C0M Makes Strategic Move to Leviatan for VCT 2024
C0M, currently renowned as one of the most seasoned Initiators in Valorant, particularly excels in his command over Sova. During the VCT 2023 season, his exceptional performance on Sova garnered widespread acclaim, showcasing a remarkable clutch percentage and a repertoire of lineups for diverse scenarios. His pivotal role as an Initiator for EG played a crucial part in securing the World Championship for the team. However, post-championship triumph, EG faced internal challenges, leading to pay cuts for the champions.
The discontentment with their treatment prompted a mass exodus of players, with C0M choosing to align with other organizations, predominantly NRG and 100T (Ethan and Demon1 joining NRG, Boostio signing with 100T). This shift sets the stage for an intriguing chapter as we delve into the significance of C0M’s inclusion in the Leviatán roster for the upcoming season. As an experienced player with a proven track record, C0M’s strategic prowess and mastery of Sova are poised to bring invaluable contributions to Leviatán, shaping their performance and dynamics in VCT 2024. The spotlight now shines on how C0M’s skills and experience will influence Leviatán’s competitive journey in the evolving landscape of Valorant esports.
C0M’s Dominance Unleashed: A Day to Remember in VCT 2023
In the eventful year of 2023, C0M navigated through a tumultuous journey with Evil Geniuses. Their rocky start saw them exiting VCT Lock-In prematurely, but a stroke of fortune allowed them to secure a spot in Masters Tokyo when MIBR defeated 100T. The pivotal turning point occurred at Masters Tokyo, where C0M’s adaptability shone as he seamlessly transitioned between Sova, Breach, and Viper on specific maps. This versatility played a key role in Evil Geniuses’ Cinderella run, culminating in a commendable 2nd-place finish.
Undeterred, Evil Geniuses faced Valorant Champions 2023 with a target on their backs. Despite the heightened competition, the team, led by C0M’s strategic brilliance on Viper and Sova, triumphed over formidable opponents like Paper Rex, LOUD, and DRX. The culmination of their efforts resulted in a resounding victory as Evil Geniuses claimed the coveted World Champions title, defeating Paper Rex 3-2 in the finals.
Post-triumph, however, the team encountered challenges, leading to their disbandment. C0M’s journey took a new turn as he found himself joining the Argentinian Valorant Team, Leviatan, marking the beginning of a fresh chapter in his competitive Valorant career.
