PARIVISION Are EWC 2026 Dota 2 Champions: Comeback 3-1 Win Over BetBoom After Losing Game One

PARIVISION are champions of the Esports World Cup 2026 Dota 2 tournament — they beat BetBoom Team 3-1 in the grand final after losing the opening game of the series. $750,000 out of a $2,000,000 prize pool, a second Tier 1 title of the season, and the frontrunner status for The International — the results of the tournament’s decisive day, which we covered in yesterday’s preview.

How the series played out: a rout after a game-one loss

BetBoom took the first game — MieRo put on a strong performance on Timbersaw to secure the win for his team. After that, according to tournament coverage, PARIVISION captain Puppey gave the team a talk between games — and the series flipped from that point on. PARIVISION won three games in a row to close out the match 3-1, leaving BetBoom no way back.

The decisive fourth game saw PARIVISION crush their opponents 29-7 on kills in 36 minutes. Satanic went 9/x/8 on Lifestealer, 9class posted 5/x/12 on Keeper of the Light, and No[o]ne racked up 6 kills and 15 assists on Pangolier. This wasn’t a holding pattern — it was total tempo domination from the opening minutes of the game.

Noticed named tournament MVP, $25,000 bonus

Across the entire EWC 2026, the tournament MVP award went to Noticed of PARIVISION — an additional $25,000 bonus on top of the team prize. BetBoom Team, despite the final loss, still take home $340,000 for second place.

A second Tier 1 title this season — and a claim on The International

This is already PARIVISION’s second Tier 1 trophy of the 2025-26 season — they took their first at DreamLeague Season 29 in May, sweeping Falcons 7-0 in maps on the way to that title. Meanwhile, neither Falcons nor defending champions Team Spirit — both pre-tournament favorites for EWC 2026 — made it to the final, both eliminated in the quarterfinals.

With this win, PARIVISION cement their status as the leading favorite heading into The International 2026 — the roster peaked exactly in the tournaments of the past month, and their performance in decisive matches (the comeback after a game-one loss, the blowout fourth game) shows the squad’s depth in a Bo5 format, the same format used at TI.
