The Leviatán vs FURIA matchup allows these squads to compete with each other for the first time
Both of these teams are coming from 2-0 wins on their first series at VCT Americas. Leviatán are looking particularly scary after the show of domination against NRG Esports. On the other hand, FURIA have already beaten a Chilean opponent in a swift series. Leviatán are going into this matchup as the favorites, and it will undoubtedly be a challenging series for the Brazilian side. Here’s our official prediction alongside the previews of the teams.

Leviatán
The Chilean super team amazed North American crowds after a surprising win against NRG Esports. On the second map especially, Leviatán showed us how disciplined, strategic and aggressive they are as Victor and his squad couldn’t find any answer and accepted their fate. The roster also enjoyed a pretty good run at LOCK//IN earlier this year, and they are looking stronger than ever!

FURIA
FURIA are still living in the shadow of LOUD as they are yet to provide a consistent performance on big-shot events like this one. However, they started pretty well with a 2-0 win against KRÜ Esports, where Khalil and mwzera didn’t allow the Chileans to get to Haven. Still, Leviatán is going to be a far stronger opponent for the Brazilians going into the second week of VCT Americas.
