Although the Valorant competitive pre-season has just begun, there has been little time for players or teams to rest. The transfer market kicked into high gear, bringing several high-profile moves. From Saadhak joining Karmine Corp in VCT EMEA to Mazino’s return to KRÜ, the off-season is full of surprises.

The possible departure of Aspas from Leviatán has intensified rumors about his replacement, and Demon1’s name has been at the center of attention.

Leviatán’s Potential Blockbuster Move

According to esports insiders Lembo and Anonimotum, Leviatán could make a big splash by signing Demon1, the Champions 2023 winner with Evil Geniuses.

Almost at the same time these rumors surfaced, NRG, Demon1’s current team, announced that he would be leaving the organization. While it seems likely that Demon1 would join Leviatán to fill Aspas’ role, there’s still no official confirmation regarding Aspas’ future with the team.

Demon1 has played the Controller role both for Evil Geniuses and NRG, and he would likely continue to do so with Leviatán if the move goes through.
