No[o]ne: For me Aegis was a dream, now that has changed

The leader of the PARIVISION Dota 2 roster, Vladimir No[o]ne Minenko, discussed the importance of The International 2026 for his career. The moment ended up in a club vlog.

When I was 15, I saw how NAVI won Int, and then I told myself that I want to be a professional eSports player, I want to compete in major tournaments, win them, earn big money, being a successful player. Every such player has a dream - to win "Int". Previously, it was generally a superhype, when everything started with $1.6 million and grew to $40 million, there was only growth. Now "Int" has its own magic, 100%. You will write yourself down forever that you did this. For me, Aegis was a dream, but now that has changed. Of course, I really want to win it, but my priorities in life, goals and dreams have changed. For me, “Int” is rather a consequence, because now for me the game is more than “Int”. Playing Dota, being with a cool team, having a great time and spending your life this way is cooler than just winning INT. But "Int" is also cool.

Previously, PARIVISION passed the group stage of The International 2026 without defeat. In the first playoff match, Team No[o]ne will compete with BETBOOM Team. The match is scheduled for August 20, 8:00 Moscow time.

The International 2026 takes place from August 13 to 23 in Shanghai, China. 16 teams are competing for at least $3.1 million - the prize pool continues to grow through sales of club and caster support packs.
