PARIVISION signs Russian rifler FL1T for Esports World Cup

Evgenii "FL1T" Lebedev, a 25‑year‑old Russian rifler, has been recruited by the Russian esports organization PARIVISION ahead of the Esports World Cup. He replaces HObbit in the starting lineup and reunites with former teammates Jame and coach Dastan, with whom he won the IEM Rio Major 2022. FL1T was released from Virtus.pro in February and has been a free agent for several months before joining PARIVISION after five years with the former organization.

PARIVISION, which recently endured a difficult period—including a loss in the XSE Pro League final and an early exit at the IEM Cologne Major—made the roster change as part of its rebuilding effort. The team will debut the new lineup at the Esports World Cup in Paris, scheduled for 12–23 August 2026, featuring a $2 million prize pool. The announced roster includes Russian players Dzhami "Jame" Ali, Vladislav "xiELO" Lysov, Ivan "zweih" Gogin, Vyacheslav "slaxejezzz" Vinokurov, and coach Dastan Akbayev.
