Leviatán and Team Heretics meet on June 14 in a best-of-three elimination match at Valorant Masters London 2026. The loser’s tournament run ends immediately. The winner gets to keep breathing, at least for another round.

Both squads arrived here the same way: getting swept. Leviatán fell 0-2 to Paper Rex on June 12, while Team Heretics suffered an identical fate against Team Vitality the same day. Two teams that entered the upper bracket with legitimate ambitions now find themselves in the lower bracket’s first round, where the margin for error is exactly zero.

How both teams ended up here

Leviatán, representing the Americas region, picked up wins against Global Esports and NRG during the Swiss stage before falling 0-2 to Paper Rex in the upper bracket quarterfinals.

Team Heretics came into Masters London off the back of a strong EMEA regional run. But Team Vitality, another EMEA squad, swept them 0-2 in the upper bracket quarterfinals on June 12.
