PARIVISION sign xiELO and bench TRAVIS

The Russian team has picked up one of the country's most promising players.

xiELO is PARIVISION's newest player

PARIVISION have announced that they have completed the signing of GUN5 star Vladislav "⁠xiELO⁠" Lysov to replace Aleksandr "⁠TRAVIS⁠" Timkiv, who has been moved to the bench.

The decision comes after a disappointing first half of the 2025 season by PARIVISION, who are currently ranked 38th in the VRS and have only attended one LAN so far.

TRAVIS moved to PARIVISION in January alongside AMKAL teammate Emil "⁠nota⁠" Moskvitin and Virtus.pro AWPer Dzhami "⁠Jame⁠" Ali—a flurry of changes that forced the team to grind their way back into the VRS.

A victory in CCT Season 2 Europe Series 16 and runners-up finishes in CCT Season 3 Europe Series 1 and Galaxy Battle Phase 2 were some of the highlights of the first five months of the year, but PARIVISION have been unable to earn enough VRS points to get into the international LAN circuit.

Aleksei "⁠Qikert⁠" Golubev's troops went out last in the Europe MRQ following losses to HEROIC, Astralis and B8. And at BetBoom LanDaLan 2, their sole LAN event this year, they couldn't get out of the group stage after losing to Spirit Academy and ARCRED.

xiELO's arrival will provide additional firepower to the team. A GUN5 player for nearly two years, he averaged a 1.13 rating during the second half of 2024, earning praise from Ismailcan "⁠XANTARES⁠" Dörtkardeş, who named the Russian as his bold prediction in his HLTV Top 20 article.

"He is very brave," XANTARES says. "He does not shy away from fights that a lot of the players would consider madness. He has good stats for his explosive playstyle. In my opinion, he has great potential, and I believe he can achieve it if he works hard and understands certain aspects of the game better."

xiELO will make his first official appearance for PARIVISION on June 8, when the team will face Marius in Exort The Proving Grounds Season 1.
