PARIVISION Wins ESL One Raleigh 2025 Championship

PARIVISION defeated Team Spirit 3-1 in the grand finals of ESL One Raleigh 2025 on Monday, April 14, claiming their second tournament victory as an organization after ESL One Bangkok.

The team took home $290,000 from the $1 million prize pool, with $250,000 going directly to the players and $40,000 to the organization. Team Spirit received $165,000 as the runners-up.

Alan "Satanic" Gallyamov, who is currently on loan from Team Spirit to PARIVISION, played a key role in defeating his former teammates. His performance in the final game was particularly impressive, achieving a perfect score of 14 kills and 4 assists without dying.

PARIVISION started strong in the tournament, finishing the Group Stage with the best record of all teams at 9-1. Their only loss during this phase came from a 1-1 draw against Team Spirit, who finished as the second seed in Group A with an 8-2 record.

Despite their early success, PARIVISION hit a roadblock in the Playoffs when they lost 2-1 to Tundra Esports in the opening match. This defeat sent them to the lower bracket, where they had to fight their way back into contention.

PARIVISION's lower bracket journey included victories over Team Liquid and BetBoom Team. They then got revenge against Tundra Esports in the lower bracket finals to earn their spot in the championship round. This match peaked at around 319,492 online concurrent viewership, the highest of the event.

The grand finals began with a close first game that PARIVISION won after 37 minutes of play. They maintained their momentum in game 2, dominating Spirit with a 25-8 kill advantage in 36 minutes. Team Spirit managed to win the third game, but PARIVISION closed out the series in game four thanks to Satanic's masterful performance on Templar Assassin.
