Nobody saw this coming. Leviatán — the team many labeled “promising but not ready” — just became the youngest championship roster in VALORANT Masters history. On June 21 in London, they outlasted Paper Rex in a five-map thriller and walked away with $350,000 and their first international title.

LEV vs PRX Grand Final Results: Map-by-Map Breakdown
The match was played in a best-of-5 format and delivered exactly what the crowd came for — no early sweep, no easy answers, just a full five maps with everything decided at the very end.
| Map | Score | Winner |
|---|---|---|
| Fracture | 2:13 | Paper Rex |
| Split | 13:6 | Leviatán |
| Breeze | 11:13 | Paper Rex |
| Ascent | 13:10 | Leviatán |
| Lotus | 13:5 | Leviatán |
Map one was a disaster — PRX dismantled them 13:2 on Fracture, and it looked like it might be a quick series. But from Split onward, Leviatán flipped the switch entirely. The most telling moment came on the deciding Lotus: instead of cracking under pressure, they closed it out 13:5 — calm, clinical, dominant. That’s not how nervous teams play a grand final.
Leviatán Roster: Meet the VALORANT Masters London 2026 Champions
-
kiNgg (Francisco Aravena) — the squad’s leader and primary carry
-
Sato (Eduardo Nagahama) — consistent and reliable throughout
-
blowz (Guilherme Oliveira)
-
Neon (Bruno Rodriguez)
-
spikeziN (Rodrigo Lombardi)
A Latin American and Brazilian core — young, aggressive, and hard to read. That unpredictability is exactly what unsettled Paper Rex, a team that usually controls the pace of play. This time, they couldn’t.
Prize Money, VCT Points and What This Means for LATAM
Leviatán take home $350,000 and 6 VCT points — a massive boost heading into the world championship. For the LATAM region, this isn’t just a team winning a tournament. It’s proof that the region belongs at the top table of international VALORANT, not as an underdog story, but as a legitimate threat.
Meanwhile, Paper Rex suffer their second consecutive Masters final loss. They keep reaching the biggest stages — and keep falling short when it matters most. For f0rsakeN, Jinggg, and something, the question is painfully familiar: what breaks down in the grand final?
What’s Next: VCT Champions 2026
Winning Masters London isn’t the destination — it’s the launchpad. VCT Champions 2026 is next, and Leviatán will arrive as reigning Masters champions with ranking points and a completely different kind of confidence backing them up. The real question is whether they can replicate this performance when the pressure of a world championship hits differently.
Either way, this result sends a clear message to the rest of the VALORANT scene: the era of predictable champions is over. LATAM is here, they’re young, and they’re not waiting for permission to win.
