The final day of the VALORANT Champions<\/a> group stage delivered thrilling matches, as Leviat\u00e1n and EDward Gaming secured their spots in the playoffs, while Team Vitality and Paper Rex saw their seasons come to an end.<\/p>\n

Leviat\u00e1n faced off against Team Vitality in the Group C decider match, with both teams having suffered 2-1 losses to Trace Esports and secured 2-0 wins over Talon Esports.<\/p>\n

Leviat\u00e1n, aiming for their first international VALORANT<\/a> tournament playoff berth since Champions 2022, showed determination from the start.<\/p>\n

Their pick of Icebox was a closely contested battle, with Leviat\u00e1n edging out a 7-5 lead at the half.<\/p>\n

Vitality’s efforts, led by standout performances from Saif “Sayf” Jibraeel and Nikita “trexx” Cherednichenko, brought them to a 12-10 lead.<\/p>\n

However, Leviat\u00e1n, driven by Francisco “kiNgg” Alberto Aravena and Erick “aspas” Santos, rallied to take the map 14\u201312 in overtime.<\/p>\n

kiNgg led the scoreboard with 22 kills and a 229 average combat score (ACS), while trexx delivered 22 kills and 225 ACS for Vitality.<\/p>\n

Sunset was a different story, with Leviat\u00e1n dominating from the start.<\/p>\n

A 10-2 first half, bolstered by strong defensive setups and individual plays from Corbin “C0M” Daniel Lee and aspas, set the tone.<\/p>\n

Vitality managed to win the second pistol round, but Leviat\u00e1n quickly closed out the map 13-4, securing a 2-0 series victory.<\/p>\n

Roberto “Mazino” Francisco Rivas Bugue\u00f1o topped the ratings on Sunset with a 1.45 rating, 169 ADR, and 15 kills, while C0M followed closely with a 1.43 rating and 16 kills.<\/p>\n

When asked about their upcoming playoff opponent, C0M confidently stated, “Give us anyone. We’ll beat them.”<\/p>\n

Leviat\u00e1n will look to back up this bold claim when the playoffs begin on August 14 and they clash with G2 Esports.<\/p>\n
