MidwayLowkey W claimed the Night Shift EU #38 title with a clean 2-0 over Abrahams, extending their head-to-head record to a staggering 11-2 in map wins over the past week. vraic's Celeste posted a combined 22.50 KDA across both games.
Lowkey W closed out #38 with a convincing 2-0 win over Abrahams, giving Lowkey W another Night Shift EU title and extending what has quickly become one of the most one-sided matchups in Deadlock right now. Across five series in roughly a week, Lowkey W now holds an 11-2 map record against Abrahams, including wins in Night Shift #37, two R1 Tourney stages, the R1 Tourney Finals, and now Night Shift EU #38.
The story of the final was vraic on 
Celeste. Vraic earned MVP honors in both maps and finished the series 17/2/28, good for a combined 22.50 KDA. He went 5/1/16 in Game 1, then followed it with a 12/1/12 line in Game 2. Across 62 minutes, he died twice while leading Lowkey W in player damage in both games, putting up 37,787 damage in the opener and 37,785 in the closer.
Lowkey W did not overcomplicate the draft. Celeste was locked in both games, Zerggy stayed on 
Vyper, and Lystic played 
Victor twice. That core gave them a stable, repeatable structure. Zerggy led the lobby in souls in both games with 45,909 and 38,432 while also putting up the highest objective damage on Lowkey W in each map. Lystic’s Victor was the quieter engine of the series, finishing 6/8/41 with 35,584 healing in Game 1 and 46,498 healing in Game 2.

The support around that core was just as steady. hoot played 
Bebop in both maps and added another layer of sustain and control, finishing 8/8/30 across the series with more than 58,000 combined healing. The flex picks came from cosmetical and obikym. Cosmetical opened on 
Pocket, where he led Lowkey W with 49,491 souls and 89,798 objective damage, before swapping to 
Grey Talon in Game 2. Obikym moved from 
Haze to 
Mina, and the Mina game was his stronger showing, ending 7/2/18 with a 12.50 KDA.
Abrahams tried to adjust, but the changes did not shift the series. empty dreams moved from 
Lash to Pocket, arzo went from 
Mirage to 
Warden, saintmxsm swapped 
Vindicta for Lash, and Tas moved from 
Dynamo to 
Ivy. Only together on 
Silver and sanya_sniper on 
Apollo stayed on the same heroes in both games.

The bigger issue was the economy. Lowkey W out-souled Abrahams 235,789 to 170,993 in Game 1, then 209,253 to 155,362 in Game 2. Once the gap gets that large, the hero swaps matter less because Lowkey W is controlling the pace before the fights even start. Game 2 made that especially clear. Lowkey W broke a Shrine at 20:40 and finished the Patron at 29:25, nearly four minutes faster than their Game 1 win.
Lowkey W has Abrahams number
The recent history between these two teams is getting hard to ignore. Abrahams took maps in the earlier best-of-three meetings, but Lowkey W has now won seven straight maps against them. Night Shift #38 did not look like a close rivalry resetting itself. It looked like Lowkey W refining a formula Abrahams still has not solved: vraic on Celeste, Zerggy farming hard on Vyper, Lystic keeping the fights alive on Victor, and the rest of the roster flexing cleanly around them.
