Prediction
Leviatán is, beyond doubt, the team to beat in VCT Americas right now. They have the perfect blend of mechanical and strategic prowess that gives them an edge irrespective of the opponent they are facing. aspas alone is a force to be reckoned with, and on days he's in top form, the opponent already has a lower chance of winning.
