Satanic: “I wanted to test Tinker as a carry, but they don’t even let us pick him up”

Carry PARIVISION Alan 'Satanic' Gallyamov, in an interview at The International 2026, spoke about his feelings at the tournament, his main opponent, and also compared the best players in his position and assessed the carry-ger meta.

Also. Of course, there were nerves that year. But I can’t say that there won’t be any this year. I think everything will be the same. [Have you worked on the psychological component? ] No, we just came to the bootcamp and trained for TI. This is all. We'll just do what we do and try to be even better.

I think skiter is playing better now. miCKe is good I think. Pure - random person. Watson, I think, is a stable, good player. Yatoro is playing better now. Kiritych, I think, will perform well.

Now I like Sven, Lifestealer, if you have to choose. I don't know, it's hard to say. There aren't many heroes right now that I like to play. [You didn't name ranged heroes]. They're not that good anymore. [Which heroes would you like to see boosted? ] Maybe some Faceless Void . Of course, I would like to see Morphling strengthened. And Terrorblade, I think, also deserves a more significant buff.

Probably Team Spirit. They are just usually good at such tournaments, they know how to win. They have a new captain and Miposhka is a new coach. He greatly increased the level of Team Spirit. I think this team can cause us a lot of problems. Let's see.

No. Puppey is just getting ready, that's all. We don't do anything. Everyone can come up with ideas, but not all of them work. We can even take something sometimes. I wanted to test Tinker as a carry, but they won’t even let us play him. I don't think you'll see him.

Everything is fine. He's a smart guy. Definitely made the team much stronger.

Of course that's my goal. But I want to win more and more so that I will be remembered as a very good player.

In the first round of the Swiss team at The International 2026, PARIVISION beat Team Resilience with a score of 2-1. In the second round the team plays Team Falcons.
