In a gripping finale to the series, Leviathan and Boom found themselves entangled in controversy and chaos during their latest Dota 2 showdown. As tensions ran high, unforeseen circumstances unfolded, leading to disconnections, remakes, and heated debates that shook the gaming community.
Disconnection Dilemma
The climax of the series was marred by an unexpected turn of events when Pakazs from Leviathan disconnected and failed to reconnect during the pivotal third match.

Steam Maintenance Mayhem
Adding fuel to the fire was the timing of the disconnection, coinciding with Steam’s maintenance window. The unfortunate incident highlighted the vulnerability of online gaming platforms to disruptions, raising concerns among players and spectators alike.
Rematch Resolution
Amidst the chaos, the decision to remake the match stirred up controversy, with Leviathan expressing reservations over certain crucial details that they felt warranted consideration:
- Respawn Time: Leviathan argued that four of Boom’s players were dead with no available buyback.
- Creep Wave: The impending creep wave following Leviathan’s successful team fight was poised to bolster their push.
- Cooldowns and Timers: Leviathan insisted on maintaining the game state, including ability cooldowns, Roshan respawn time, and buyback timers.
The administrator assured compliance with Leviathan’s concerns before proceeding with the rematch, but the subsequent events would unveil a different reality.
I refuse to accept the way Boom won vs Leviathan, the remake was unfair and admin lied to Sammyboy.

- Loss of Focus: The controversial turn of events took a toll on Leviathan’s mental fortitude, evident in their loss of focus during crucial moments.
