Leviatan Are on Cruise Control
Leviatan enter the third week of VCT 2026 Americas Stage 2 with a 3-0 record, having already beaten FURIA, Evil Geniuses, and ENVY without any major issues. However, their toughest test is yet to come, as Leviatan prepare to clash with NRG, who are widely considered one of their main threats for the VCT Americas title.
Seeing Leviatan play as well as they have been is not surprising, as Leviatan have had a solid stretch of two months behind them. They placed second in Stage 1 and won the Masters London title. The surprising part is that Leviatan have not shown any signs of slowing down.
Sato, in particular, has been playing exceptionally well, posting a 1.23 performance rating, ahead of Neon at 1.19 and kiNgg at 1.17.
| Date | Event | Opponent | Result |
|---|---|---|---|
| July 26 | VCT 2026 Americas Stage 2 | ENVY | 2-0 (W) |
| July 23 | VCT 2026 Americas Stage 2 | Evil Geniuses | 2-0 (W) |
| July 16 | VCT 2026 Americas Stage 2 | FURIA | 2-1 (W) |
| June 21 | VALORANT Masters London 2026 | Paper Rex | 3-2 (W) |

NRG Are No Pushovers
NRG have been holding on well this stage. They are 2-0 after two weeks of play, having beaten MIBR and FURIA, with 2-1 and 2-0. While going 2-0 is promising, NRG have also yet to be properly tested, which is the main thing anyone can hold against them.
They needed a reverse-sweep against MIBR, who they bested with 9-13 on Sunset, 13-11 on Breeze, and 13-4 on Summit. It is worth noting that NRG were 2-10 down on Breeze, so that game could’ve easily ended in a 0-2 loss.
Against FURIA, NRG looked better but not as dominant as many expected, as FURIA forced overtime on Breeze (12-14) before losing Summit 7-13.
NRG have the players to compete for top spots in VCT Americas, but they’re relatively unproven this stage.
| Date | Event | Opponent | Result |
|---|---|---|---|
| July 24 | VCT 2026 Americas Stage 2 | FURIA | 2-0 (W) |
| July 19 | VCT 2026 Americas Stage 2 | MIBR | 2-1 (W) |
| July 12 | EWC 2026 | 100 Thieves | 1-3 (L) |
| July 11 | EWC 2026 | BBL Esports | 2-1 (W) |
| July 9 | EWC 2026 | Gentle Mates | 2-1 (W) |

Verdict
Leviatan have emerged as VCT America’s top team over the last few months, and they’ve looked good over the first two weeks of Stage 2.
NRG, on the other side, still have more to prove after their victories against MIBR and FURIA; however, there is no denying that NRG have the talent and experience to make something happen.
Despite producing less inspiring results, NRG can do damage, as they have a strong map pool, and their top players are in solid shape. While expecting an upset is a bit too optimistic, NRG can at least keep this one close.
