Leviathan claims Night Shift EU #31 over Abrahams in dramatic three maps

NewsMidway3 hours ago

Irezumi's masterful Rem play anchored Leviathan to a 2-1 victory over Abrahams in the Deadlock Night Shift EU #31 finals, posting a tournament-best 8.00 KDA alongside 75 assists across three games.

Leviathan won the #31 finals at Deadlock Night Shift EU, taking a 2–1 series over Abrahams. The match had a little of everything: a one-sided opener, a marathon comeback to force a third map, and then a decisive closeout that never really turned back. The bigger backdrop is what it means for Abrahams, once the team that defined EU with 14 straight King of the Hill wins, they’ve now dropped four straight. At this point it’s fair to wonder if they’ll eventually need to consider roster changes, because the results are starting to stack up.

Game 1 (28:32) — Leviathan set the tone early

Leviathan came out sharp and stayed that way, winning kills 36–13 and building a clear farm edge (203,716 to 159,754 souls). Irezumi on Rem was the connector in every fight (2/1/28 for a 30.00 KDA), while oses and overseas cleaned up with eight and nine kills. Oses’ Graves topped the lobby in souls (39,746) and player damage (56,896), and Abrahams never really found a stable midgame.

Game 2 (50:56) — Abrahams drag it to a decider

Abrahams answered with the longest map of the series and their best look of the night. hoot on Silver was the centerpiece: 13/4/24 and over 112,000 objective damage, nearly double anyone else in the server. sanya_sniper moved from Lady Geist to Venator and immediately added punch (14 kills, 80,600 player damage). Abrahams won kills 60–36 and flipped the economy (381,599 to 329,778 souls), forcing a Game 3 after a true grinder of a comeback.

Game 3 (36:59) — Leviathan slam the door

The decider looked a lot more like Map 1 than Map 2. Oses pivoted to Mina and led the way with 13 kills, while Freemok rebounded on Shiv (11/4/20). And once again, Irezumi’s Rem was the constant with 2/1/27 (29.00 KDA) with over 50,000 healing, enabling Leviathan’s carries to take fights on their terms. Abrahams fell apart in the end. One rough example was together on Billy going 0/11/6, and the team finished with just 13 kills to Leviathan’s 44, alongside a soul gap that stretched to roughly 64k.

Series MVP: Irezumi

If you’re picking one player who shaped the series, it’s Irezumi. Across three maps, Irezumi’s Rem put up 75 assists and was key in the two Leviathan wins. When Abrahams managed to disrupt that support structure in Game 2, the series extended. When they couldn’t, Leviathan ran the match.

Leviathan take the Night Shift EU #31 title. For Abrahams, the Game 2 response shows the ceiling is still there, but with four straight losses after a run where they once owned the format, consistency is now the question they have to answer.
