Pundits Tipped Satanic as Dota’s Next Big Thing

Alan “satanic” Gallyamov, the 17-year-old Russian prodigy who was loaned to Parivision by Team Spirit, has become the talk of the Dota 2 world following an amazing performance at ESL One Raleigh 2025. As his team’s underdog victory shocked fans, pundits insist this is merely the opening act for a player destined to reshape the competitive scene.

Defying expectations for a rookie, satanic dominated the grand finals against his own parent organization, earning MVP honors with flawless plays that sealed Parivision’s 3-1 triumph. Social media erupted with declarations of him being the “next big thing,” while his now-iconic in-game taunt — “you can’t beat satanic” — became an instant meme across platforms.

The hype extends far beyond fans. Esteemed analysts Dmitry “Fishman” Polishchuk and Vladislav “Blackarxangel” Ivachshenko, who’ve tracked satanic’s rise since his early days, see this as validation of his massive potential.

“Yesterday I watched that Dota games (ESL One Raleigh 2025) until the morning. It was crazy, DM made 0 mistakes for 5 games, well, not counting the meme death on the fountain.

But I was happy to see satanic. I told him a year ago not to listen to haters and his time will come. It came very quickly, I’m happy for the young talent!” said Fishman on Telegram channel.

Meanwhile, Blackarxangel argued that Spirit made mistake when they loaned satanic to a rival team. He predicts the young genius will make waves again in upcoming tournaments.

Satanic is set to return to Team Spirit after ESL One Raleigh 2025. Given the community’s glowing praise, it would be absurd for the Russian organization not to reintegrate him into their regular squad soon.
