Abrahams messed around and didn't find out, they survived with Graves and Apollo in the starting lineup
Lowkey W earned their spot in the finals by taking down Leviathan in the Challenger match at #26 of Deadlock Night Shift EU. vraic absolutely dragged the series over the line on
Lash with an absurd 8/1/20 (28 KDA) in a little over 33 minutes, and the rest of the roster backed it up everyone with a positive KDA, with blob topping souls on
Warden.
And then Abrahams reminded everyone why they’re Abrahams.
Abrahams swept 2-0 in the #26 Finals but it wasn’t two clean, identical wins. It was one clinical map followed by one of the wildest “how are they not dead?” comebacks we’ve seen in Night Shift.
Map 1
The early game was basically even, the kind of map where both teams are trading, probing, waiting for someone to blink.
And then right around 20 minutes, Abrahams hit the accelerator and never looked back.
They pushed a walker, chained it straight into a midboss, wiped all six Lowkey W players in the fight that followed, and then capped the whole sequence with an urn. In the span of that one stretch, the game went from “tight” to “nearly a 40k souls gap.” At that point it wasn’t about making hero plays, it was about not throwing.
Abrahams didn’t throw.
They kept control, closed off the map, and basically starved Lowkey W out of any clean way back in. The final numbers are ugly: 50-9 kills in 29 minutes, and Abrahams sitting on a 76k souls advantage at the end.
saintmxsm took MVP on
Paige and the statline is hilarious: 3/0/32 (35 KDA). But it wasn’t a solo show, together’s
Abrams (13/2/18) and Dimov’s deathless
Pocket (8/0/23) played very well creating a sense of its over after just one map, then Abrahams decided to have some fun...
Map 2
Up 1-0, Abrahams said “let’s see if this works”.
hoot locked in
Apollo, the first Night Shift appearance for Apollo ever, which is especially spicy considering Valve just nerfed the hero. And Tas went even deeper into the weird with
Graves, only the second Graves appearance in Night Shift.
It felt like Abrahams saying: “We trust our fundamentals. Let’s test something in a real match.”
Lowkey W immediately took the invitation.
They jumped on the early shakiness that comes with new heroes, and their draft had teeth. Seer’s
Sinclair was the engine, and the way it played next to blob’s
Warden was a problem all game. Add cosmetical on
Shiv playing like he wanted blood, and by around 35 minutes Lowkey W had built a massive lead, nearly 40k souls. That’s usually the part where a series turns into a third map.
Except Abrahams just… didn’t die and Lowkey W couldn't take their base.
Abrahams stayed calm, stopped bleeding, started taking the right fights while protecting their base, and slowly ripped the game back. It didn’t look like a miracle so much as a team refusing to panic. The kill count finishing 45-45 tells the story: Lowkey W had them on the ropes, Abrahams survived long enough for the map to flip.
Abrahams closed it out in 41 minutes.
sanya_sniper earned MVP on
Mirage (6/3/26, 10.67 KDA) and was the anchor when things got scary, finishing with a team-high 59,694 souls. And the funniest part? The Apollo “experiment” wasn’t just trolling — hoot put up 9/6/15 with nearly 50k player damage. Post-nerf or not, it clearly has teeth in the right hands.
Lowkey W absolutely punished Abrahams’ off-meta draft and had a real shot to force a third map. But in the end Abrahams won its 13th straight Night Shift in EU.
