Look Sports Media – Team Heretics’ ambitious bid for a League of Legends World Championship berth has come to a crashing halt. Their 3-1 defeat against Team Vitality in the LEC Summer Split 2025 Playoffs marks the end of their season, leaving them to watch the Worlds race from the sidelines. While the loss stings, it wasn’t without its highlights, most notably Flakked’s breathtaking pentakill in Game 1.
Despite Flakked’s spectacular Aphelios performance, which momentarily swung the momentum in Heretics’ favor, Vitality ultimately proved too strong. They dominated the remaining games, showcasing a level of synergy and strategic depth that Heretics couldn’t match. The final game highlighted this disparity, with Vitality’s Naak Nako on Dr. Mundo completely neutralizing Carlsen’s Jax, a key component of Heretics’ strategy. Fleshy’s masterful Pyke performance further solidified Vitality’s control.
The victory propels Vitality into a clash against the loser of G2 Esports and Karmine Corp, setting the stage for a potentially explosive lower bracket showdown. Meanwhile, Heretics join Natus Vincere and SK Gaming in an early off-season, a particularly disappointing outcome for jungler Thayger after such a short playoff run.

The LEC’s Worlds qualification picture remains fiercely contested. G2 Esports, Movistar KOI, Karmine Corp, and Fnatic have consistently dominated throughout the year, but only three will secure their place at Worlds 2025, based solely on Summer Split performance. The upcoming matches promise high stakes and unpredictable outcomes, with Vitality emerging as a potential dark horse, capable of upsetting the established order. Their recent form and evident confidence, as revealed through voice comms, suggest they’re a force to be reckoned with. The question remains: can they defy the odds and snatch a Worlds spot?
