Team Heretics Defeat Gen.G to Reach the Valorant EWC 2025 Final
On July 12, 2025, at the Esports World Cup (EWC) Valorant tournament in Riyadh, the semifinals delivered one of the most incredible matches worthy of a grand final: Gen.G vs Team Heretics. Both teams reached this stage after finishing second in their groups, each with one loss. Gen.G were considered the favorites going in, but Team Heretics showed real grit in a tense match, taking the series 2-1.
Map 1: Ascent — This was Team Heretics ’ map pick. Demonstrating excellent preparation on their choice, they claimed the map convincingly with a 13-7 score.
Map 2: Haven — Gen.G ’s pick. Here, the momentum swung in Gen.G’s favor. Despite losing both pistol rounds, they played brilliantly, locking down their defensive side and closing out the map on attack.
Map 3: Lotus (Decider) — The third map was an incredible spectacle full of twists. Neither team could pull away by more than two rounds. The first half ended tied at 6-6, and many were ready to write off Team Heretics, predicting victory for the Korean squad. But the second half delivered clutch rounds, pivotal moments, and multi-kill plays from both sides. Ultimately, in overtime, Team Heretics managed to edge out Gen.G with a 16-14 win.
Player Highlights
- RieNs (Team Heretics) — 57 kills, 152 ADR, and an incredible 44% headshot rate. RieNs was one of the key players in this match for his team.
- Wo0t (Team Heretics) — Delivered arguably the match of his life with 58 kills. He was always in the right place at the right time, with perfect timings and flanks that secured many rounds for TH.
With this win, Team Heretics become the second finalists at EWC Valorant 2025. They’ll battle Fnatic—who earlier defeated Paper Rex 2-1—for the championship title. Gen.G will face Paper Rex in the fight for third place.
