As LEVIATÁN enters an era with the third iteration of its global roster, they've picked Desmo, who has experience from across the globe, to lead the squad.

Since moving on from a roster centered around South American players in 2023, the organization moved from a mix of top South American and North American talent in 2024 to an all-out North American team, except in-game leader kiNgg , which failed to live up to expectations. LEVIATÁN finished with a 1-4 record in Americas Stage 1 with players like Demon1 and Rossy at the helm. After the stage, they parted ways with both, moving swiftly to pick up former M80 M80 Inactive players Sato and Okeanos .

With three players based in North America and two from South America, LEVIATÁN will be led by Desmo, who brings over four years of coaching experience in Valorant but will be in his first head coaching role.
