PARIVISION previously earned a direct berth to the upper bracket semifinals of the BLAST Slam VII Playoffs.
Eastern European Dota 2 powerhouse 
PARIVISION will miss out on the BLAST Slam VII Playoffs in Copenhagen, Denmark due to visa issues. BLAST announced on Tuesday (2 June) that PARIVISION will have to skip the Playoffs after the team encountered “complications in travel permissions."
PARIVISION were among the six teams qualified for the BLAST Slam VII Playoffs alongside 
LGD Gaming, 
BetBoom Team, 
Team Falcons, 
Team Yandex, and 
Aurora Gaming. PARIVISION previously earned an upper bracket semifinals berth in the Playoffs by virtue of finishing as the second seed in the tournament's Group Stage.
Western Europe's 
Team Liquid, who missed out on a spot in the Playoffs after losing to Aurora in round two of the Last Chance Qualifier (LCQ), have been tapped to fly to Copenhagen in PARIVISION's absence. According to BLAST, Liquid were chosen over the other losing team of the second round of the LCQ, 
Team Spirit, due to their higher Neustadtl score.
In addition, PARIVISION's spot in the upper bracket semifinals will be given over to Group Stage third seed BetBoom.

The remaining six teams in the BLAST Slam VII Playoffs will be fighting for the lion's share of the tournament's US$1 million prize pool. The champions will walk away with the grand prize of US$400,000, split between US$300,000 for the players and US$100,000 for their organisation.
