Nothing is less true with the recent leak by anonimotum: spikeziN is moving toward a verbal agreement with Leviatán to join the roster for the VCT in 2026. The move is probably part of the big roster rework that probably is going on with the team as they transition into the upcoming competitive cycle.
The news spread across social media and instantly set tremors throughout the Valorant scene, with players and fans alike reacting to what many are calling a superteam being put together. Considering an acquisition such as of spikeziN, known for being a wild, very daring duelist, feels like Leviatán is trying to finally rework how they decide to play the game on the basis of the popular view on their below-average 2025 season.
So, then, what is going to happen to Leviatán’s current roster? Swelling community reactions tend to point at the certain imminent departure of Okeanos and C0m from the team. One user saying, “We’re letting go of Okeanos and C0m bro what” pretty much gives it away as to this not being just an addition but a replacement. The shakeup may be bigger than everyone thought.
The community has been especially amped about the pairing of spikeziN and already existing player Sato, with many users describing the duo as “filthy” and stating that Leviatán might become “scary for once.” After such instability in the VCT circuit from Leviatán recently, that is praise indeed. Someone even went on to say “Lev winning everything in 2026 ong,” echoing the level of confidence brought forth by this move.
Most of the voices in understanding seem to have turmoil around the makeup and roster roles as some users questioned if a double duelist setup would even be a thing with spikeziN and someone else. In contrast, others were trying to guess who would fill the spot for Okeanos. The general idea pretty much looks like spikeziN will be flex, bringing much-needed versatile options to the team agent pool.
The international-flavored move immediately caught the attention of one particular user who stated, “Spike and sato at the same time? So Lev is building a BR superteam before BR orgs?” This suggests that Leviatán may be carving a niche for itself as the premier BR/South America outfit ahead of the orgs that have traditionally laid claim to that region.
But not all is love and support. Some comments worriedly compared this team to a worse version of KRU if the double-duelist experiment didn’t work out and questioned what this shuffles means for silentzz, who will probably find himself without a team.
The Portuguese community weighed in heavily on the Leinad group as they analyzed whether Neon might be a better fit than Ghoul and how Onur’s coaching was going to affect these discussions surrounding the final lineup. There was even some chatter about Kingg potentially taking on the IGL role as spikeziN plays second duelist.
What is interesting is how the watermark of perception about Leviatán has completely shifted forward. Before this leak, most would have probably put them as the best mid-tier team at best. Comments such as “Lev might be master contender 2026” and “Lev looking good so far” reveal how much one signing can change things in esports.
The “timing” of this leak acts both weird and suspicious, mainly because we are still pretty far from the 2026 season. This means that the teams at this moment are moving and planning way ahead of time, which is weird for a Valorant rostermania that usually happens really close to the season start.
As with any leak or rumors, albeit the credibility that anonimotum seems to have, the important notion to keep in mind is that this is still just a verbal agreement. Things can always change, contracts can fall apart, and it only becomes official when an announcement is made from the organization. However, judging by the community response, one would be almost compelled to believe that if this move were to go through, it would absolutely shake up the South American Valorant landscape.
The excitement is bubbling as a user comments, “Omg i just wanna skip time to see the rosters for 2026 ughhh,” which pretty much sums up the feelings of a large number of people in regards to the pro roster movements we have barely seen thus far. Will be a long wait before these new rosters will be on the big stage, but at least the hype is built-up.
Whether or not this move sees success for Leviatán, only time will tell. The annals of esports are littered with “superteams” that looked amazing on paper but flopped in real life. For now, the community thinks Leviatán may have just made the move to finally make them real contenders within the VCT circuit.
Time will tell if spikeziN is the one piece Leviatán was missing, but one thing is for sure: This 2026 VCT is going to be a lot more exciting for South American Valorant fans.
