Leviatán have officially locked in their VALORANT roster for the 2026 season, bringing together a mix of returning stars and rising Brazilian talent as they aim to push back into international contention. After an inconsistent 2025 run, the Argentine organisation is looking to refresh its identity while keeping its long-standing core intact.

Leviatán Unveil New VALORANT Roster for 2026

Leviatán have finally lifted the curtain on their full VALORANT roster for the 2026 season, confirming a refreshed lineup built around established LATAM pillars and a wave of young Brazilian firepower. The organisation is aiming for a strong return to form after a turbulent 2025 campaign, with hopes of securing a spot on the international stage once again.

A New Era Begins for Leviatán

The team announced their full squad on social media, welcoming five players into what the organisation calls the next chapter of LEVinitiation. While the roster features several new faces, Leviatán have chosen to retain their leadership core, keeping their long-time shotcaller and standout performers at the centre of their rebuild.

The confirmed 2026 lineup includes:

  • Francisco “kiNgg” Alberto Aravena
  • Eduardo Kenzo “Sato” Sato
  • Guilherme “blowz” Oliveira
  • Bruno “Neon” Rodríguez
  • Rodrigo “spikeziN” Lombardi

Joining them on the tactical side are former Leviatán Academy coaches Rodrigo “Milton” Dalmagro as head coach and Cristian “Jhein” Camaño as assistant coach.

Who Are Leviatán’s New Brazilian Stars?

Leviatán’s 2026 roster places heavy emphasis on Brazilian talent, with three exciting prospects stepping into the VCT Americas league.

SpikeziN’s First Full VCT Season

Perhaps the biggest addition is Rodrigo “spikeziN” Lombardi, who previously helped 2GAME Esports win Ascension Americas 2024. Despite qualifying for the VCT 2025 season, he had to wait until Stage 2 to debut due to age restrictions. Now 18, SpikeziN is finally set for his first full season in the top tier, giving Leviatán a high-ceiling duelist known for his sharp aim and aggressive play.

blowz and neon Graduate From a Dominant Academy Run

Leviatán Academy’s star duo blowz and neon also make the jump to the main lineup. The pair were standout performers in VCL Latin America South throughout 2025, securing first place in both Stage 1 and Stage 2. Despite their dominance, academy rules prevented them from entering Ascension. Their promotion to the main team felt inevitable, and Leviatán have now fully committed to developing their rising stars at the highest level.

Returning Core Brings Stability

Two familiar names return to anchor the roster in 2026.

kiNgg Enters His Fifth Year With Leviatán

Francisco “kiNgg” Aravena remains the team’s heartbeat. Now entering his fifth season with the organisation, kiNgg continues to serve as Leviatán’s in-game leader and emotional centre. His experience will be crucial for guiding the team’s younger talents.

Sato Continues as Leviatán’s Explosive Duelist

Eduardo “Sato” Sato, who joined midway through the 2025 season, will continue as one of the team’s primary playmakers. His flashy duelist style brought Leviatán much-needed firepower, and he quickly proved he could hang with the region’s top performers.

Looking Back at Leviatán’s 2025 Performance

Leviatán’s 2025 run was marked by highs and lows. While they secured top-six finishes at both Americas Kickoff and Stage 2, they struggled to find the consistency needed to qualify for international events. The team placed top 10 at Stage 1 and won the Tixinha & Sacy Invitational, but their Esports World Cup 2025 Americas Qualifier run ended early in the group stage.

Despite glimpses of strong form, Leviatán missed out on the VCT 2025 Champions cycle, prompting the need for a roster shakeup and renewed direction.

VCT 2026 Expectations and What Comes Next

Leviatán will kick off their 2026 campaign at the VCT Americas Kickoff, where the region’s top 12 teams battle for a slot at Masters Santiago. With a blend of veteran leadership and young Brazilian talent, Leviatán’s refreshed lineup aims to reclaim their place among the region’s best teams and bring the organisation back to the international stage for the first time in two years.

Fans have high expectations for this new roster, which looks well-balanced, hungry, and ready for a breakout season.
