PARIVISION moved to 3-0 in Group Stage 2 at DreamLeague Season 26 with another victory on Sunday.
PARIVISION swept Yakult Brothers 2-0, while the other three matches finished in 2-1 scorelines: Talon Esports over Nigma Galaxy, Gaimin Gladiators over Aurora Gaming and BetBoom Team over winless Team Liquid.
The $1 million Dota 2 tournament began with 16 teams divided into two groups of eight in Group Stage 1. The top four teams from each group advanced out of the opening phase.
Group Stage 2 consists of a single round-robin of best-of-three matches. Four teams then will compete in a double-elimination playoff bracket, featuring best-of-three matches until the best-of-five grand final on June 1.
The first-place team will pocket $250,000 plus a $40,000 club reward. There also will be 29,200 ESL Pro Tour points distributed among the teams participating.
On Sunday, PARIVISION prevailed over Yakult Brothers in 53 minutes and 45 minutes on red. PARIVISION has dropped only one map through their first three series of Group Stage 2.
Nigma Galaxy opened with a 34-minute win on green, but Talon responded by winning in 45 minutes and 34 minutes on red.
