This is El Classico for the LATAM viewers of Valorant as KRU faces off against the in-form Leviatan. Leviatan’s last match was unfortunate as they lost a 1v3 clutch to 100T. However, even though they lost, they did really well and almost got a win over the team. While 100T faces off against the final boss LOUD, Leviatan will face off against their old rivals, KRU Esports. This will be a fun match to watch regardless of the outcome as former teammates Keznit and Mazino collide. Let us break it down.
Can KRU win their First Match in Valorant Americas against Leviatan?
We do not think KRU is making it to the playoffs since they have only 3 more matches left to play. However, in Leviatan’s case, they need to win this match if they stand a chance to make playoffs since their next two matches are against C9 and LOUD, who are the top two teams in the league currently.
Both teams have faced each other 7 times in Valorant and it has been KRU who has gotten the upper hand a total of 4 times. However, if recent history were to be the decider, Leviatan have won the last two matches between them. That being said, let us look at both of the teams and their rosters.
KRU Esports
- Keznitdeus
- Daveeys
- Melser
- Klaus
- NagZet
Leviatan
- kiNgg
- Mazino
- Tacolilla
- Shyy
- nzr
This will be a really fun match to watch as both teams have unpredictable playstyles. On the serious side of things, it is a must-win for both but for different reasons. KRU need to save face by winning their first match while Leviatan need to win to compensate for the two tough games ahead if they stand a chance to make playoffs. We predict Leviatan winning the game 2-1 since they have faced tough teams and have established themselves as a challenge to everyone in the tournament.
