Zeus Says PARIVISION Can Be a Major Contender if They Keep Improving

At PGL Cluj-Napoca 2026, where Team Vitality claimed the championship, veteran CS2 strategist Danylo “Zeus” Teslenko praised PARIVISION’s rise — even in defeat — as a sign they could soon compete for the sport’s biggest prizes.

Zeus commented on the tournament and PARIVISION’s trajectory, emphasizing that hard work, team preparation, communication, and adaptation — not just star power — are what win at the highest level. He noted that PARIVISION looked well-prepared and technically capable, even in losses, and suggested that with another 3–6 months of consistent improvement, they could realistically challenge for a Major title later this year.
