Melser was the smokes player for the team, often playing controller agents such as Omen and Astra. He leaves the team alongside an initiator player, adverso, who served as the team's Sova for much of the roster's time together. Leviatán has yet to officially announce players to replace the pair.

Earlier last month, Riot announced the ten teams for the Americas partnership league, in which Leviatán were accepted. The organization will be representing LATAM alongside KRÜ. Leviatán will participate in the kick-off clash in February, where all 30 partnership teams will debut their squads.
