Alan “Satanic” Gallyamov is doing things at The International 2026 that make seasoned Dota 2 analysts quietly close their spreadsheets and wonder if the numbers are broken. The 18-year-old Russian carry player posted a 7/0/18 KDA line with 71% kill participation in his latest outing, a stat line that looks more like a bot lobby than the most competitive Dota 2 event on the planet.
Zero deaths. In a TI match. While participating in nearly three-quarters of his team’s kills.
The numbers behind the dominance
The single-game KDA is eye-catching, but it’s part of a broader pattern that has Gallyamov sitting atop virtually every meaningful statistical category at TI2026. He leads all players in Gold Per Minute at 938 and Experience Per Minute at 1,049, two metrics that measure how efficiently a carry player converts map resources into power.
He also holds the highest overall KDA across all players in the tournament. Not just among carry players. Not just among his team. Everyone.
His team, TEAM VISION (competing under the PARIVISION banner at the event), completed the group stage without dropping a series.
Who is Satanic?
Gallyamov is just 18 and plays the carry role, the position responsible for absorbing the most resources on a team and converting them into late-game damage output. He holds the record for being the first player to achieve an 18,000 MMR rating, and finished third at TI2025.
He’s technically on loan from Team Spirit, one of the most decorated organizations in Dota 2 history.
TI2026 in Shanghai
The International 2026 is running from August 13 to August 23 in Shanghai, China, with a prize pool exceeding $3.28 million. The tournament uses a Swiss-system grouping followed by double-elimination playoffs.
