A Crazy PARIVISION Run From Sixth Seed to CS2 Champions
Jame’s PARIVISION made a quick work out of Falcons in the Grand Final, even though many thought they will be underdogs against superstars like m0nesy and NiKo. PV showed a few flashes of their potential at Budapest Starladder Major. So it’s not just out of the blue. HLTV Page
Either way PARIVISION was only the sixth seed in the playoffs, having claw against three tough opponents: Spirit, FURIA and Falcons. A run that we didn’t even fully believe in even though we bet on them before the tournament.
Stand-in Pressure Shows for Falcons
Despite 17yo NucleonZ saying that he no longer feels pressure, the outcome was similar to what we expected. It’s hard to win with a new stand-in. Now, he already had a pressure to achieve something in the Final. And he had only this chance in the main team. His quiet afternoon in the server with 0.64 HLTV Rating was one factor why Falcons never got close to winning the match.
m0NESY Struggles Against Jame-time
Falcons needed a lot of heavylifting from their superstar AWPer m0nesy. “They played very strongly. Today I played against one of the most unpleasant styles of play. It’s my responsibility. I should have done more… Next time will be different.” — from his post-match Telegram statement. M0nesy only got 0.89 rating across all three maps, which is a really low number for a carry sniper player like Ilya.
Jame, the Mastermind Once Again
It was the Jame who was the mastermind behind all. This was not the first time that Jame had an amazing run. Previously at Outsiders (Virtus Pro) nobody expected anything out of the, but the same slow and pragmatic playstyle gave a championship again for the legendary, one of the kind AWPer. The biggest highlight of the match was a crucial 1vs3 AWP clutch from Jame in the first map. After lifting the title, Jame made an emotional statement of the hard work he’s done behind the scenes: “Last year I sacrificed everything. Literally my entire life — one year. But when you win, it feels like nothing compared to what you gave.”
Even ropz recognized Jame’s big performance and achievement.
nota and zweih Seal a Fairytale Finish
What makes the achievement even more storylike is the zweih’s victory in his debut with only a little time to prepare with the team. Zweih was the leading the whole team with nota. nota was the standout player of the final, posting huge numbers. 1.50 rating, 92.0 ADR, 81.4% KAST, and +5.49% round swing. He was anchoring crucial rounds and leading his team in impact.
Close Maps, Cold-Blooded Execution
All the three maps were quite close, but that only speaks volumes of the PARIVISION’s resilience in a tough spot against a beast of a team. 9-13, 11-13 and 11-13 were the final numbers on the scoreboard.
