Leviatán Expands Its Esports Domain: A Foray into Dota 2 with a Stellar International Lineup

In an exhilarating development that has sent ripples across the esports landscape, Argentine powerhouse Leviatán, renowned for its dominant presence in Valorant, has embarked on a strategic expansion into the Dota 2 arena.

This strategic move not only diversifies Leviatán’s competitive portfolio but also signals its ambition to establish a formidable presence across the major titles in esports, including Valorant, League of Legends, Counter-Strike 2, and now, Dota 2.

The Tease and the Big Reveal

The buzz began on 17th March when Leviatán set the community abuzz with a cryptic teaser video, igniting speculation and anticipation among fans and analysts alike. The video, showcasing an individual engrossed in launching Dota 2, ended with the date “18/03/2024”, setting the stage for the big reveal. True to their word, on the following day, Leviatán unveiled an international roster that is poised to compete under the South American banner, aligning this announcement with the DreamLeague Season 22 Open Qualifiers #2.

A Roster Brimming with Talent and Experience

Leviatán’s foray into Dota 2 isn’t just about expanding its reach; it’s about making a statement. The roster is a blend of experience, skill, and international flair:

• Samuel “Sammyboy” Anderson (USA): A prominent figure in the North American Dota 2 scene, Sammyboy’s role as the team’s carry is pivotal, bringing with him a wealth of experience from his tenure with teams like Wildcard Gaming.
  
  
• Damien “kpii” Chok (Australia): As the offlaner, kpii’s illustrious career with teams such as Newbee and Mineski, and his near-victory at The International 2017, brings a strategic depth and veteran insight to the squad.
  
  
• Tommy “Taiga” Le (Norway): The support role is in capable hands with Taiga, whose storied career with powerhouses like OG and Alliance brings a level of expertise and game knowledge that is hard to match.
  
  
• Steven “StingeR” Vargas (Peru): Despite recent controversies, StingeR’s experience at multiple TIs as a support player is invaluable, providing the team with a solid foundation and a wealth of high-level competitive experience.

While the team is yet to announce its mid-laner, Leviatán’s debut in the DreamLeague Season 23 Open Qualifiers, with Jean Pierre “Chris Luck” Salazar stepping in as a stand-in mid-laner, showcased the team’s potential despite an early exit.

With their eyes now set on the PGL Wallachia Season 1 qualifiers, Leviatán is not just participating; they’re aiming to make an impact.

Leviatán’s entry into Dota 2 is not merely an expansion; it’s a bold statement of intent. With a roster that combines seasoned veterans and promising talent, the Argentine organization is poised to shake up the competitive landscape, promising an exciting chapter in the ever-evolving saga of esports.
