PARIVISION ground Falcons to reach BLAST Open Rotterdam 2026 Semi-Finals

PARIVISION have continued their strong 2026 by locking in the BLAST Open Rotterdam 2026 Semi-Finals, following a convincing 2:0 win over Falcons. The victory sees PARIVISION take their third consecutive victory over Falcons in 2026, this time arguably the most straightforward yet.

Falcons show very little in PARIVISION loss

If Falcons were looking for any positive signs for the rest of the season, it’s hard to suggest they’ll find them in this series against PARIVISION. After NiKo told us recently that past meetings against the Russian lineup have made PARIVISION look better than they are, you’d have expected Falcons to show a little more fight. Instead, we got a limp showing, and more evidence that this iteration of the lineup isn’t the final product.

Mirage was entirely defined by strong CT sides. A nine-round CT haul for PARIVISION on map one put Falcons immediately on the back foot, NiKo not managing to muster up a single kill across the 12 rounds. Equally, Falcons’ own CT side was strong, as kyousuke and m0NESY came alive to drag the team to an attempted comeback. The damage was already done. PARIVISION finally got over the line, too close for comfort at 13:11. Fine margins.

Map two of Ancient was very similar to Mirage in many ways. A fast PARIVISION start seemed to precede a swift 2:0, but a slight Falcons resurgence at the end of the first half left lingering doubts. At 7:5, it was anyone’s game. PARIVISION took the first, and the next three rounds after that, taking a commanding 11:5 lead. To their credit, Falcons didn’t lay down and die at that point. Like Mirage, they found a streak of their own on their T side, making it a one-round game at 11:10. But at long last, PARIVISION found the answers, and more importantly, found the last two rounds they needed to secure the win.

Not only is this another dent in Falcons’ trophy hopes, but it’s even more proof that PARIVISION’s form can be sustained for the rest of the year.
