New challenge, same result. Buff Enjoyers continue their impressive win streak in DLNS. This time they took down Leviathan, who put up a fight in the second game, but it was not enough to hurt the behemoth.

The Deadlock Night Shift EU #53 started with Leviathan hard-stomping Abrahams and returning to the money stage after more than two months.

Buff Enjoyers vs Leviathan

Game 1: Greedy is good

Hidden King: Leviathan Archmother: Buff Enjoyers

Bans: Pocket, Graves, Lash, Sinclair

In the first game, Buff Enjoyers decided to go greedy with Zerggy’s Warden, cosmetical’s Venator, and hoot’s Mirage. On the other hand, Leviathan went with a more team fight focused draft with Irezumi’s Dynamo, overseasBilly, and sanya_sniper’s Celeste.

Leviathan had a clear plan: do well in the early game and win the mid-fights with their heavy area crowd control. However, Buff Enjoyers survived the early game and went uncontested in both mid-bosses of the game. Irezumi’s Dynamo, who was the main engine of their teamfights, didn't land a single Singularity for the first 20 minutes, and when he used it, it was completely nullified by Obykim’s Rem.

Game 2: Leviathan went Buff Enjoyers mode but struggled in the end

Hidden King: Buff Enjoyers Archmother: Leviathan

Bans: Lash, Sinclair, Calico, Mirage

For the second game, both teams swapped picks, with Buff Enjoyers picking Dynamo for hoot and Leviathan stealing Graves for Dimov and the infamous empty dreamsPocket.

The game turned into a huge snowball for Buff Enjoyers, building a good early lead and Hoot managing to hit good Singularities. Yet, Leviathan copied Buff Enjoyers' draft and decided to play their style. Around the 20-minute mark, they contested the first mid-boss of the game and did pretty well, with Empty Dreams’ Pocket putting a 4-man Affliction. The second mid-boss was even wilder, with Leviathan avoiding and kiting all of Buff Enjoyers' spells. Dimov’s Graves messed with the enemies, and Empty Dreams cleaned up the party to take the lead.

However, Buff Enjoyers always found a way to win. First, they ambushed Leviathan close to their base, killing five players and putting down the shrines as a result. Then they forced a Rift fight to close the game.
