In addition to shared training sessions, the partnership will include joint activations such as community tournaments, watch parties, and collaborative content featuring players from both teams. The organizations will also launch co-branded merchandise, including jerseys and collectibles. Furthermore, both teams announced plans to host offline events in Spain and Germany in 2025.

Niklas Geiß, VCT and LEC Team Director for Team Heretics, shared his excitement about the partnership: “Entering the DACH region with a strong partner like CGN is an honour for us. Heretics and CGN are united by a vision to inspire the next generation of esports fans through performance, creativity, and authentic community engagement.”
