PARIVISION enter the NarodCast PREMIER SERIES Grand Final without having dropped a single series across the entire playoff run. Their path through the bracket has been one of the cleaner upper bracket performances from any team in recent Tier 2 competition.
The PREMIER SERIES is a new Tier 2 online tournament organized by Narodnyy Kast studio and backed by BetBoom, carrying a $100,000 prize pool spread across teams from Europe and the CIS. The event began with a Play-In phase running March 16 through 30, where twelve teams competed across two round-robin groups on patch 7.40c through 7.41a. The top three finishers in each group advanced to the main event, producing six Play-In qualifiers: L1ga Team, Yellow Submarine, Zero Tenacity, Power Rangers, VP.Prodigy, and Pipsqueak+4.

Three teams, PARIVISION, HEROIC, and MOUZ, were directly seeded into the playoff stage, bypassing the group stage entirely. The remaining eight teams competed in two group stage groups from April 1 through 7 on patch 7.41a and 7.41b, with group stage play producing the full eight-team playoff field alongside the three direct playoff invites.

The double-elimination bracket opened on April 8 with four upper bracket first-round series. PARIVISION opened their run with a 2-0 sweep of GamerLegion. MOUZ beat HEROIC to advance on their side of the bracket. Nigma Galaxy defeated Team Spirit 2-1 in a series where batyuk served as stand-in for Collapse, who was unavailable for the event. L1ga Team completed the round with a 2-1 win over Team Liquid, sending m1CKe, Nisha, and company straight into the lower bracket.
The upper bracket final on April 10 brought PARIVISION and MOUZ together for the first time at this tournament. PARIVISION won 2-0, claiming a Grand Final spot and pushing MOUZ into the lower bracket.

In the lower bracket, GamerLegion beat Team Spirit in round one while Team Liquid eliminated Heroic. Both Spirit and Heroic exit the tournament at 7th-8th. GamerLegion then fell to Nigma Galaxy in the lower bracket semifinal, and MOUZ took care of L1ga Team, sending L1ga and Liquid out at 5th-6th. Today's lower bracket final pit MOUZ against Nigma Galaxy, with the winner earning the right to face PARIVISION in the Grand Final.

PARIVISION are the only team in the PREMIER SERIES playoff bracket who have not lost a single map. Coached by Dota 2 legend Puppey, the squad is built around the carry output of Satanic and the mid-lane control of No[o]ne, with clean rotations and disciplined macro play defining both of their playoff performances. Their 2-0 win over GamerLegion and their 2-0 upper bracket final result against MOUZ were both efficient rather than flashy, the mark of a team that understands exactly how much pressure to apply and when to close.
