Satanic on the second map against REKONIX at the Esports World Cup 2026: “I was the best Sven player in the world.”
In an interview at the Esports World Cup 2026, PARIVISION’s Alan “Satanic” Galliamov shared his thoughts on his current form, discussed how he’s changed since the start of his career, and assessed the skill level of his current team.
On whether he is the best player in the world
If we look at yesterday’s games, I don’t think I played Drow Ranger like the best player, but on Sven, I was the best player in the world.
On whether he’s worried he’ll get complacent after winning The International
I haven’t won TI yet. My career is just beginning, so I wouldn’t say that.
On the differences between life at the start of his career and now
When I was just starting out, I was playing at Tier 3, so I wasn’t traveling anywhere and had more free time. But in any case, I played a lot of Dota 2 because I just enjoy it. Now I just travel more. I think that’s the main difference.
On whether the current version of PARIVISION can beat its strongest form
I think, in terms of the ideas Puppey gives us, yes. But when it comes to the individual skill levels of the players, I’m not sure we could beat the prime PARIVISION lineup. But we’ll see—maybe we’ll beat them.
Earlier, PARIVISION carry Alan “Satanic” Gallyamov shared tips on playing Kez, explained how best to practice using the hero’s abilities, and broke down two build options—one using Manta Style and the other using Desolator with Aghanim’s Scepter.
