Satanic on the Match Against Team Spirit at TI15: "We'll See Who's Stronger"

Carry player PARIVISION Alan "Satanic" Gallyamov commented on his performance at The International 2026 in Dota 2 following their victory over BETBOOM Team in the upper bracket quarterfinals. In the post-match interview on the official broadcast, he noted that the team plays a lot through him, and before the match against Team Spirit , he gave a brief comment about the upcoming opponent.

First, Satanic explained why he is showing some of the best individual results among carry players in the tournament. According to him, this is due to both his own form and the style of PARIVISION, which is currently largely built around his farming.

[Question: "My first question should be: why the hell are you so good? You have the best stats among all carry players at The International. I just don't get it. Why are you so much better than everyone else here?"]

I'm just in good form at this TI. The team is also in good shape. We're playing a lot around me right now because I farm a lot. Of course, I can just dive into the enemies. <...> I don't even have to play much — I just insanely annoy the opponents.

Then Gallyamov spoke about the next match against Team Spirit . The winner of this series will advance to the upper bracket final of The International 2026.

[Question: "The next opponent will be Spirit. What would you say to the guys?"] We'll see who's stronger.
