Leviatán

The last time we saw the Chileans was in LOCK//IN, where Leviatán reached up to Omega – Semifinals after defeating ZETA DIVISION and Team Vitality with 2-0 score lines. Players like Mazino and Shyy gave us some incredible showcasing of skills, and it’s evident that they are one of the strongest South American teams going into this event.
