When 100 Thieves and Leviatán loaded into the server for their VCT Americas clash, it felt like more than just another early-season matchup. This was a test of composure versus momentum, structure versus fire — and across three intense maps, 100 Thieves proved they’re ready to grind through pressure when it matters most, taking the series 2–1 in emphatic fashion.

The series opened on Bind, and while Leviatán showed early intent, 100 Thieves quickly wrestled control with disciplined mid-round calling and confident individual fights. Every time Leviatán looked ready to build momentum, the Thieves slammed the door shut with sharp rotations and timely clutches. Their defensive setups were clean, their executes decisive, and by the time the dust settled, 100 Thieves had secured a 13–9 win that felt like a clear statement of intent.

Leviatán refused to fade quietly on Pearl, responding with urgency and adaptability. They played with pace, punishing overextensions and flipping rounds with fearless aggression. The map turned into a battle of inches, but Leviatán consistently found value in key moments — winning critical duels, clutching when it mattered, and denying 100 Thieves the ability to settle into their rhythm. Their 13–10 victory tied the series and reignited the crowd, proving they were more than capable of swinging the momentum back their way.

With everything on the line, Split became the map the end it. From the opening rounds, 100 Thieves looked locked in and calm under pressure and precise in their retakes. Their economy management was textbook, their reads grew sharper with every round, and Leviatán found fewer and fewer openings to exploit. When the final rounds hit, 100 Thieves didn’t hesitate. They closed the map 13–9, sealing the series with authority and composure.

In the end, this match was a showcase of resilience. 100 Thieves demonstrated their ability to reset after star power hit them dead on and bounce back when the stakes were highest, while Leviatán showed flashes of brilliance and raw fire that will make them dangerous moving forward. It wasn’t just a win — it was a reminder that in VCT Americas this year, anyone can make it to Masters Santiago if the series falls their way.
