Aurora Gaming vs Parivision rosters, recent results, and best heroes
It’s a tough time to be a good Dota 2 esports team. Aurora is a decidedly “good” team, but there are lots of great ones right now. BetBoom Team, Gaimin Gladiators, Team Falcons, Team Liquid, Team Spirit, and Tundra Esports have filled the podium every time and left no room for anybody else.
It’s a tough situation for a team like Aurora Gaming. The team brings together a strong lineup that includes two TI winners from Team Spirit and both veteran and upstart talent, but has struggled to break into that crowded upper echelon of Dota 2 esports.

There’s a hint that this might be changing at the Esports World Cup. Aurora won its group by posting a 5-1 record and beating Tundra Esports 2-1 in the tiebreaker. This earned the team a direct berth to the playoffs without having to play through the elimination stage. Not only that but Parivision is, seemingly, in a weaker state.
The team went 3-3 in its own group, which hints that this may be Aurora’s time to break out. Bettors shouldn’t take the bait, though. This is still the same Parivision that has beaten Aurora time and again throughout 2025.
