PARIVISION have won the Dota 2 tournament at the Esports World Cup 2026, defeating BetBoom Team 3-1 in the Grand Final to claim one of the biggest trophies of the season.
The victory concludes an impressive two-week run in Paris and earns PARIVISION the largest share of the tournament's $2 million prize pool, with $750,000 going to the champions.
For a team that entered EWC among the favorites, PARIVISION delivered when the pressure was highest.
PARIVISION were one of the strongest teams from the opening stage of the tournament.
They finished at the top of Group C after an almost flawless performance, dropping only a single map during the entire group stage. That result allowed them to bypass the Survival stage and move directly into the playoffs.
Their first knockout opponent was Rune Eaters, who were dispatched 2-0 in the quarter-finals.
Things became considerably more difficult against Team Yandex in the semi-finals. PARIVISION were forced into a full three-game series but eventually secured the 2-1 victory needed to reach the Grand Final.
Waiting for them was BetBoom Team.
BetBoom opened the Grand Final strongly and took the first game of the best-of-five series.
PARIVISION's response, however, changed the direction of the match.
The second game turned into a marathon lasting more than an hour, with PARIVISION eventually breaking through to level the series. They then took control in game three before finishing the job in the fourth.
The final score was 3-1.
With that, PARIVISION became the Dota 2 champions of EWC 2026.
The individual MVP award went to offlaner Evgeniy "Noticed" Ignatenko, completing an excellent tournament for both the player and his team.
The timing of the victory makes it particularly important.
The International 2026 is now rapidly approaching, and the world's strongest Dota teams are entering the final phase of preparation for the biggest tournament of the year.
Winning EWC against a field featuring BetBoom, Team Spirit, Team Falcons, Team Liquid, Vici Gaming and other established organizations immediately places PARIVISION among the teams to watch.
They already entered the tournament as serious contenders.
They leave Paris as champions.
And with The International next on the calendar, PARIVISION have sent the rest of professional Dota a very clear message.
