In a stunning start to the 2026 CS2 competitive season, PARIVISION captured the BLAST Bounty Season 1 Finals trophy in Malta with a commanding 3-0 sweep over Falcons. This victory isn’t just another title; it marks the Russian squad’s first big trophy and cements their transformation from underdogs to serious contenders.
Few expected PARIVISION to make it this far. Their recent addition of Ivan “zweih” Gogin, following his release from Spirit, added depth but did not ensure success. By dropping only one map across the best-of-five series, they demonstrated consistency, improved chemistry, and tactical discipline.
Throughout the weekend in Malta, PARIVISION remained composed under pressure and executed with precision, sweeping their opponents. The following map recap outlines how they secured the trophy.
