Dukalis Speaks Out on Dota 2 EWC 2025 Arena

Parivision captain Andrey “Dukalis” Kuropatkin recently commented on the current condition of Dota 2 EWC 2025 arena in Saudi Arabia.

Parivision became the third team to advance to the semifinals after defeating Aurora Gaming in an intense match that ended 2-1 in their favor. During that match, Parivision appeared extremely fired up, and Dukalis attributed this to the opposing teams’ tables being positioned too close together.

He felt this stage setup could cause excessive distraction, as players could hear their opponents even with headsets on. On the other hand, he said it could boost his team’s morale, as nearby personnel could motivate them with loud cheers.

This situation has actually been criticized by several personnel from teams involved in EWC 2025, including both management and players. Team Spirit, who also qualified for the semifinals earlier today, stated that EWC organizers had done nothing to change the stage layout despite most players having complained about it.

Parivision is set to face Team Spirit in the semifinal match tomorrow, July 18. Criticism aside, their match is predicted to be exciting due to the intense rivalry atmosphere.
