Leviatán players C0M, tex and okeanos to explore options for 2026

Three VALORANT players from Leviatán have shared that they are exploring options for the 2026 VCT season. This follows a disappointing 2025 campaign from the VCT Americas partner team.

The players include Corbin ‘C0M‘ Daniel Lee, Anthony ‘okeanos‘ Nguyen and Ian ‘tex‘ Bosch, whose contracts have yet to expire but have been moved to the inactive position as the organisation considers the roster’s future.

C0M first joined the roster on January 9th, 2024. His most notable achievement was winning VALORANT Champions 2023 in Los Angeles, US, while competing for Evil Geniuses. He shared that his contract with Leviatán was expiring, and that he was open to competing in all regions and roles, including as an IGL.

Leviatán’s most recent addition, okeanos, joined earlier this year on May 14th, 2025. The player showcased a lot of potential as an up-and-coming esports athlete, placing third in the College VALORANT 2023-2024 Championship while playing for Blinn Esports. Earlier this year, he placed second while competing for M80 in the VALORANT Challengers 2025 North America Stage 1 event. The player revealed that he is looking for opportunities as a Controller, Flex, and Duellist for ‘2026 and beyond’.

The last of the three is tex, who has been with the organisation since October 12th, 2023. He has contributed to some of Leviatán’s biggest achievements over the years, including winning VCT Americas Stage 2 in 2024, which was a standout year for the organisation.

After nearly two years of competing with Leviatán, tex announced that he was exploring ‘options ‘VCT offers’ as a Sentinel, Duellist, and Smokes player.

As it stands, only Francisco ‘KiNgg‘ Alberto Aravena and Eduardo ‘Sato‘ Kenzo Nagahama Sato remain within Leviatán’s active roster.

Leviatán has struggled to compete in VALORANT this year, headlined by failing to qualify for VALORANT Champions 2025 in Paris.

Leviatán began VCT Americas Stage 2 with a strong start, placing second in its respective group during the Group Stage. The roster saw several highlight moments during this stage, winning matches against teams such as 100 Thieves and KRÜ Esports. However, it was knocked out in the Lower Bracket Quarterfinals after losing 0-2 to NRG in the Playoffs.

Leviatán also failed to qualify for any of VALORANT’s other international events this year. The organisation missed Masters Bangkok after losing 0-2 to G2 Esports in the Lower Bracket Quarterfinals during Americas Kickoff. Furthermore, it fell short of qualifying for the 2025 Masters Toronto event after placing 10th in Americas Stage 1.

This is a big departure from the organisation’s performance in 2024, when it won VCT Americas Stage 2 and went on to place third at VALORANT Champions tournament in Seoul.
