Degster: Jame and dastan built a machine as PARIVISION reach Major Stage 3

On 24 November 2025, degster posted a message via his Telegram channel congratulating PARIVISION on their successful progression into Stage 3 of the Budapest Major. In his comments, he singled out the organisation’s leadership duo — captain/trainer Ali “Jame” Dzhami and coach Dastan “dastan” Akbaev — saying: “Jame + dastan created a machine.” He added that the young squad “already gave the region a lot of positive emotions.” 

PARIVISION’s breakthrough and degster’s praise

PARIVISION, a CIS-region team, earned their way into Stage 3 of the Major — meaning they survived the highly competitive Swiss-format Stage 2 and broke into the top 16 of the tournament. This progression was noted by degster as a remarkable achievement given the timeline and setup of the roster. 

He emphasised that Jame and dastan constructed an entirely new system for their squad, which according to degster was both systematic and effective:

“Jame and dastan built a new system and dragged the team to the Major – a huge achievement.” 

This praise holds weight because degster himself is a highly respected AWPer and analyst within the CS2 scene; his acknowledgement lends credibility to PARIVISION’s rise.

The team background and path to Stage 3

According to Liquipedia, PARIVISION operates in the CIS region, with Jame as in-game leader and dastan as coach. The squad’s recent results showed that they had overcome significant hurdles to reach this level — including the need to secure regional points and navigate new systems under Valve’s ranking updates. As degster pointed out in his post:

“I remember how the guys got into a tough situation because of the new system – they simply lacked Valve points, had to fly to minor LANs just to collect points.” 

In the actual bracket of the Budapest Major, PARIVISION defeated Ninjas in Pyjamas (NiP) 2-0 — with map scores of Dust 2 19-16 and Train 16-12 — to secure advancement.  This result underscored not just their advancement, but a level of competitiveness and mental strength in LAN conditions.

What degster’s comments indicate

Degster’s metaphor of a “machine” speaks to more than just a catchy line. It implies that PARIVISION are operating with consistency, coordination, and structural integrity — rather than relying solely on individual talent or random peaks. By attributing that to Jame and dastan’s leadership, he highlights the strategic and organisational foundation behind the performance.

His reference to “the region” suggests that PARIVISION’s success resonates beyond just the team itself: they represent a growing competitive corridor within CIS/CEE CS2 where young teams are maturing, innovating and challenging established names.

Why the narrative matters

• Underdog trajectory: PARIVISION’s journey to this Major stage is not the standard blueprint of an elite team entering with heavy favourites status. Instead, they rose through constraints, a newer core, and were positioned as outsiders. Degster’s recognition flips that narrative — from underdog to contender.

• Leadership and structure: In many pro-CS2 discussions, emphasis is placed on star fraggers and org budgets. Degster’s praise of Jame and dastan draws attention to team culture, leadership, systems and coaching — intangible factors increasingly cited in elite performance research.

• Regional growth: The CIS region has produced major-winning talent and organisations in the past (e.g., Virtus.pro, NAVI). PARIVISION’s ascent signals that the ecosystem remains fertile, and new names are breaking through.

• Momentum into Stage 3: Having secured Stage 3, PARIVISION will face stronger opponents and high-stakes matches. Degster’s comments set expectations: the team must now validate whether the “machine” holds up under pressure.

Challenges and what lies ahead

While PARIVISION’s run is promising, the road forward will test them:

• Stage 3 of the Major features best-of-three matches and fewer margins for error. As a relatively younger roster, PARIVISION must demonstrate adaptability, depth and consistency.

• Maintaining “machine-like” consistency requires more than one event. Sustained performance across multiple tournaments will determine their long-term trajectory.

• The leadership duo (Jame & dastan) will need to stay ahead of evolving meta shifts and opponent strategies — international teams often target rising squads with specialised prep.

Final thoughts

Degster’s endorsement may at first glance read like a simple compliment, but in context it signals a major tipping point for PARIVISION. He recognised that Jame and dastan didn’t just coach or captain — they architected a winning formula. In his words, “they literally built a machine” — a metaphor for a team system built for results, not just for flash.

For fans and analysts of CS2, this storyline offers a rich case study in how new teams emerge: through organisational clarity, strong leadership and the right mindset. PARIVISION’s Stage 3 berth isn’t just a one-off result. It may well be the beginning of a longer run — and degster’s spotlight invites scrutiny, but also hope.

If PARIVISION sustain this pathway, other regional squads will likewise believe that older models of success can be challenged. And for Jame, dastan, and the players, the machine is now in motion — the question is how far it will carry them.
