PARIVISION Shock Xtreme Gaming to Advance at The International 2025

A major upset took place at The International 2025 as PARIVISION defeated the heavily favored Xtreme Gaming in the upper bracket.

Coming into the series, Xtreme looked unstoppable—they hadn’t dropped a single map during the group stage. PARIVISION, on the other hand, had a shakier path, navigating through the Elimination Stage with mixed results. Analysts had expected Xtreme to dominate, particularly in drafting and early game tempo, but the outcome told a different story.

On the first map, PARIVISION took complete control from the start, quickly building a substantial lead. The final score of 9-3 reflected their dominance: smart hero picks, aggressive lane pressure, and control over key objectives left Xtreme with almost no room for a comeback.

The second map was more contested. Xtreme fought hard, creating tense moments and trying to find openings, but PARIVISION remained composed and kept the lead. Their 21-17 victory was the result of well-executed team fights, precise map control, and key decisions around Roshan.
