has announced that they will allow Nathan "nataNk"
Bocqueho to explore options as a restricted free agent, benching him from their active roster. The benching comes just under three months after his signing was announced.
The announcement comes after a disappointing showing at Americas Kickoff, which saw the team eliminated after just three games played, resulting in a 5th-6th finish. Compared to 2024, which saw LEVIATÁN finish third in Stage 1, reach Masters Shanghai, lift Stage 2, and then finish third at Champions 2024, 2025 got off to a disappointing start.

, who after disappointing in 2024, released their entire roster. Still, he was a strong spot in the EMEA Ascension 2023-winning core that stuck together entering the year. While he shined in Stage 2, ranking seventh in ACS and top-15 in rating, his efforts were not enough to help the team reach playoffs. Disappointing results saw the organization win just three games in the year, failing to reach the playoffs of either stage in league play.
With Americas Stage 1 a few weeks away and nataNk no longer occupying his spot as an import, LEVIATÁN will be able to dig through the international pool to sign a replacement.
