After an experimental Game 2 loss, Abrahams stamps its authority on Night Shift #27 EU.

Abrahams are your #27 champions after a 2-1 win over Leviathan in the finals of Deadlock Night Shift EU Stage 27.

This one played out in three clean steps: Abrahams stamped their authority early, Leviathan punched back when Abrahams got a little cute, and then Abrahams came right back with the most straightforward "fine, we'll just win" closeout you'll see.

Game 1: Abrahams crushing win

Map 1 wasn't competitive for long. Abrahams controlled the pace from the opening minutes and never looked like they were in danger, closing in 32:35.

Dimov was everywhere on Apollo, finishing 11/1/17 for a ridiculous 28.00 KDA and the MVP. hoot on Abrams (13/5/13) and sanya_sniper on Mirage (12/2/13) gave Abrahams a brutal one-two punch: pressure up front, damage right behind it, and Leviathan never found a stable fight.

The scoreboard says it best: 50-22 kills. Abrahams set the tone and kept it.

Game 2: The Seven look

Up 1-0, Abrahams tried to open up another wrinkle. Dimov swapped off Apollo onto Seven, and it really did feel like a "let's see if this can be part of our pool" kind of map.

There was a moment where it almost swung the whole game. At 23:30, a huge mid-boss fight blew open thanks to a big storm cloud ultimate—Dimov creates the chaos, and hoot cleans up the bodies. It kept Abrahams within shouting distance in a game that was already getting messy.

But Leviathan didn't panic. They stabilized, dragged the game late, and once they had their footing, they pulled out to a comfortable win in 42:03. 1R374M1 took MVP on Wraith with a 15.50 KDA, while oses's Lady Geist (11/5/19) and overseas's Bebop (9/4/26) kept fights organized and winnable.

Game 3: Abrahams puts the lab coat away

With the series tied, Abrahams stopped experimenting and went right back to simple, common, meta-friendly comfort. No tricks just clean heroes, clean fights, and a team that looked like it had zero interest in letting this drag on.

Dimov returned to business on Grey Talon and put up a perfect 15/0/17 for a 32.00 KDA. But the engine of the map was Tas on Paradox, posting 6/1/30 (36.00 KDA) and showing up in basically every single fight. The 67 total assists across the series tells you exactly what kind of series they had: constant setups, constant follow-through, constant pressure.

Game 3 ended in 30:46, and Leviathan never really got to breathe. sai's Calico had a nightmare line at 0/13/2 as Abrahams repeatedly found them and forced the issue.

The Road to the Final

Leviathan got here by beating Lowkey W in the semifinal, taking a tense 42:45 Bo1 where sai's Ivy (6/4/13, 4.75 KDA) earned MVP. Lowkey W led in a few individual categories, but Leviathan hit the right moments when it mattered and locked in their finals ticket.

Standouts

For Abrahams, Dimov was the best player in the lobby across the set—an absurd 17.75 average KDA even with the Game 2 loss. hoot led the server with 30 kills, and Tas's assist total was the connective tissue in every winning sequence.

For Leviathan, overseas's Bebop was steady all series, and oses showed real flexibility across three heroes—but when Abrahams went back to "standard" in Game 3, Leviathan couldn't match the raw pace and firepower.

Abrahams add another Night Shift title to the pile. And even though the Seven map didn't land this time, it wouldn't be surprising if we see it again—Abrahams clearly think there's something there.
