Satanic about a difficult opponent in the lane: “I would probably say Save-, because he diffs the “fives” easily”

PARIVISION players Alan 'Satanic' Gallyamov and Evgeniy 'Noticed' Ignatenko, as part of a Q&A session for the club Twitch channel, shared their impressions of the Esports World Cup 2026, rated a hero like Kez, and also told whom it was most difficult for them to line up against.

Noticed: In general, the tournament is just like a tournament. Of course, there are certain unique features in the form of the practicals that were in the hangar. It was unusual. And so, in general, everything is the same as it was at the tournaments. What is probably different is that the scenes are sort of mixed, that is, there are many disciplines. Valorant, League of Legends were playing with us at the same time, there was some Street Fighter, Mobile Legends. In short, a lot of disciplines played. These are probably the most key differences. And so - everything is the same, all the same setups.

Satanic: No, well, the Monicas weren’t the same.

Noticed: Well, yes, the monitors were a little different, but the computers were better, by the way, it seems. How can I say, I didn’t really feel much of a difference, but Dukalis said that there were other, better computers.

Noticed: I think Diman is very good at picking up the power spikes of his heroes. He has a small but refined pool of heroes. And, probably, well, what I saw, again, is that he is simply very good at communication, at conveying information.

Satanic: Well, yes, I agree with everything.

[ How did Alan fall in love with Kez so much and continue to beat everyone on it even after so many nerfs? ]

Satanic: At first he was buffed very much when the first spell was made so that the interval of his attacks was not cut. That is, he was generally a monster. He also broke towers in one second.

Then they removed this, nerfed his atax speed and the fact that taveras cannot be broken... I think the most important thing is that they buffed his ult, that he has a lot of pure damage, and Mage Slayer also attacks this hero. In fact, he was still an idiot all this time. But now people... In fact, at the last tournament he received a lower rate, because people began to find more good heroes for him. After Team Spirit, we realized that the hero is not so strong. But we still got banned like every time?

Noticed: Banned. I would say that even before Team Spirit we understood that the hero had become a little weaker.

Satanic: I just felt that this hero was strong, but after Team Spirit I understood.

Noticed: No, he is strong, but certain factors must come together for him. And these factors are not so easy to obtain in the current realities. Plus, again, yes, the hero was fixed, many people learned to play. This is not the same Kez who carried it out.

[Which players are the hardest for you to line up against? ]

Satanic : Zheka has the hardest time standing against Pure, obviously. And to me...

Noticed: There are two players. I can name two.

Satanic: Exactly the carry? Me and Pure?

Noticed: Well, yes.

Satanic: Who is the most difficult lane for me to play against? I would probably say Save- , because it diffs the “fives” easily. Oh, yes, and Ammar [ATF. — Approx. ed. ]. Save-, ATF, and that's it. They are simply more focused on the line as players.

Noticed: If I would like to see a hero in the meta, then probably the most basic hero is Mars in the offlane.

Satanic: I would like several heroes. Morphling, conditionally. Morphling, Faceless Void, Anti-Mage, probably. Well, Terrorblade should also become better.
