From Dark Horses to Victors
PARIVISION succeeded in one of the most unlikely runs of the early 2026 CS2 season by sweeping Falcons 3–0. They lift the trophy in BLAST Bounty Season 1 Finals in Malta.The Russian side’s march to the trophy was one of the tournament’s biggest storylines and shockers.
But we could see it from afar. While they flew under the public's radar, PARIVISION was our dark horse outright pick before the event started. We knew that there might be some upsets coming in the first ”bigger” tournament of the year. Even though this was an important Tier-1 CS2 tournament, BLAST Bounty is not the main goal for the greatest teams. They are saving their playbooks for later.
Pre-Tournament Odds & PARIVISION Outright Pick
Pre‑tournament odds markets priced PARIVISION as long shots at roughly 41.00 (+4000) to lift the title, implying only a ~2.4 % chance of victory. But believed in it and placed bets on it, like we wrote in our earlier article BLAST Bounty 2026 Finals: Teams, Rankings & CS Betting Predictions. Those early odds reflected public’s skepticism about PARIVISION’s potential on LAN, but the squad quickly proved that expectation wrong.
