Team Heretics Acquire Project Zero Ahead of Six Invitational 2026

Team Heretics has acquired the Project Zero rosters ahead of the Six Invitational in February. The Spanish organization will now join Rainbow Six and will get right to it in Paris. Team Heretics return to Rainbow Six after a nearly five year absense from the game.

When Project Zero won the Europe and MENA LCQ, it marked a huge statement as they were a side competing in Tier 2 of Rainbow Six Esports. As a semi-pro roster, it was always likely someone would come knocking ahead of Paris, and Team Heretics are that team. The roster will remain as Team Heretics keeps the roster in place in the hopes they can make a shock challenge run through the Group Stage.

Team Heretics Acquire Project Zero

Project Zero had an incredible run in the LCQ, beating Pannuhuone, Twisted Minds, Virtus.pro, and then Twisted Minds again in the Grand Final. That run alone made them worthy winners of the LCQ, and while they’ll be massive outsiders in Paris, they will be a side for others to keep a tab on.

The Team Heretics roster will remain the same going forward: Harvey “Eupor” Hawkins, Daniel “Flexy” Esmail, Dawid “Gruby” Marciniak, Oscar “Oscr” Deacon, and Skeptic. The two most notable players are Gruby and Oscr. Oscr has been competing since 2017. He has competed at the Esports World Cup 2024, and the BLAST R6 Major Manchester when he was on Into the Breach. As for Gruby, he brings the most experience, having competed at multiple Six Invitationals and the Montreal and Manchester Major events. Having played for Fnatic and Team Secret in recent times, he is well-known in the Rainbow Six Siege esports scene.

In our Group A preview, we looked at what Project Zero would bring to the Six Invitational and why they might be one of the sides to watch. The Six Invitational will be a huge test for Team Heretics, with the rosters’ first chance to make a major step up. They have already locked in their spot for the Challengers Series 2026 in the new Siege Esports setup for 2026-2027. With only one side being knocked out in the Group Stage in Paris, Team Heretics has an amazing chance to make a statement in a group where they could cause an upset or two.

Team Heretics will get underway at the Six Invitational on the first day, facing off against BNK FEARX. You can see the full schedule below. It’s hard to say how many points they’ll need to acquire to make the top four, but an early 2-0 win would go a long way to helping secure their place in the playoffs, even if it’s a Lower Bracket run.
