PARIVISION completed their ESL One Bangkok 2024 fairytale on Sunday with a 3-1 victory over The International 2024 champions, Team Liquid, in the grand final.
By claiming the trophy, the CIS Dota 2 outfit joined a short list of teams that will end the 2024 season with a Tier 1 trophy in their cabinet.
Despite entering ESL One Bangkok 2024 as one of the outsiders, priced at +1400 with the best Dota 2 betting sites, PARIVISION showed they meant business early on.

They topped Group B with wins against Team Liquid, Nigma Galaxy, Gazou, and beastcoast, as well as one draw against BetBoom Team.
Andrey “Dukalis” Kuropatkin and co. kept their wheels spinning in the playoffs, defeating AVULUS to secure a top-four finish.
Their streak nearly came to a stop in the upper-bracket final, where PARIVISION had to dig deep to reverse-sweep BetBoom Team and book their ticket to the decider.
Team Liquid had a longer road to the big stage after squeezing through Group B in fourth place.
However, they found momentum in the lower bracket of the playoffs, beating Shopify Rebellion, Team Falcons, Team Spirit, and BetBoom Team to reach the championship match.
After picking up the first map of the grand finals, Team Liquid dropped two closely contested games only to get run over on the fourth, with PARIVISION needing just south of 27 minutes to enter Liquid’s base.

With their first Tier 1 trophy in their pocket, PARIVISION now have two months to prepare for DreamLeague Season 25, which starts on February 16, 2025.
