PARIVISION Crowned Dota 2 Champions at Esports World Cup 2026

BetBoom began the final with the stronger performance. Their aggressive opening draft produced an 18–10 win in 47 minutes and 59 seconds, putting PARIVISION behind for the first time in the playoff series. Matvey “MieRo” Vasyunin’s Timbersaw and Ilya “Kiritych” Ulyanov’s Clinkz helped BetBoom control the first map.

Game two became the turning point. The teams remained close through the early and middle stages, but PARIVISION repeatedly found better engagements after the 30-minute mark. Volodymyr “No[o]ne” Minenko’s Invoker finished with 12 kills and 16 assists, while Alan “Satanic” Gallyamov recovered from three early deaths to record 11 kills and 13 assists. PARIVISION eventually won 34–27 after approximately 62 minutes.

With the series level, PARIVISION accelerated. They won game three 32–16 in just over 41 minutes behind No[o]ne’s Puck and Satanic’s Tiny. No[o]ne recorded 10 kills and 13 assists, while Satanic contributed 13 kills and eight assists with one death.

Game four was the most decisive map. PARIVISION built a 29–7 kill advantage and ended the game in 36 minutes and 47 seconds. Satanic led the kill count on Lifestealer, Edgar “9Class” Naltakyan supplied damage and control on Keeper of the Light, and No[o]ne created opportunities on Pangolier. The win completed PARIVISION’s three-map comeback and secured the championship.

PARIVISION entered the playoffs as Group C’s top seed after finishing the round robin 9–1 in maps. The team swept Team Nemesis, Vici Gaming, REKONIX and MOUZ, then drew 1–1 with Team Spirit. That record gave PARIVISION a direct playoff place and allowed them to avoid the Survival Stage.

In the quarterfinal, PARIVISION ended Rune Eaters’ underdog run with a 2–0 victory. Team Yandex presented the hardest playoff test in the semifinal, taking one map before PARIVISION advanced 2–1. The champions then recovered from losing the first game of the final to defeat BetBoom 3–1.

The Paris title makes PARIVISION one of the strongest teams entering The International 2026 tickets and viewing guide. It is another Tier 1 win in a successful 2026 campaign and shows that the roster can recover after losing the first map of a best-of-five final.

That form does not guarantee an Aegis. The International has a different stage, field and pressure level, and Dota 2 results can change quickly with patches, drafting trends and tournament conditions. PARIVISION arrive as a leading contender, while BetBoom’s run from the Survival Stage to the grand final also establishes them as a team capable of challenging in Shanghai.

The Dota 2 competition ran from July 7 to 19, 2026 at Paris Expo Porte de Versailles in France. It featured 24 teams and a PHP 123,570,000 (US$2 million) Dota 2 prize pool.

The Group Stage divided the field into four groups of six for single round-robin, best-of-two play. Group winners advanced directly to the playoffs, middle finishers entered the Survival Stage and the bottom teams were eliminated. The Survival Stage used a single-elimination best-of-three bracket to decide the remaining playoff places. The playoffs were also single elimination, with best-of-three series before the best-of-five grand final.
