The Deadlock Night Shift EU #54 started with Leviathan keeping their momentum from the weekend, where they won W Tourney 01. They outclassed Abrahams' new roster to try to dethrone Buff Enjoyers once more.
Buff Enjoyers vs Leviathan
Game 1: Lystic's nighmare game
Hidden King: Leviathan Archmother: Buff Enjoyers
Bans:
Mirage,
Billy,
Warden,
Venator
In the first game, Buff Enjoyers had a controversial draft, where they lost all of Zerggy's main heroes - they banned
Warden and
Venator and saw Leviathan steal
Lash. They opted for a squishier composition without a proper frontline hero. Leviathan, on the other hand, went with a very traditional draft.
The game started very busy, with both teams getting kills. However, Lystic's
Drifter became the main course for Leviathan, dying everywhere and every time. The fights didn't go well either, since Buff Enjoyers couldn't withstand Leviathan's impetus and were unable to get any trades. The last kill they got was around the 22-minute mark, making the game unreachable.
Game 2: Hoot's Celeste show
Hidden King: Buff Enjoyers Archmother: Leviathan
Bans:
Lash,
Infernus,
Mirage,
Billy
In the second game, Buff Enjoyers came back with Zerggy's Warden and a tanky hero for Lystic - this time, Mo & Krill. Leviathan stole Pocket and Wraith for themselves and hoped that would be enough to win DLNS EU #54.
This time, the game was very smooth for Buff Enjoyers. They managed to win all skirmishes from early to mid game, building strong momentum and controlling the map, with hoot's
Celeste jumping around the map and exploding Leviathan's players. After the first mid-boss, they managed to get all shrines and half patron. They kept the ball rolling and used the second mid-boss to close the game.
Game 3: the most consistent team
Hidden King: Leviathan Archmother: Buff Enjoyers
Bans:
Mirage,
Apollo,
Warden,
Infernus
The last game started in a very rough way for Buff Enjoyers, with Leviathan having a pretty strong start. They came out strong from the lane phase and were picking kill after kill in the early game. The game was playing out in a similar way to the first one, with Buff Enjoyers bleeding kills nonstop. However, with their backs against the wall, Zerggy's
Mina, cosmetical's
Venator, and hoot's
Celeste pulled a rabbit out of the hat. The trio managed to turn a bad fight into a win that allowed them to secure the first mid-boss. Now with the momentum, Buff Enjoyers just needed to keep the wheel spinning - and that's exactly what they did, getting their revenge from the W Tourney grand finals.
