PARIVISION beat Natus Vincere 2-1 in the ESL Pro League, winning Cache and Mirage after losing Inferno to secure a place in the playoffs.

PARIVISION defeated Natus Vincere 2-1 to reach the ESL Pro League playoffs. They won Cache 13-10 and Mirage 13-11 after losing Inferno 13-8.

NAVI started strongly on Inferno. They won an early force-buy battle on the CT side and controlled the map from there. PARIVISION reached several buy rounds, but Mihai “iM” Ivan produced multiple kills to stop their attacks. NAVI took the opening map 13-8.

PARIVISION built an early lead on the CT side of Cache. Evgenii “FL1T” Lebedev found openings around Middle, while Vladislav “xiELO” Lysov helped control the A site. NAVI won a force-buy round after changing sides and briefly read PARIVISION’s attacks well.

NAVI then lost rounds against weaker buys, allowing PARIVISION to regain control. PARIVISION used the opening to close the map 13-10 and level the series.

PARIVISION took a 5-0 lead at the start of Mirage with a fast-paced T-side attack. NAVI responded after a four-kill round from iM, but they then lost another round against a weak buy. PARIVISION led 8-4 at halftime.

NAVI won the second-half pistol and brought the score level on their T side. The teams exchanged rounds late in the map. Ihor “w0nderful” Zhdanov recorded four kills in one round, and PARIVISION answered by stacking the A site successfully.

Dzhami “Jame” Ali completed a last-second defuse to give PARIVISION a 13-11 win on Mirage and the series victory.

The result is PARIVISION’s first win over NAVI with their current core. It also gives Abay “HObbit” Khassenov a playoff appearance at his first event since joining the team as a permanent member.
