The Florida Mutineers and Team Heretics partnership has unveiled the new Miami Heretics Call of Duty League brand, officially retiring the Florida Mutineers. The announcement confirms the speculation surrounding the rebrand and solidifies the relationship between the two organizations.
The Miami Heretics roster has also been revealed, featuring Javier “Vikul” Milagro as the sole player from the previous season. Joining him are three other Spanish players who previously represented Heretics in 2019: Alejandro “Lucky” López, Adrian “MettalZ” Serrano, and Juan “JurNii” Antonio González Muñoz. Eric “EriKBooM” Ferrer, Noel Garberi, and Jorge “MethodZ” Bancells will also join the squad, with the roles of EriKBooM yet to be determined.
The Florida Mutineers had a challenging run in the CDL, with limited success since its inception. Despite winning three Home Series events in the first season, the team struggled to achieve significant results. In the 2023 season, they finished near the bottom of the standings and missed out on the CDL Championship for the second consecutive year.
The Misfits Gaming Group owns the Florida Mutineers and has previously collaborated with Heretics. In 2022, Heretics acquired the League of Legends LEC slot owned by Misfits. This new partnership between the two organizations marks a joint effort in the formation of the Miami Heretics.
