Parivision defeated Team Falcons 3-0 in the Grand Final of BLAST Bounty Season 1 2026 to claim the organisation’s first Tier 1 trophy.

Parivision defeated Falcons 13-9, 13-11, 13-11 in three tight maps of Mirage, Dust 2 and Inferno.

The victory completed a remarkable run which saw the Russian roster defeat Ence, Astralis, Spirit, Furia, and Falcons to claim the trophy.

Jame leads Parivision young guns to glory

Dzhami ‘Jame’ Ali left Virtus.pro in January of 2025, seemingly bereft of confidence, IGLing in a way which seemed to be behind the meta.

At the time, many wondered whether the Rio 2022 Major winner would be seen again in Tier 1.

Now Jame is once again a Tier 1 event winner, leading Parivision to a historic height for the organisation, drastically reforming his signature philosophy to get there.

Jame’s roster showcased that new style against Falcons, exhibiting a far more proactive and aggressive style in the three-map victory.

Not only that, but we also saw Jame attempt and win several disadvantaged retakes throughout the event. Something which would have seemed impossible a year ago.

However, it is truly in the young stars that Jame leads that we see how they achieved the victory.

Emil ‘nota’ Moskvitin played a remarkable series, securing a 1.80 HLTV rating on Mirage. Dust 2 and Inferno were not much worse, with a 1.28 and 1.51 rating, respectively.

In their semi-final against Furia, when nota was relatively quiet, Vladislav ‘xiELO’ Lysov made up for it, with 1.51 and 1.16 ratings against the Brazilian org.

Against Spirit, Andrey ‘BELCHONOKK’ Yasinskiy delivered a significant impact to get Parivision over the line.

And Ivan ‘Zweih’ Gogin, while more spotty on LAN, secured Parivision their LAN berth, averaging 1.61 on the online stage.

The roster is full of young talent, enabling Jame to be bolder in his calls and precipitating their remarkable tournament victory.

For Jame, it’s a very different January from one year ago.

What do the BLAST Bounty results mean?

Let’s be honest. This isn’t the most important event in the Tier 1 calendar. Many Tier 1 pros were openly discussing the event as a ‘warm-up’ event.

That does not mean that we cannot glean information from the BLAST Bounty, but we should also temper that knowledge with that context.

That being said, there is no mitigation needed regarding the importance of the victory for Parivision.

The roster had spent the latter half of 2025 rapidly rising up the Tier 3, then Tier 2 rankings, resulting in a StarLadder Budapest Major berth.

A strong showing there meant qualification to this event, and victory here effectively means that Parivision are cemented in Tier 1.

Winning the $1,150,000 tournament skyrocketed the team to Number 4 in HLTV’s live version of the VRS rankings, guaranteeing the roster invites to all foreseeable Tier 1 events.

As for Falcons, one may point to all of the Grand Finals they have lost. The star-studded roster has lost five finals in a row since the addition of Ilya ‘m0NESY’ Osipov.

Yet, Falcons played the event with a stand-in player and a stand-in coach. In this event, their run to the Grand Final was itself an achievement, despite the huge expectations on the roster.

As for the other top teams attending the event, the picture is harder to parse. Vitality, Furia, and Spirit had their full-strength lineups at the LAN event, but were poor.

Whether that is early-season rust or something greater will be a topic better examined at IEM Kraków, where there will be no excuses and no mitigation.
