Leviatán at the Valorant Champions Seoul

Leviatán defeated Team Heretics after victories on Icebox (15-13) and Lotus (13-10) and are one win against EDward Gaming away from featuring in this year's Valorant Champions grand final.

Icebox saw Leviatán taking a six-round lead against Los Niños after winning six of their first seven attacks. It was then that Team Heretics' players woke up as they managed to put the draw on the scoreboard by round fourteen.

Surprisingly, the Europeans took control of the series with four back-to-back successful attacks that saw them get a three-round lead. Eventually, Leviatán was put between a rock and a hard place when Los Niños put the map point on the scoreboard.

However, it wasn't going to be easy. Leviatán forced the overtime with two successful defenses and although Team Heretics won the first overtime round, the Americans took Icebox after three back-to-back rounds.

On Lotus, Team Heretics looked strong throughout the first half and managed to get an 8-4 lead before swapping sides. Unfortunately for them, Leviatán's reaction was quick, with the Americans winning their first seven attacks. Although Team Heretics cut Leviatán's lead to only one round, the Americans reacted just in time to cut short Team Heretic's hopes of forcing the overtime.

With this result, Leviatán moved to the Valorant Champions Seoul Upper Bracket Final, where they will play against EDward Gaming. Meanwhile, Team Heretics will play against DRX in the Lower Bracket Quarterfinals.
