Leviatan Are Playing As Well As Expected
Leviatan did not look great during the regular season, at least relative to the expectations. However, they started to warm up towards the playoffs and really turned up in the knockout stage.
Leviatan kicked off the playoffs with a convincing 2-1 victory against the defending champions, FURIA, and added a 2-1 win over the high-flying MIBR in the upper bracket finals.
Over the two games, Leviatan have shown great things, namely that they have a solid plan for most maps and great depth in their strategy. On the other side, Leviatan showed cracks on Breeze and Fracture, and you could argue they’ve not been pusher properly to experiment with their strategy. This could create a vulnerability for G2 Esports to exploit.
Despite some cracks, Leviatan are playing as well as everyone expected them to.

G2 Esports Are In Excellent Form
G2 Esports have been playing exceptionally well this stage. They have so far crushed 100 Thieves and KRU Esports, where G2 proved they’re very efficient in facing teams who are reliant on set strategies.
G2 are extremely good at preparing themselves for their opponents and finding holes in their approaches. So unlike most other teams, G2 Esports are less reliant on macro play and more on individual players.
With such a stacked roster, this approach works, especially for a team that is very flexible. On the other side, relying too much on individual players has its downsides as well.

|---|---|---|---|
| May 16 | VCT Americas Stage 1 Playoffs | KRU Esports | 2-0 (W) |
| May 15 | VCT Americas Stage 1 Playoffs | 100 Thieves | 2-0 (W) |

Verdict
Leviatan and G2 Esports have both shown excellent things during the playoffs. But there is no denying that G2 have looked more dominant than Leviatan.

Quality-wise, there is not much to separate G2 and Leviatan. Stylistically, G2 Esports are in a much better spot.
