The Deadlock Night Shift EU #59 started with the debut of Rat King, drafted by Abrahams. However, it didn’t go as planned, with Buff Enjoyers dominating them and advancing to the final against Leviathan.

Leviathan vs Buff Enjoyers

Game 1: Priest > Rat

Hidden King: Leviathan Archmother: Buff Enjoyers

Bans: Celeste, Pocket, Yamato, Paradox

Leviathan chose to debut the Rat King, marking his second appearance of the night and his first ever in the finals. However, Buff Enjoyers seem to have the perfect answer for him: Venator. They drafted the Priest against Abrahams and now they gave it priority one more time.

The game started with Leviathan taking the early lead. They dominated the lanes, then started to put pressure on Buff Enjoyers’ map, and with overseas’ Bebop roaming around getting kills, the game was much in favor of Leviathan. However, during the first mid-boss attempt, Leviathan spread out chasing the enemies and forgot the Rejuvenator. When you are against Buff Enjoyers, you can’t make mistakes. They took the rejuvs and started climbing back into the game.

Leviathan had one more chance in the game. Around the 30-minute mark, they successfully got a sneaky mid boss. This allowed them to bounce back and get some breathing room on the map by taking a walker and a rift. The third mid boss came around the 35-minute mark and ended in favor of Buff Enjoyers, who started to choke the map. Then the coup de grâce came after sanya_sniper’s Mina misstepped on the map, opening up a final free mid boss for BE, who closed out the game with a win.

Game 2: The Baba Yaga

Hidden King: Buff Enjoyers Archmother: Leviathan

Bans: Yamato, Paradox, Celeste, Pocket

For the second game of the finals, Buff Enjoyers brought Baba for the first time in DLNS. obikym on Baba was too much for the team; he, combined with vraic’s Holliday and cosmetical’s Grey Talon, formed a gank squad that roamed and hunted Leviathan’s players.

Leviathan had a good laning phase and managed to get some early leads. However, when the gank squad started the job, they were merciless. Leviathan bled kills around the map and was increasingly squeezed out. Leviathan tried to respond with map pressure by split pushing with empty dreams’s Mina. However, they had no chance in either team fight and saw Buff Enjoyers reclaim their crown in DLNS EU.
