PARIVISION Achieves Highest Glicko Rating Ever at DreamLeague 26
PARIVISION made a huge impression at DreamLeague Season 26, and it didn’t go unnoticed by Ben “Noxville” Steenhuisen.
As one of the most respected statsmen in Dota 2, Noxville ran the numbers and discovered that PARIVISION’s run at DreamLeague 26 earned them the third-highest Glicko-2 win rate ever in professional Dota 2 — an astonishing 88.57% win rate.
How the Data Was Measured
This ranking only includes tournaments where a team played more than 20 matches. The only two teams ahead of PARIVISION are LGD Gaming and Team Spirit. LGD achieved a 92.86% win rate at the Dota 2 Professional League (a regional Chinese tournament), while Team Spirit posted a 90.48% win rate during The International 2023.
The Glicko system, measures team strength based on both performance and consistency, now it officially recognizes PARIVISION as a top-performing team ever by this rating's standards — further solidifying their place as the current powerhouse heading into the Esports World Cup.
PARIVISION Technically in Second Place
If we apply another filter — excluding regional-only tournaments — PARIVISION jumps to second place for the highest international win rate in history. That makes them one of the top contenders heading into the upcoming Esports World Cup.
PARIVISION’s incredible run at DreamLeague Season 26 has propelled them to the highest Glicko rating ever recorded in Dota 2 history, reaching an impressive 2129.68. This achievement surpasses the previous record held by Tundra Esports, who peaked at 2103.81 on March 2, 2025.
To put this achievement into perspective, a fan asked how OG’s legendary 2019 TI run compared. Despite being the only team to win back-to-back Internationals, OG’s win rate that year was around 81%, which doesn’t even break the Top 10 on this list.
This data also makes Team Spirit’s win at TI 2023 even more impressive, considering they had to face elite teams from around the globe. In contrast, PARIVISION didn't face Team Spirit or Tundra Esports during DreamLeague Season 26, which adds context to their dominant stats.
Alliance Still Leaves a Mark
One surprising takeaway from the Glicko Rating rankings is that, prior to DreamLeague 26, Alliance still held the third-highest Glicko Rating ever. Their record came from their legendary 2013 TI run with the iconic [A] team getting an amazing 88.46% win rate.
Although they’re no longer a competitive force in the scene, Alliance continues to have a presence in high-level Dota 2. Not only does their historic run remain relevant statistically, but many of the current TI champion players met as a roster under the Alliance banner before eventually forming Team Liquid.
Alliance’s last attempt to re-enter pro Dota was at PGL Wallachia Season 2 in 2024. Their newly signed roster finished in 9th place, and shortly afterward, the team disbanded. Some of its players went on to join other rosters, including AVULUS.
Dota 2 is always evolving, and it’s fascinating to see how both new dynasties like PARIVISION and legends like Alliance continue to shape the game.
