The International 2025 team profile–PARIVISION

For the second installment of GosuGamers' profiles on the teams competing in TI 2025, we take a look at Eastern Europe's PARIVISION.

The International (TI) 2025, this year's edition of Dota 2's annual world championship tournament, is slowly looming over the horizon. From 4 to 11 September in Hamburg, Germany, 16 of the best Dota 2 teams in the world will battle it out across three stages of competition to earn the right to claim this year's Aegis of Champions.

For longtime Dota 2 fans and newcomers to the scene alike, TI season is their best chance to see the top teams play some world-class Dota to try and win one of the most prestigious titles in all of esports. If you want to know more about the competitors stepping into the arena in this year's battle for the Aegis of Champions, GosuGamers has you covered.

For the second installment of our series of profiles on the teams competing in TI 2025, let's shine the spotlight on Eastern Europe's PARIVISION.

PARIVISION Dota 2 roster:

PARIVISION, Dota 2's new powerhouse

PARIVISION may be a relatively new organisation to the Dota 2 scene, but make no mistake, they are one of the biggest favourites to claim the Aegis of Champions this year.

PARIVISION has been competing in Dota 2 since 2022, when they were still known as Pari Parni. However, the organisation only became relevant last October when they signed Remco “Crystallis” Arets, Volodymyr “No[o]ne” Minenko, Dmitry “DM” Dorokhin, Naltakyan “9Class” Edgar, and Andrey “Dukalis” Kuropatkin.

The team showed plenty of promise in their first two months, finishing in the Top 4 of RES Regional Champions, DreamLeague Season 24, 1win Series Dota 2 Fall, and BLAST Slam I. PARIVISION then solidified their place as one of the best teams in the world when they won ESL One Bangkok 2024 last December, notably beating TI 2024 champions Team Liquid in four games in the grand finals.

PARIVISION were already considered one of the world's best teams heading into 2025, but the team were clearly determined to put themselves in the best position to win TI this year. So, in early January, they surprisingly benched Crystallis–who notably played a key role in their victory in ESL One Bangkok–in order to acquire prodigy Alan “Satanic” Gallyamov on loan from Team Spirit.

Satanic became the most-hyped prospect in Dota 2 in recent memory after he became the youngest player to reach 13,000 MMR at just 16-years old in February 2024. He then joined Spirit last September, given the herculean task of filling the shoes left by Illya “Yatoro” Mulyarchuk after the latter took a break from competitive play.

While Spirit struggled in the absence of Yatoro, with their best result being a second place finish in 1win Series Dota 2 Fall, Satanic lived up to the hype. But after only four months in Spirit's active roster, Satanic was benched following Yatoro's return. Satanic may be the biggest prospect of today, but he can't replace arguably the greatest carry player in Dota 2 history.

With that said, Satanic's time with PARIVISION so far does put him in a trajectory to perhaps challenge Yatoro's legacy someday.

PARIVISION's first couple of months with Satanic was quite the rollercoaster. In February, they finished third in FISSURE PLAYGROUND 1 then 5th-6th in BLAST Slam II. March followed a similar pattern, where they placed third in DreamLeague Season 25 and 7th–8th in FISSURE Universe: Episode 4, with both those eliminations coming at the hands of Spirit.

However, PARIVISION were quick to exact revenge, defeating Spirit in a four-game grand finals showdown to be crowned as champions of ESL One Raleigh 2025. And while PARIVISION did get a massive victory over their biggest rival, a new one emerged weeks later when they narrowly lost to Liquid in five games in the grand finals of PGL Wallachia Season 4. Spirit then struck back in early May when they knocked PARIVISION out of BLAST Slam III in 7th–8th place.

Even so, PARIVISION's results in the first four months of the year were enough to secure them an all-important direct invite to TI 2025 alongside Liquid, Spirit, Tundra Esports, Team Falcons, Gaimin Gladiators, BetBoom Team, and Team Tidebound.

After securing their direct invite to TI 2025, PARIVISION continued rolling by winning DreamLeague Season 26 in June. However, they would once again fall to Liquid in the grand finals of FISSURE Universe: Episode 5 in early July. PARIVISION then had to watch Spirit lift the trophy at the Esports World Cup 2025 later that month after getting knocking out in third place by Tundra. And in the team's last tournament appearance before TI 2025, they were eliminated in 7th–8th place at Clavision Masters: Snow-Ruyi after falling victim to an upset by Xtreme Gaming.

Can PARIVISION live up to their promise in TI 2025?

PARIVISION are looking like one of the three biggest favourites to win TI 2025 alongside their two biggest rivals, Spirit and Liquid. They boast one of the most dynamic rosters out there, with their prodigy carry player grabbing the most attention by far.

Despite his young age, Satanic already plays like a seasoned veteran for the most part. He knows when to focus on farming and join his team in making plays, taking full advantage of the space afforded to him by his fellow core players. He's no Yatoro, but the potential for greatness in Satanic is plain for all to see. TI will be the first big test of his young, yet already promising, career.

Another exciting player to look out for in PARIVISION is 9class, who has already made a name for himself as one of the most unique position 4 support players out there. While 9class is known for pulling out some wacky picks from time to time, he made his mark by finding so much farm as a support that even Yazied “YapzOr” Jaradat himself will be proud. Expect him to become a fourth core for PARIVISION should a game run long enough.

Then we have DM and Dukalis, who provide steady hands for PARIVISION to balance out their flashier teammates. DM does all the dirty work you want out of an offlaner, finding enough farm against difficult matchups to buy the key items that help fuel his team's mid game offensives. Dukalis is a reliable position 5 support, with a knack for ward placement and vision control that are crucial for ensuring his team gets the best engagement possible. Just don't let him all-chat the other team to talk trash in the middle of a losing series…

But the real heart and soul of PARIVISION is No[o]ne, arguably the most underrated mid laner in the game's history. He was once the young firebrand of a mid laner that fueled the Virtus.pro squad that dominated the scene from 2017 and 2018 (if you don't count TI for those years). But now a decorated, 27-year old veteran, his approach to the game is much more methodical and unflappable. While most modern mid laners act as a secondary carry hero, No[o]ne still prefers to be a hyperactive playmaker that terrorizes the enemy side lanes.

Satanic will carry PARIVISION to the finish line, but it will be No[o]ne's dynamic playmaking that will pave the team's road to victory. Only a few teams can realistically stand in their way towards claiming the Aegis of Champions, most notably Spirit and Liquid. If we had to rank those three teams on paper, PARIVISION sit squarely in third.

After all, the core of Spirit's roster are two-time TI winners, while Liquid are the defending champions. PARIVISION have no TI winners on their squad. The climb up the summit is always the hardest the first time around, but PARIVISION don't have to deal with the pressure of having to reclaim the Aegis as their two rivals do. If PARIVISION can play freely, and they've already shown flashes of being absolute world-beaters in their victory in Raleigh, then TI 2025 is theirs for the taking.
