On the other hand, Team Falcons overpowered Team Liquid (2-0) during the quarterfinals and Team Vitality (2-1) in the semifinals. Despite missing players like kyousuke and coach zonic, the Falcons were deemed likely victors following their post-major break performance.

Statistics showed close competition between the teams, with both being neck and neck in the percentage of pistol rounds won. However, PARIVISION lead in terms of map win-loss rate since January 2025, even though Falcons boasted a higher top player rating.

Details of the Grand Final Match

In the grand final, PARIVISION swept the floor with a remarkable LAN performance, outmaneuvering Falcons using focused discipline, utility, and structure. Specifically, PARIVISION’s control of mid and punishment of aggression on Mirage (13-9), robust CT setups, and flawless execution on Dust2 (13-11) paid off. Despite an early rally by Falcons on Inferno (13-11), their late-round downfall sealed PARIVISION’s win. Player Emil “notA” Moskvitin of PARIVISION was noted as the player of the match, boasting a 1.50 rating, 92.0 ADR, 81.4% KAST, and +5.49% swing across maps.

Aftermath of the Tournament

The victory earned PARIVISION their first significant LAN title, propelling them from a tier-two status in 2025 to a prominent contender. Despite showcasing individual player strength, Falcons’ -18 VRS drop following their loss at the finals posed questions regarding their adaptability. The tournament underscored PARIVISION’s cool-headedness, triumphing over Falcons’ individual prowess.
