Spanish esports organisation Team Heretics has announced it has acquired the Rainbow Six roster Project Zero ahead of the Six Invitational.

The European roster will represent the organisation at Rainbow Six Siege’s season-ending event in Paris, taking place from February 2nd to 15th.

Unveiled on social media, the acquisition marks Team Heretics’ return to Rainbow Six esports following a six-year absence. In November 2020, the organisation parted ways with its all-Spanish roster.

The Project Zero roster has sought representation from an organisation since October 2025. The team successfully navigated its way to the Six Invitational after winning the Europe and MENA last-chance qualifier.

En route to victory, the team defeated Twisted Minds and Virtus.pro to cement its place as one of the region’s hottest prospects.

Prior to the last-chance qualifier, the team scored a second-place finish in the T2 Grand Finals, earning its place in the LCQ and the Challenger Series, the second tier of Rainbow Six esports.

Rainbow Six becomes the latest esports title that Team Heretics fields a roster in. In addition to the first-person shooter, the organisation competes in League of Legends, VALORANT, and Call of Duty.

Outside of its esports rosters, the organisation has also expanded its partnership portfolio. In recent months, it has joined forces with the likes of Fulllife and Theta Network.

ESI Ranking System
We’ve created a ranking system to help you quickly know how good each gambling platform is. As gamblers ourselves, we know which factors matter most to you, so we follow a best-in-class methodology to test each one with no stone unturned. Once done, we then rank each platform based on the following tiers:
  • A-Tier High-quality sites that deliver a top experience every time. They boast strong performance, nice features, and reliable support, but are just shy of perfection.
  • B-Tier Solid platforms that are worth a spin. They’re safe, fun, and functional, but may be lacking advanced features or have minor drawbacks.
  • S-Tier Reserved for elite operators only. These go well beyond the norm with lucrative bonuses, rewarding promotions, lightning-fast payouts, and a flawless experience overall.
