In a highly anticipated showdown, Leviatán proved their mettle with a commanding 2-0 sweep over G2 Esports, sending the latter into the Lower Bracket. Leviatán’s performance in this series not only highlighted their tactical prowess but also solidified their position as strong contenders for the championship.

Map 1: Icebox – The first map, Icebox, was a nail-biter from start to finish. Leviatán’s strategic execution and composure under pressure allowed them to edge out a 16-14 victory. G2 Esports fought valiantly, pushing the game to its limits, but Leviatán’s well-coordinated plays and crucial round wins made the difference. The close nature of the match kept fans on the edge of their seats, with both teams showcasing top-tier gameplay.

Map 2: Abyss – Leviatán carried the momentum from their Icebox win into the second map, Abyss. Here, they delivered a dominant performance, securing a decisive 13-5 victory.

Despite their loss, G2 Esports displayed moments of brilliance, reminding everyone why they are considered one of the top teams in the league. However, as their head coach, Josh Lee, pointed out, the team fell short of their own expectations. “We were confident going into Icebox, but the nerves and a few missteps in execution cost us.
