Leviatán Esports and FURIA will meet in the first quarter-final of the VALORANT Champions Tour 2023: Americas League top draw. The winner will advance to the LOUD, while the loser will move on to the lower net.
In general, the Chilean side should be grateful that they made it to the play-offs at all, since they were seriously beaten at the end of the regular season. FURIA had problems as well, and they obviously couldn't pull themselves together.
So right now the teams are about equal, and last time the Brazilians won in a very close game. Therefore, I would rely on three points here.

The first team in the Latin American rankings had a cool run in the group stage of the VALORANT Champions Tour 2023: Americas League with three wins in four matches.
However, Leviatán Esports decided to make their way through the tournament more difficult as they suffered defeats to Evil Geniuses and 100 Thieves, dropping them to the bottom of the table.
Already in the end the Chilean team was hanging on by a thread, especially without the chances of Ledgeil Cloud9 and LOUD. However, the mistakes of their rivals still helped Leviatán Esports to pass to the play-offs.
Leviatán Esports' latest results:
- A 1-2 defeat to 100 Thieves.
- A 1-2 defeat to Evil Geniuses.
- A 2-0 win over KRÜ Esports.
- 0-2 defeat at the hands of Cloud9.
- 0-2 defeat by LOUD.
Leviatán Esports top scorers:
- Pearl - 100% wins.
- Bind - 100% wins.
- Split - 67% wins.
- Ascent - 50% wins.

It's worth remembering that the Chilean team usually refuses to play Fracture.
FURIA uniforms
The third team in the Brazilian rankings has also fared well in the regular season of the VALORANT Champions Tour 2023: Americas League, winning several matches.
But like their opponents, FURIA failed to keep up the momentum and towards the middle of the group stage began to lose games and make mistakes.
As it happened, the Brazilian side are now one win away from winning their last five games. FURIA also failed to cope with Cloud9, NRG, 100 Thieves and even Sentinels.
FURIA's latest results:
- A 0-2 defeat to Cloud9.
- 2-0 win over MIBR.
- 1-2 defeat to NRG.
- 1-2 defeat at the hands of 100 Thieves.
- 1-2 defeat at the hands of Sentinels.
FURIA's best scores:
- Pearl - 60% wins.
- Ascent - 60% wins.
- Haven - 60% wins.
- Split - 50% wins.
In turn, the Brazilian team has most often given up maps Lotus.

Forecast for Leviatán Esports vs FURIA
Then the teams played Pearl, Icebox and Ascent, one of which we definitely won't see. On the other hand, the game was very even, and at some points the Chileans were stronger.
However, right now, Leviatán Esports and FURIA leave a far from pleasant feeling, and in the play-offs the teams made a slim chance.
So it is logical to assume that in such a battle everything will be decided on the third card. Therefore, in this case, I'd recommend betting on Total at 2.5.
