Puppey praises the Pure team

PARIVISION Dota 2 coach Clement Puppey Ivanov shared his opinion about the participants of the Esports World Cup 2026. The mentor identified teams that were similar in gameplay to his team. Ivanov shared his thoughts in the club’s YouTube vlog.

I would say that all teams are trying to play very well. Sometimes it looks like they are still doing the same thing, but there are some teams that play completely differently. It could be because of the region, maybe they play differently because they have that playstyle all the time. Team Liquid play differently, but we, Aurora, Team Yandex and 1w Team play the same Dota. Therefore, maybe we will win now, but if our style is nerfed, then other teams will start winning. 1w Team is the best team. Maybe she won't win this tournament. But when we arrived at the tournament and played KV, they showed a very strong Dota. They came up with a lot of the things we see now: Dark Seer, Earth Spirit. With these things they showed us how strong they are. We knew these heroes were strong, but we didn't know they were that good. Maybe it's a failure that they did it, but we learned, let's say. And it helped.

1w Team took 9-12th place at the championship. In the play-offs of the Esports World Cup 2026, the roster lost to Vici Gaming.

On July 18 at 17:30 Moscow time, PARIVISION will play against Team Yandex in the semi-finals of the tournament. The strongest team will advance to the finals of the Esports World Cup 2026. The prize fund of the competition is $2 million. You can follow the progress of the championship in the report.
