BELCHONOKK: “Dastan Puts More Pressure on Us Than the Major” — PARIVISION’s Miracle Run Continues

PARIVISION rifler Andrey “BELCHONOKK” Yasinskiy says head coach Dastan “dastan” Akbayev is the driving force behind the team’s unexpected success at the StarLadder Budapest Major 2025, claiming the coach “puts more pressure on us than the Major itself.” The comment came after PARIVISION qualified for Stage 3 (top-16) in what is widely seen as one of the event’s biggest upsets.

From 0–1 to Top-16: PARIVISION’s Surprise Major Run

Starting in Stage 1 and barely surviving elimination, PARIVISION stunned the field in Stage 2 with a 3–1 record, including:

• A 13–3 stomp over Team Liquid

• A tight 13–11 win vs Aurora

• A dramatic 2–0 overtime victory against Ninjas in Pyjamas, securing their Stage-3 spot

The result is remarkable for a lineup featuring four Major rookies guided by veteran IGL Dzhami “Jame” Ali.

BELCHONOKK: “My teammates carried me”

Despite delivering crucial impact rounds throughout the event, BELCHONOKK remained humble:
“I think I played badly, but my teammates carried me… It’s my first Major; everything is new.”

He added that PARIVISION entered Budapest with real ambition:
“We expected a playoff before the Major. We know we can qualify.”

Jame and dastan: Building a disciplined system

BELCHONOKK credited the team’s structure to the Jame–dastan leadership duo:
“They are just two bosses. They control everything — discipline, hard work. They built a strong system.”

Earlier in the event, Jame described the team’s run with “four rookies” as “a miracle happening in front of your eyes.”
Analysts on-site echoed that sentiment, pointing to PARIVISION as one of the tournament’s biggest surprises.

A Dangerous Underdog Heading Into Stage 3

PARIVISION now enter the top-16 stage as a rising contender capable of punishing unprepared teams — a fact highlighted by their dominant showing against Liquid and their resilience in overtime battles.

With:

• dastan’s intense preparation,

• Jame’s calm, structured calling, and

• rookies delivering on the big stage,

PARIVISION remain one of the major storylines of the Budapest Major and a legitimate playoff dark horse.
