Former world champion Maximilian " Demon1 " Mazanov has officially parted ways with Leviatán after a long stint on the bench, the organization announced via its social media channels.

In may , Demon1 was moved to the bench after spending seven months with the team. During his time, the roster failed to achieve the desired results, prompting changes that saw Brazilian player Eduardo "Sato" Nagahama take his spot, more detail about it here. While with Leviatán, Demon1 competed in two VCT events — VCT 2025: Americas Kickoff, where they finished 5th–6th, and VCT 2025: Americas Stage 1, where they failed to advance from the group stage, placing 9th–10th.

Currently, the player is focusing on content creation, and his return to tier-1 professional play in the near future remains uncertain, as the season is in full swing and no team is likely to make roster changes this late. The most probable options are waiting for the offseason or joining a tier-2 team, similar to what recently happened with S1Mon from EDward Gaming .
