IT PARIVISION 2025 team profile: a future-oriented team

PARIVISON will bring a breath of fresh air to The International 2025 scene: the perfect mix of rookies and veterans with the goal of conquering the Aegis.

They are a unique team that has already won the hearts of many and secured a place at the top of the Dota 2 standings this year. The team was created after last year's IT, and three former Cloud9 members were looking for a new place to call home. Vladimir "No[o]ne-" Minenko, Dmitry "DM" Dorokhin and coach Filipe "Astini" Ribeiro had just secured a place in the top six of TI 13 when, together with Edgar "9Class" Naltakian and Remko "Crystallis" Arets, they started a new game under the PARIVISION banner.

They immediately found common ground and finished 2024 by advancing from the group to the Grand Final of ESL One Bangkok 2024. It was the team's first major victory, but shortly after winning the trophy in Bangkok, they swapped Crystalis for a young prodigy.

Alan "Satanic" Galliamov has been the undisputed revelation of this season. He has been training with Yellow Submarine, a Team Spirit team, since the age of 14 and is set to replace Ilya "Yatoro" Mulyarchuk when he retires. Satanich already had the opportunity to race for Team Spirit last year, when Yatoro took a break from racing. After Yatoro's return, Satanicus was loaned to PARIVISION and is now ready to make his IT debut.

Satanicus and PARIVISION are now the main contenders for the Aegis and pose a real threat to Spirit, who will be looking to make history in Hamburg (Germany) by winning the IT for the third time.

Team PARIVISION

• Alan**"Satanic"** Galliamov.
• Vladimir**"No[o]ne-**" Minenko.
• Dmitry**"DM**" Dorokhin
• Edgar**"9Class**" Naltakian.
• Andrey**"Dukalis**" Kuropatkin.
• Coach: Filipe**"Astini**" Ribeiro

Fact: PARIVISION is the only team in The International 2025 with five players in the top 100 of the standings. Satanic is in 4th place and 9Class is in 19th. This says a lot about the strength of this team in terms of individual skills. But they also have someone who cares about their morale and teaches them discipline, respect and humility.

That person is Coach Astini, who plays several roles in the team. Dota coach, life coach, psychologist, friend, punching bag... He helps them solve, if not all their problems, at least most of them. Astini has a different structure and approach to training than his teammates. He talks openly about his decisions, the psychological factors that lead to certain results and even strategies, but wherever he goes, he gets results.

This year, he has two unique players to work with. Apart from Satanicus, who is already creating his own legacy despite his IT debut, Parivison has the most creative defense in professional soccer.

9Class rose to fame last year playing for Tundra Esports. He made a name for himself by playing atypical characters for his role, and did so successfully. You were supposed to make your TI debut last year, but you couldn't get a visa and had to watch the event from home.

What's your goal this time?

Already at the start of his Tundra career, 9Class showed that he prefers making strange decisions to playing meta. He was one of the first to put a centaur warrior in a soft support position, and if you're looking for someone to support Knightstalker, Clinch, Gyrocopter, Morphling or Ember Spirit in your games, you should look for 9Class to pick them in pro games from time to time. This year alone, the most used support in position 4 is Slark, with whom they have an 80% win percentage in 20 official games. However, in the last two tournaments, they have somewhat reduced their appetite for unconventional options, opting for heroes such as Ringmaster, Darkwillow and Batrider.

However, it seems that their approach is contagious, as their teammates have also started to consider the idea of including unconventional heroes in their selections. For example, DM has already played with Ogre Magi, Dazzle, Undying, Phoenix and even tried Venomancer in the jungle, while No[o]ne-, at this point in his career, can play with pretty much anything in the mid lane.

No[o]ne- is a veteran of the team who brings stability and makes all the chaos work. During Virtus.pro's heyday, No[o]ne was a flashy player, but now he's changed his image and is perhaps the most underrated player in the mid lane. He has done a lot of self-improvement work, as he has commented whenever asked, and is now experiencing a real renaissance in his career.

A renaissance so strong that it could finally give him what he's been chasing for a decade: the Aegis of Champions.
