Following Team Liquid`s recent victory over PARIVISION in the group stage of the Riyadh Masters 2025 Dota 2 tournament, Team Liquid`s offlane player, Jonas “SabeRLighT-” Volek, offered his comments on the match and the teams` history during a post-game interview.
This win marked the third consecutive series in which Team Liquid has defeated PARIVISION. Across these three encounters, which include the grand final of FISSURE Universe: Episode 5, Team Liquid has maintained a perfect record, not dropping a single map. This brings the cumulative map score in recent head-to-head matches to a decisive 7-0 in favor of Team Liquid.
SabeRLighT-`s remarks come in the context of previous exchanges between the teams. Notably, during an earlier meeting, PARIVISION player Andrey “Dukalis” Kuropatkin had directed critical comments towards SabeRLighT-, including labeling him “still a bot.”
Addressing this historical context directly after securing the latest win, SabeRLighT- pointedly highlighted the statistical reality of their dominance over their opponents:
“7:0, by the way, 7:0. I don`t know, maybe I`m still a bot. But yeah, I think we can do even better. Hopefully, they don`t get eliminated too early from this tournament so we can beat them again and make it 9:0.”
His statement served as both a factual recount of the teams` recent performances against each other and a direct, perhaps understatedly ironic, response to the past criticism, leveraging the significant scoreline to underscore the point.
The Riyadh Masters 2025 is a premier Dota 2 event taking place from July 8 to 19 in Saudi Arabia, as part of the broader Esports World Cup 2025. The tournament features 16 participating teams competing for a substantial $3 million prize pool. At the time the original report was filed, Team Liquid was positioned favorably in Group D, holding the top spot with four points after completing two matches.
As the tournament progresses, the possibility remains for these teams to meet again, potentially adding another chapter to their recent history and providing further opportunities for memorable post-match commentary.
