tournament winner will receive a spot at First Stand 2025 and €40,000. You can find all the tournament information via this link.
