No[o]ne on choosing strategies in PARIVISION: “We are all Puppey puppets”

PARIVISION mid-man Vladimir ' No[o]ne ' Minenko, in an interview at the Esports World Cup 2026, spoke about the match with Team Spirit, the coach's contribution to the development of the team and the choice of strategies, and also shared his opinion about the strength level of the tournament participants.

We didn't see the full picture, and he showed it to us. Previously, Dukalis and I were captains, giving instructions on the game. When Puppey came, we understood why something is good and why something shouldn’t be done.

Sometimes Valve kills his heroes with patches, but does not introduce new ones. Besides, the meta is fast now, he can’t play these slow heroes.

Now I'm upset because I wanted to play on Largo, but we lost two lines so much that it was impossible to play Dota.

It's all Puppey's job, he decides what to do. We are all Puppey puppets.

To be honest, I think we had the weakest group of all. Team Spirit was the first real rival, at least in my opinion. The main series will be in the playoffs.

I think every one of the top 8 teams can win this tournament, to be honest. Each one that will make it to the playoffs. There is no one. It all depends on the day, the draft, the players’ well-being. Team Yandex can win, Team Falcons, we, Team Spirit, as far as I know. I'm sure the guys will pass too. 1win Team is also very strong.

PARIVISION played to a draw with Team Spirit in the group stage of the 2026 Esports World Cup. Before this, the team won four matches. PARIVISION finished in 1st place in Group C and advanced directly to the playoffs, bypassing the Survival stage.
