PARIVISION Are The Champions of ESL One Raleigh
ESL One Raleigh is over and Parivision have emerged victorious. The team take home a quarter million dollars in prize money, along with 7,040 EPT. Winning the trophy places Parivision at the top of the EPT table, guaranteeing their sport at the upcoming Esports World Cup.
Parivision had to win two series in the final day but thanks to their unorthodox picks, star carry player, and overall performance, take their second ESL One trophy in a row.
Satanic shines on the last day of ESL One Raleigh
It's hard to single out any one player on Parivision for their performance. The team has the highest MMR average lineup in Dota 2 history. Each member is mechanically gifted and their teamwork is a joy to watch.
Still, if we had to pick one MVP on the last day, it was Alan "Satanic" Gallyamov. On loan from Team Spirit (perhaps a move they regret now), Satanic had a steller day. In the seven games they played, he had no deaths in two of them, including a 14/0/4 Templar Assassin in the last match. Templar was his weapon of choice, with three wins in the last day. Tundra felt the brunt of it. In their 76-minute game, Satanic went 17/2/9.
Another player who impressed throughout the whole day was Edgar "9Class" Naltakian. He showcased a new hero in the support role. Using Slark, 9Class ensured enemies had no vision, placing sentries and purchasing a gem to ensure his team always surprised their opponents.
After winning the series, Parivision had a post-game interview thanking the crowd and sharing their moment with the world. One of the members of Parivision also shared a tidbit that is sure to inspire all Dota 2 players.
When the coach of the team, Filipe "Astini" Astini, was asked his MMR, he gave a surprising answer, "5.8K. I was stuck at 3k for a long time before." So if you're 5.8K and above, you too can start your own Major winning team.
Another notable achievement for the team is they now hold the player with the most ESL One trophies. Volodymyr "No[o]ne-" Minenko has won seven (holy moly) trophies from ESL One Majors. That's 2.95 Million USD prize pool just from those seven victories.
With incredible accolades behind them and the top spot in EPT points, Parivision are heading to Riyadh as the strongest team to beat. Good luck to all others who end up in the same group.
