The Serbian organization PARIVISION has successfully debuted at the IEM Kraków 2026 tournament for Counter-Strike 2. In the opening match of the Play-In stage, the team secured a victory over the Norwegian club HEROIC with a 2:1 map score.

Series Progression

The confrontation turned out to be a mirror image — all three maps ended with the same score of 13:6, but in favor of different sides:

Inferno (HEROIC's pick): PARIVISION confidently took their opponent's choice, winning the first half 9:3 and closing it out — 13:6.
Dust2 (PARIVISION's pick): The Norwegians responded in kind on their opponent's pick, also closing the map with a score of 13:6.

Match Heroes

The best player of the match was PARIVISION rifler Emil "nota" Moskvitin, who finished the series with a 1.37 rating and 90.7 ADR. The team's sniper, Jame "Jame" Ali, also showed excellent form, securing the most frags on the server (50) and achieving a 1.32 rating.

In the HEROIC lineup, the only player with positive statistics was Yasin "xfl0ud" Koc with a 1.24 rating.

Rookie's Struggles

Despite the team's success, the match was a tough one for Ivan "zweih" Gogin. The PARIVISION rifler finished the series at the bottom of the scoreboard with a 0.68 rating and a 28-47 K/D. Perhaps the reason was travel issues — the player spent a full 30 hours stuck at the airport.
