Leviatán edge Paper Rex 3–2 at Masters London

Leviatán won the Masters London 2026 final 3–2 against Paper Rex on June 21. The Americas representative recovered from an earlier 0–2 playoff loss to PRX, survived the lower bracket and took the rematch on the fifth map.

The best-of-five moved through Fracture, Split, Breeze, Ascent and Lotus. Paper Rex entered from the upper bracket, while Leviatán had beaten EDward Gaming 3–0 in the lower final one day earlier.

The Masters London 2026 final rewarded adaptation

Paper Rex had already shown it could control the matchup in the upper-bracket quarterfinal. Leviatán’s task was therefore not simply to repeat a successful plan against a new opponent; it had to identify which earlier reads had failed and rebuild the series across a five-map veto.

A long final creates several resets. Utility patterns that work on the first defensive half become visible, timeout adjustments change the next gun round, and the team that loses a map must carry useful information without carrying frustration.

Leviatán’s lower-bracket route ended with the trophy

Leviatán eliminated Team Heretics, Xi Lai Gaming, Team Vitality and EDward Gaming after dropping into the lower side. That route provided more recent stage repetitions, but it also demanded four elimination wins before facing a rested Paper Rex.

The 3–2 result awarded Leviatán the Masters title and the event’s top Championship Points allocation. Paper Rex finished second after reaching the grand final through the upper bracket.
