Parivision Claim Back-to-Back EPT Titles with DreamLeague Season 26 Victory
DreamLeague Season 26 has wrapped up, and PARIVISION adds another trophy to their growing collection. After several days of intense playoff matches, we now have the final standings. BetBoom Team secured the runner-up position, while Talon Esports claimed a crucial third-place finish for Southeast Asia.
With only the Esports World Cup remaining in the ESL Pro Tour calendar, the focus now shifts to the upcoming qualifiers for teams that haven’t received direct invites. Before that, let’s recap the playoff action and see how the prize pool was distributed.
Flipster Talon Esports Makes Waves
Southeast Asia has long been considered an up-and-coming region but has rarely cracked the Top 3 in major tournaments. This time, things were different. Flipster Talon Esports had their chance to shine in the lower bracket against Aurora Gaming.
After a grueling first map that lasted over an hour, Talon swept the series 2-0. The result was surprising, especially given Aurora’s reputation as a strong team, with TI-winning veterans in the roster. Aurora exits the tournament with $60,000 in prize money, 3,800 EPT Points, and a $20,000 Club Reward.
Later that day, PARIVISION faced BetBoom Team in the upper bracket final. Despite BetBoom’s status as one of the top professional teams in 2025, PARIVISION handled the series with confidence. No[o]ne- and the team breezed through two maps — each around 30 minutes — and secured their spot in the Grand Finals.
BetBoom dropped to the lower bracket final, where they faced Flipster Talon Esports on June 1st. Unfortunately for Talon, every team has its day, and this time it was BetBoom’s turn to go ahead after winning 2-1. Talon still secured a well-earned third place, along with $80,000 in prize money, 4,150 EPT Points, and a $25,000 Club Reward.
PARIVISION Showdown: The Grand Finals
Once again, PARIVISION reached the Grand Finals of an ESL tournament, this time facing BetBoom Team. In their previous Grand Final appearance at ESL One Raleigh, they triumphed over Team Spirit. Now, they were one series away from another title.
The opening map lasted just about 30 minutes, with PARIVISION taking a dominant 1-0 lead. The second game stretched a bit longer but ended with a similar result: 2-0. PARIVISION entered the third map with momentum and confidence.
The final game lasted 47 minutes and 46 seconds. PARIVISION sealed the 3-0 sweep to become the DreamLeague Season 26 champions. BetBoom Team walks away with $100,000, 5,150 EPT Points, and a $30,000 Club Reward for their second-place finish.
As champions, PARIVISION claims the biggest share of the prize pool: $250,000, 7,200 EPT Points, and a $40,000 Club Reward.
With DreamLeague now concluded, all eyes turn to the Esports World Cup and The International qualifiers in early June. The next Tier 1 event is PGL Wallachia Season 5, scheduled to begin on June 21st.
