Comrade JoséLowkey W is on a 14-win streak, including a 3-0 in the R1 Finals, a 2-0 in DLNS EU #38, and a 5-0 in the Death Slam Invitational NA qualifiers. Their last loss came against Abrahams in the R1 Tourney group stage.
Last week, only the final match took place due to the massive roster shakeups in the EU teams. This time, things seem to be back to normal, at least with Leviathan, who rejoins and will face Abrahams in the challenger match. Sitting at the top is Lowkey W, who swept Abrahams in a one‑sided series and won their seventh straight map against them.
Also last weekend, the qualifiers for the Death Slam Invitational NA #3 Qualifier took place, where Lowkey W used the event to keep their momentum rolling. They played perfectly and won all five of their games, even with a ping disadvantage against NA teams. Now this week’s big question is: who can stop Lowkey W’s momentum?
Lowkey W
Last week, Lowkey W locked in the quartet of 
Bebop, 
Celeste, 
Vyper, and 
Victor, who gave them control of fights and paced the games. obikym played 
Haze and 
Mina, giving the team a stable and strong lane. In game 1, he delayed the timing of sanya_sniper’s 
Apollo, and in game 2, he messed with arzo’s 
Warden. cosmetical on 
Pocket was a high‑damage source in game 1 and a pace controller in game 2 with 
Grey Talon. The key players seem to be vraic and Zerggy. Shutting down these two is a must for a win – and Abrahams has managed to do it once.
Abrahams vs Leviathan
Leviathan played the qualifiers for the Death Slam Invitational and performed impressively, finishing with a 6‑1 record and earning the sixth seed for the main event. This time, they will try to stay warm. On the other hand, Abrahams’ last appearance was in last week’s DLNS EU, where they got stomped. So they might want to show something different and prove that they can be the best EU team.
The last time they met, Abrahams cleanly swept Leviathan in DLNS EU #36. But in DLNS EU #35, it was Leviathan who dominated the series. This shows just how evenly matched today’s game can be.
