Captain of the PARIVISION CS2 roster, Jame Ali, shared his thoughts on his team's performance at the PGL Astana 2026 LAN tournament in an interview with HLTV.
In fact, we gave ourselves time to rest. Most of the PARIVISION players didn't sit at their computers for five or six days, some went through medical checks and addressed some health issues. And for 15 days we played and analyzed maps, so I think it was a good, productive bootcamp. We tried to approach PGL Astana 2026 in the best shape, but, as usual, we might have overexerted ourselves earlier, so it's unclear why we played the way we did and didn't show what we're capable of.
On May 12, 2026, PARIVISION lost to G2 Esports in the group stage of PGL Astana 2026. The match ended with a score of 1:2 (5:13 on Mirage, 13:11 on Dust2, and 16:12 on Ancient). Due to this defeat, the team exited the championship.
For PARIVISION, this is just the first season. Honestly, you shouldn't expect anything from us. All the pressure we feel, we create ourselves due to past results. But in reality, we have the potential for growth; we have a lot of work ahead. It's not an easy path when you join a team and immediately become its leader. It takes years to find yourself in this game and in this team, to understand why you play, whether you like it or not. For us, all of this is new. And, as is often the case, we were prepared for the decline to happen sooner than we expected. Right now, all teams are experiencing a decline except for one, so we are not shocked or horrified by our poor results.
Earlier, it became known that Team Spirit player Danil donk Kryshkovets showed the best individual statistics at the end of the group stage of PGL Astana 2026.
