StarLadder Budapest Major 2025 Stage 2 begins with the matchup between TYLOO and PARIVISION — both teams start with a 0:0 score in the Swiss system. The winner immediately gains a 1:0 advantage and takes the first step toward Stage 3, while the loser will fall into the less favorable 0:1 bracket. This match is an important start for both teams: PARIVISION aim to continue their rise after a successful Stage 1, while TYLOO must prove they can compete on the international stage.
StarLadder Budapest Major 2025 Stage 2 — a step to a new level
The stage will take place from November 29 to December 2 in Budapest, where 16 teams will fight for spots in Stage 3. Among the participants are NAVI, FaZe, Astralis, Team Liquid, NiP, as well as PARIVISION and TYLOO, who reached this point through different paths from Stage 1 or the RMR circuit.
The format remains unforgiving: Bo1 in all non-elimination and non-advancement matches, and Bo3 in decisive games for qualification or elimination. In these conditions, even a single mistake at the start can significantly affect the rest of the tournament. TYLOO vs PARIVISION is a defining part of the Stage 2 opening, where every team wants to make a strong statement.
Head-to-head — first encounter
This is the first official matchup between the teams in their current rosters. The absence of direct historical advantage adds tension: both sides will have to adapt during the match, without clear insights into the opponent’s weaknesses.
The current world rankings reflect the different context each team brings into Stage 2: PARIVISION hold the #38 position, while TYLOO sit at #25. However, rankings do not accurately represent the real balance of power here.
Current form
- PARIVISION — confident growth and stability
PARIVISION enter Stage 2 in great shape, delivering strong results in decisive matches of Stage 1. The team demonstrates a well-structured game plan, clear role distribution and stable individual performance. Thanks to that, PARIVISION finished the first stage with a positive streak and a strong competitive rhythm.
- TYLOO — searching for their game in difficult times
By contrast, TYLOO are in a troubling state. The team has been losing most matches against top opponents and often collapses in key moments of rounds. The Chinese roster continues trying to find effective tactical solutions, but their current structure does not provide stable results. Form clearly favors PARIVISION — they enter Stage 2 with momentum, while TYLOO struggle with their own mistakes.
