BENJYFISHY Opens Up on Heretics' 2026 Struggles and VCT Shake-Up

Ever wondered what goes through a pro Valorant player's mind after a rough season? Benjy 'BENJYFISHY' Fish just gave us a peek, and it's equal parts honest and hype for what's next.

The Team Heretics star opened up about the team's tough 2026 season, and he didn't sugarcoat it. It's been a grind, but he's already looking ahead to the new VCT changes that will put a spotlight on other teams. That's a big shift for the scene, and BENJYFISHY seems genuinely excited about it.

So what do these changes mean for you as a fan? For starters, more teams getting exposure means more matchups to watch, more storylines to follow, and honestly, a fresher competitive landscape. It's not just about the usual suspects anymore.

But it's not all about the future. BENJYFISHY also touched on the off-season grind—because even when the official matches stop, the work doesn't. Pros use this time to sharpen their skills, review VODs, and come back stronger. If you've ever wondered why some players seem to level up between seasons, this is why.

For Heretics, the 2026 season was a learning experience. While BENJYFISHY didn't dive into specifics, his mindset is clear: take the hits, learn from them, and come back hungrier. That's the kind of attitude that builds champions.

And with VCT changes on the horizon, the entire Valorant esports ecosystem could be in for a shake-up. More teams in the spotlight means more opportunities for underdogs to shine, and that's something every fan can get behind.

So, what do you think? Are you excited to see new teams get their moment in the VCT? And will you be following BENJYFISHY and Heretics as they grind through the off-season? Let us know!
