PARIVISION have claimed their second consecutive ESL One title, defeating Eastern European powerhouse Team Spirit 3-1 in the grand final of ESL One Raleigh 2025.
It’s a landmark moment for the rising Dota 2 organisation—and a poetic return to glory for veteran midlaner Volodymyr “No[o]ne-” Minenko, who now holds a record seven ESL One trophies to his name.
After dropping to the lower bracket in the first round with a loss to Tundra Esports, few expected PARIVISION to make it far—let alone lift the trophy.
Congratulations to @parivisiongg for their win here at #ESLOne Raleigh!
The EEU team returns home with $290,000!

But the team clawed their way back with a series of stellar wins over Team Liquid, BetBoom, and a revenge victory against Tundra Esports before toppling Team Spirit in a clinical grand final performance.
17-year-old prodigy Alan “Satanic” Gallyamov was the standout performer, delivering an MVP-worthy display across the event’s final day.
On loan from Team Spirit, Satanic showcased his versatility and poise under pressure, notably going 14/0/4 on Templar Assassin in the title-deciding match.
Across seven games on the final day, he twice ended without a single death and torched Tundra with a monstrous 17/2/9 showing in a 76-minute slugfest.
Satanic wasn’t alone in starring for PARIVISION.
Edgar “9Class” Naltakian delivered a redemption arc of his own after a rocky tenure at Tundra Esports.
Playing an unorthodox support Slark, 9Class denied enemy vision with surgical precision, using sentries and Gem purchases to set up countless ambushes.
His aggressive, disruptive play was key to PARIVISION’s map control and team fight dominance.
Offlaner Dmitry “DM” Dorokhin provided rock-solid performances throughout, even if his Brewmaster moment—where he hilariously attempted to snipe his own Earth Panda—provided some comic relief in an otherwise flawless run.
Meanwhile, support stalwart Andrey “Dukalis” Kuropatkin anchored the laning phase with dependable picks like Jakiro and Ringmaster, enabling Satanic’s explosive mid-to-late game transitions.
And then there’s No[o]ne-.
Once the star of Virtus.pro’s five-major era, the 27-year-old is experiencing a second peak.
His leadership, playmaking, and sheer experience were vital to PARIVISION’s run—and his record-setting seventh ESL One trophy, bringing his total prize earnings from the series alone to nearly US$3 million, speaks volumes about his enduring legacy.
Adding to the magic is the man behind the curtain—coach Filipe “Astini” Astini.
In a heartwarming post-victory moment, Astini revealed his own MMR journey, telling fans he once sat stuck at 3K and now hovers around 5.8K.
“If I can do it, anyone can,” he said, offering a dose of inspiration to players worldwide.
PARIVISION’s victory earns them $250,000 and 7,040 EPT points, catapulting them to the top of the global rankings and booking their ticket to the upcoming Esports World Cup in Riyadh.
With the highest average MMR roster in Dota 2 history and two ESL One titles back-to-back, they arrive as the undisputed team to beat.
