Dota 2 prodigy gets banned on Twitch days after top 3 finish at TI 2025

Alan “Satanic” Gallyamov, the 18-year-old Dota 2 sensation who just helped PARIVISION secure a historic third-place finish at The International 2025, has found himself in the spotlight for an unexpected reason.

Just days after TI concluded, the rising star’s Twitch channel suddenly became unavailable mid-stream, sparking an outpouring of speculation across the Dota 2 community. The Russian carry quickly addressed the situation on his personal Telegram channel, posting, “Забанили меня на денек” (“They banned me for a day”), confirming the suspension.

His response reassured fans that the incident was temporary, but the timing, coming right at the peak of his professional success, raised plenty of eyebrows. Satanic’s suspension arrived at a moment when his reputation had never been stronger. PARIVISION’s run to the semifinals at TI 2025 was one of the year’s biggest surprises, and his performances on heroes like Anti Mage and Templar Assassin were central to their deep playoff push.

Even in their eventual 1-2 loss to Xtreme Gaming, Satanic’s mechanical skill and composure under pressure stood out, cementing his status as one of the most exciting young carries in professional Dota. With more than 80,000 followers on his Twitch channel, Satanic had been riding the wave of competitive success into content creation, steadily building his profile beyond the tournament stage.

The one-day suspension, however, points to what was likely a minor infraction rather than a serious breach of Twitch’s Terms of Service. This moment comes during a breakout year for Satanic and PARIVISION. Alongside their TI success, they took home the title at ESL One Raleigh 2025 and reached the finals of PGL Wallachia Season 4, proving themselves a consistent force against tier-one competition.

For Satanic personally, the decision to join PARIVISION on loan from Team Spirit now looks like a defining step in his career, giving him the platform to showcase both his raw mechanical talent and his ability to thrive under pressure. Incidents like this highlight the balancing act young esports stars must navigate, where competitive performance and streaming careers intertwine.

A minor Twitch suspension serves as a reminder of the importance of adapting to platform rules as their public profiles grow. With his skill, charisma, and proven results, Satanic is well-positioned to turn this brief disruption into just another part of his growth. Fans now wait eagerly for his return to Twitch, where his mix of competitive brilliance and personality continues to fuel his rapid rise in the Dota 2 scene.
