PARIVISION has won ESL One Raleigh 2025, defeating Team Spirit 3-1 in the grand finals. It’s an impressive feat against one of the best Dota 2 teams from Eastern Europe, but even more so because it’s one of Dota 2’s most storied veterans, Volodymyr “No[o]ne-” Minenko’s, latest successes, and a major win for 17-year-old prodigy, Alan “Satanic” Gallyamov.
Here’s how PARIVISION’s remarkable victory went down.

You’d be forgiven for being surprised that PARIVISION made it into the grand finals, let alone won ESL One Raleigh 2025. For context, PARIVISION lost the first round of Playoffs to Tundra Esports, dropping them down into lower bracket and one game away from elimination.
Yet, PARIVISION persevered through the lower bracket, defeating strong opponents, including Team Liquid, BetBoom Team, Tundra Esports and finally, Team Spirit.
Now, granted that this grand finals haven’t been the most ideal for Team Spirit and their carry Illya “Yatoro” Mulyarchuk. However, we still have to give props to PARIVISION’s line-up for showcasing world-class Dota 2 performance at ESL One Raleigh 2025.
Notably, the spotlight is on Alan “Satanic” Gallyamov, the hard carry of PARIVISION, who many have compared to Yatoro a few years ago. Satanic managed to play various heroes, regardless of his team’s draft, making him a versatile hard carry player. This phenomenal performance would not be viable without the rest of PARIVISION’s synergy, such as Andrey “Dukalis” Kuropatkin, whose role as Jakiro and Ringmaster hard support gave Satanic a great laning phase.
The other support duo of PARIVISION, Edgar “9Class” Naltakian, deserves some recognition as well, especially since tis felt like redemption for him since his stint with Tundra Esports. 9Class parted ways with Tundra Esports in reportedly bad terms, as fans accused him for being the weak link in Tundra that made them play poorly as a team.
We also can’t count Dmitry “DM” Dorokhin out, being one of the eldest players on PARIVISION, he’s always been very consistent himself. Not to ruin DM’s winning moment at ESL One Raleigh 2025, but his fail play as Brewmaster, where he wanted to kill his own Earth Panda before his Brewmaster ultimate expires, was a hysterical moment.

Last but not least, Volodymyr “No[o]ne-” Minenko gets the most attention as fans call it his second peak in his pro Dota 2 career. Many old-school fans of No[o]ne- will remember him for his prime days in Virtus.pro, when he once won five consecutive Dota 2 Majors.
That occurred during the 2017-2018 season, which is a long time ago. Hence, why many fans are excited to see No[o]ne- in his prime once more. His returning debut to greatness began in last year’s International 2024 (TI13), where he played for Cloud9 and won fifth place. For a team with zero presence before TI13, that’s a decent completion in No[o]ne-‘s book.
With this ESL One Raleigh 2025 victory, and one last year at ESL One Bangkok 2024 as well, PARIVISION keeps their title, and become two-time champions of the ESL One series.
