PARIVISION support player Andrei “Dukalis” Kuropatkin commented in an interview at The International 2026 on advancing to the playoffs of the year’s main tournament, spoke about Alan “Satanic” Gallamov’s form, and discussed the teams in the group stage of the championship.
I feel really good, but I think we still need to improve a few things. We’ve started playing better since the beginning of the tournament, but before that we were dealing with crazy jet lag and a very tough trip. But now, it seems to me, we’re getting better day by day
He’s young and very talented, and that’s half the reason why things are going this way. The other half is Puppey, because he’s teaching him a lot: how to play Dota 2, how to attack aggressively. They talk a lot. I think that’s why he’s also improved his form. And one more thing is the atmosphere we’re all trying to create. Sometimes it doesn’t work out; there are bad days.
I think the first match was really tough because of jet lag, and I think Team Resilience is a really good team—I’m looking forward to facing them in the playoffs. Team Falcons played well, too; in the third game against them, I messed up—I fed too much on the lane. To be honest, TR was very tough to beat.
We’re very grateful for the opportunity to play in front of a Chinese audience. And I wanted to apologize to you once again for what happened last year. I hope you’ll come to our matches—I’m truly sorry.
PARIVISION’s next match at The International 2026 will take place in the tournament’s playoffs, which begin on August 20 at the Shanghai East Sports Center. The team is competing in the tournament under the tag TEAM VISION.
