Counter Strike 2: PARIVISION benched rifler nota and replaced him with former QWENTRY player slaxejezzzz..

Russian Counter Strike 2 (CS2) esports powerhouse PARIVISION announced on Friday via their official X Twitter account that rifler nota, has been benched.

According to PARIVISION's official statement, nota will be immediately replaced by newly signed former QWENTRY player slaxejezzzz.

It is worth mentioning, this is PARIVISION's second roster change in recent days since their humiliating 0-3 defeat at the Intel Extreme Masters (IEM) Cologne Major.

Just days ago, the team announced the benching of rifler BELCHONOKK.

Former Cloud9 (C9) player HObbit will immediately replace him, adding more experience to the starting five ahead of the XSE Pro League.

The 19-year-old Russian player nota was one of the rising stars who helped the team win the BLAST Bounty Season 1 earlier this year.

However, after the team's collective decline in performance, nota became the second player recently to be benched and even be transfer-listed.

slaxejezz, who is still only 18 years old, has been playing for QWENTRY, a lower-ranked Russian team on HLTV, since February 2025.

In April of this year, slaxejezz and his QWENTRY teammates joined PsychoFace, where he began to shine, achieving a 1.25 rating over the past three months.

PARIVISION, with a strong start to the year, won the BLAST Bounty Season 1, but failed to maintain their winning streak.

They were subsequently eliminated in the group stage of IEM Krakow, but then rebounded strongly at PGL Cluj-Napoca, reaching the finals.

However, their performance has declined since then. After being eliminated in the semifinals of BLAST Rotterdam, they were knocked out in the quarterfinals of PGL Bucharest, and subsequently suffered group stage exits at both PGL Astana and CAC, before being eliminated at the Cologne Major.

PARIVISION's current roster is:

In-Game Leader: Jame

Rifler: slaxejezz

Rifler: xiELO

Rifler: zweih

Rifler: HObbit (stand-in)

Coach: dastan

In-game leader / Entry Fragger: Jerry (benched)

Rifler: BELCHONOKK (benched)

Rifler: nota (benched)
