LEVIATÁN LEVIATÁN Latin America South Rank #1 Demon1 Max Mazanov tex Ian Botsch kiNgg Francisco Aravena C0M Corbin Lee nataNk Nathan Bocqueho has added world champion Max "Demon1" Mazanov to their roster. On this new roster, he will reunite with his Champions winning teammate C0M .
After winning Champions in 2023 with Evil Geniuses Evil Geniuses North America Rank #20 Derrek Derrek Ha NaturE Nicholas Garrison supamen Phat Le , Demon1 and his teammate Ethan would leave the organization to join NRG Esports NRG Esports North America Rank #4 FiNESSE Pujan Mehta s0m Sam Oh Verno Andrew Maust mada Adam Pampuch Ethan Ethan Arnold for 2024. Along with three of the old OpTic Gaming OpTic Gaming Inactive members, expectations were set extremely high for the roster, with many proclaiming that it was a North American super-team. However, the year would not play out so favorably for them, as they fell far below what was expected of them. In Kickoff, they were eliminated in the semi-finals by Sentinels Sentinels North America Rank #2 N4RRATE Marshall Massey bang Sean Bezerra Zellsis Jordan Montemurro zekken Zachary Patrone johnqt Mohamed Amine Ouarid , and failed to qualify for Masters Madrid. In Stage 1, they would miss playoffs with a 3-3 record, being blown out and embarrassed in their losses. Their lack of an experienced IGL was proving a major issue and one they would need to solve going into Stage 2. As a result, Demon1 was benched in order to make room for FiNESSE to take the reins of the roster and attempt to salvage NRG's year. Demon1 would remain on the bench for the rest of the season until he was released shortly after the transfer window opened.
Similarly to NRG, Leviatán was also touted as somewhat of an international super-team, also having two world champions in aspas and C0M, as well as strong existing pieces from their previous roster. Also mirroring NRG, they would miss Masters Madrid when they too were eliminated by Sentinels in the group stage of Kickoff. However, unlike NRG, Leviatán were able to learn from their losses and become a top team in Americas. Across stages one and two, they only lost one regular season match to Cloud9 Cloud9 North America Rank #7 Xeppaa Erick Bach v1c Victor Truong mitch Mitch Semago moose Kaleb Jayne OXY Francis Hoang , and qualified to both Masters Shanghai and Champions. They also were crowned the stage two champions after they took down G2 Esports G2 Esports North America Rank #3 jawgemo Alexander Mor trent Trent Cairns valyn Jacob Batio JonahP Jonah Pulice leaf Nathan Orf in the grand finals. Leviatán had a disappointing exit in the Swiss Stage of Shanghai, but would make a run at Champions to finish in third place. Despite ending the year with success, the roster would not stay together, with Mazino parting with the organization.
With Demon1 joining the team, the South American organization now sports a predominantly North American roster.
