Now sitting at 1-4, have their backs against the wall, languishing near the bottom of the LEC 2026 Summer standings after a 0-2 loss to . With little time left to turn things around, the Spanish organizationās chances are looking increasingly grim as the middle of the pack begins to pull away. Nevertheless, with four matches still to play, their fate is far from sealed, and one final push remains within reach.
In an exclusive interview, jungler sat down with Sheep Esports to discuss the teamās recent struggles while offering a positive outlook on the weeks ahead and hinting that there may still be more to this young squad than what fans have seen so far.
Team Heretics has struggled to find its footing thus far. What do you think is the main reason behind the teamās 1-4 record?
Kacper "Daglas" Dagiel: āI honestly donāt know why weāre just not playing well on stage. Itās not clear to me why weāre 1-4. From our scrims, I know we can do much better than this. Thereās always something not going right when weāre on stage somehow.
Do you feel any pressure from the teamās recent results, especially after finishing last in Spring?
Daglas: We were already last place in Spring, so in my mind, there isnāt really any pressure. Iām not sure how others feel, but when we are going into our officials, I donāt really care about what will stem from it as long as we put up a fight and do our best.
Does being back in the LEC and the need to prove yourself this split add any pressure or influence how you approach your games?
Daglas: I do have a bit of those thoughts in the back of my head. Performing well is always important because you will either look good or completely boosted and bad. Today, for example, from my perspective, it looked like I was just running it down. So, itās something I remind myself of a bit⦠Performance matters. Iāve had ups and downs across our series thus far. I donāt feel like Iāve been playing that bad overall this split though.
Does being on a struggling team change how you approach your work or adapt your playstyle?
Daglas: Itās all about work ethicāhow you approach scrims, training, etc. Itās a bit similar in all teams, but if you are the worst in the league, you have to put even more work than others, so itās about not letting that go.
The way we look in officials⦠Itās completely different from what weāre showing in scrims. Itās like weāre a completely different team on and off the stage. Weāre not that bad in scrims.
Do you feel like the roster struggles to get on the same page in-game, despite having strong individual players?
Daglas: Weāre not always on the same page in-game. We look bad because when itās time to make plays, everyone is just doing their own thing and a lot of weird stuff. Weāre not doing the same plays.
Do you think having a stronger voice in-game to lead the team and make decisions could help you get on the same page?
Daglas: Definitely. Like, if I had a stronger voice in-game, I feel like maybe it would be easier to put everyone on the same page.
How do you manage the mental pressure of being a pro player and deal with setbacks throughout your career?
Daglas: Mentally, Iām fine. Of course, it sucks losing, but as a player and human, I always look forward to learning from these experiences and bouncing back.
Have you been able to take any positives from your return in the LEC thus far?
Daglas: Well, weāve been able to take down Fnatic, who took down G2, right? Obviously, that shows that we can put up a fight against any team in the league. Thatās probably the main positive Iām seeing right now.
What will be the teamās mindset heading into the next two weeks?
Daglas: We will see. Weāll try our best in scrims so that we can find solutions for the issues that showed up in our matches thus far. Hopefully, weāll be ready against both SK and GX. I do believe that we can beat these teams. Obviously, the standings are not looking great right now, but all the teams are still fighting. Making playoffs would be nice, and itās still the goal for our team.ā
