No[o]ne commented on PARIVISION’s victory in the qualifiers for The International 2026

Vladimir “No[o]ne” Minenko believes that PARIVISION entered the qualifiers for The International 2026 in top form following their victory at DreamLeague 29 in Dota 2.

The player made this statement on Twitch.

“I don’t think we prepared specifically for the qualifiers. It seems to me that we were already in good form after winning DreamLeague 29, and then we played the online portion of BLAST. It’s a shame we weren’t able to compete in the LAN stage, but I think the team was already sufficiently prepared. We just went to boot camp four days before the qualifiers and practiced a bit—that’s all.”

The player also expressed regret that PARIVISION was unable to play in the LAN stage of the last BLAST Slam, explaining that they needed to gather for boot camp before the qualifiers.

According to Vladimir “No[o]ne” Minenko, the team approached The International this year with better preparation than they had for last year’s TI.

“We’re a completely different team now: we have a different coach and a different player. We had a psychologist at the beginning of the year, but in the end, I think that experience wasn’t very successful for us. So I’d say that we’ll definitely be better prepared mentally this time around. But ultimately, we just need to play well.”

As a reminder, Vladimir “No[o]ne” Minenko previously commented on PARIVISION not receiving an invitation to The International 2026.
