A battle of 16 teams with only one that ruled them all. The recently concluded DOTA 2 DreamLeague Season 26 tournament results hailed Eastern Europe’s PARIVISION as champions following their historic performance. This event brought spectacular Dota 2 action as the final event of the ESL Pro Tour’s third season, where teams competed for direct qualification to the Esports World Cup 2025.

The Champions: PARIVISION Claims Record-Breaking Victory

PARIVISION was simply unstoppable in their road to glory, and anyone will see why when looking at the DOTA 2 DreamLeague Season 26 results. The team dominated the competition with an incredible 31 wins out of 35 matches played, achieving a phenomenal win rate that left fans and analysts speechless.

They topped Group Stage 1 without dropping a single series. Then, they entered the Playoffs after achieving a clean, 7-0 record in Group Stage 2. They defeated BetBoom Team twice in the competition’s final stage– first with a 2-0 victory in the Upper Bracket Final, then with a commanding 3-0 sweep in the Grand Final. This extraordinary tournament run crowned them the undisputed champs of the tournament. They are now bound to compete next at the Esports World Cup 2025 in July.

Throughout the tournament, PARIVISION continuously proved how they are just better than everyone else. From their champion pools and drafting to their aggressive playstyles, they completely overwhelmed every opponent. The team doesn’t have any specific, signature “winning strategy” either. With 69 unique heroes picked, they displayed various tactics and teamwork that led to their success. Captain Volodymyr “No[o]ne-” Minenko and prodigy Alan “Satanic” Gallyamov were standout players to many, though, seen as the core players that contributed greatly to their victory.
