Untangling the Coach, the Player Profiles, and the Team Called Alagon

Review note: This profile was reviewed on July 30, 2026. Most available information about Alagon comes from third-party esports databases and editorial profiles, not official biographies, roster announcements, or verified personal accounts. Dates, statistics, earnings, and affiliations should therefore be read as reported records rather than definitive facts.

Method: The reviewed profiles were compared field by field, with coaching history kept separate from player-match records and from the unrelated team named Alagon. Where sources conflict, the disagreement is preserved rather than resolved by assumption.

Who is Alagon in Dota 2?

The best-supported short answer is that Alagon is Kirill Pavlik, a Latvian Dota 2 coach. That is the most common identification across the reviewed profiles, and coaching is the principal professional role attached to his broader career history.

Third-party coverage associates Kirill “Alagon” Pavlik with HellRaisers, V-Gaming, the former V-Gaming lineup later signed by Rune Eaters Esports, Alliance, One Move, and Chimera. A later history table also lists Team Public and another brief Rune Eaters period. Dota2.ru identifies him as Kirill Pavlik from Latvia and records a coaching history beginning in 2019.

That answer needs two immediate qualifications.

First, some player-oriented databases identify Alagon not as Kirill but as Nikita Pavlik. These pages classify Alagon as a support player and attach aliases, matches, teams, and earnings to that name. GGScore, for example, displays Nikita Pavlik, Latvia, a support position, and records associated with NIX and No Monkey Business.

Second, Alagon was also the name of a short-lived Ukrainian Dota 2 team active in 2020. It is a separate database entity, not a biographical page for either Pavlik profile.

Search result or entity	Entity type	Country shown by sources	Active context	Confidence
Kirill “Alagon” Pavlik	Coach; also described as a co-caster or broadcast collaborator and streamer-event participant	Latvia	Reported coaching career beginning in 2019; later appearances with Nix	Moderate to high as a working identification. Several reviewed sources agree, but no supplied official biography confirms the identity.
Nikita “Alagon” Pavlik	Disputed player profile, usually classified as support	Latvia in structured database fields	Matches attributed to NIX and No Monkey Business, mainly in player and streamer-event databases	Low to moderate. The profiles exist, but ownership of their match records is unresolved.
Alagon team	Dota 2 team	Ukraine	Brief competitive record from September through November 2020	High that it was a separate team. No reviewed record connects it to either Pavlik profile.

Repeated database agreement makes Kirill Pavlik the strongest interpretation when someone searches for “Alagon Dota 2,” particularly when the surrounding context concerns coaching, Nix, HellRaisers, One Move, or Chimera. It does not amount to independent primary-source verification.

The responsible formulation is therefore: Across the reviewed third-party profiles, Alagon is most often identified as Kirill Pavlik, a Latvian Dota 2 coach, while conflicting Nikita Pavlik player records remain unresolved.

Coach, player, or co-caster? Alagon’s different Dota 2 roles

The apparent contradiction between “coach” and “player” becomes easier to understand when Alagon’s activities are divided into three categories:

1. Professional coaching
2. Co-casting or broadcast collaboration
3. Playing in streamer-oriented tournaments

The strongest contextual account presents Kirill Pavlik primarily as a coach. It reports a career beginning with HellRaisers in September 2019 and later names V-Gaming, Rune Eaters, Alliance, Paseka, One Move, and Chimera. The same account describes Alagon as a recurring co-caster or broadcast collaborator with Alexander “Nix” Levin. The Sports.ru profile connects Kirill Pavlik’s coaching career with his Nix broadcasts and streamer-event appearances.

Co-casting does not necessarily mean Alagon held a permanent official broadcasting position. The evidence supports the narrower description that he appeared alongside Nix and became a recurring collaborator in that streaming environment. It does not establish a complete employment history as a commentator, analyst, or broadcast personality.

Streamer-tournament participation is also distinct from a conventional professional-player career. Alagon’s recorded appearances on Nix’s teams show participation in organized events, but they do not prove that playing was his principal profession.

The player-oriented pages create a separate attribution problem. Escorenews identifies Alagon as Nikita Pavlik, labels the profile as support, and displays games from BetBoom Streamers Battle competition. It also associates the profile with NIX and No Monkey Business. The Escorenews profile shows how the Nikita name and support classification are attached to those match records. Without identity-linked accounts or matching Steam IDs, those games should not automatically be added to Kirill Pavlik’s coaching biography.

That distinction matters when interpreting hero choices, positions, and match totals. Several recorded games involve support heroes, but describing Kirill as a definitive position-five player would require two unproven assumptions: that the account belongs to him and that streamer-event matches represent his broader playing history.

The Sports.ru profile also reports that the nickname came from Algalon the Observer, a boss in World of Warcraft. According to that anecdote, Pavlik pronounced the name as “Alagon,” and the variation became his handle. This is useful biographical color, but it remains an attributed third-party anecdote rather than verified personal testimony.

The most defensible description is therefore a coach with recorded broadcast collaborations and playing appearances. The evidence does not establish a definitive playing position, current matchmaking rating, complete hero pool, or current coaching employer.

Reported coaching career: a dated Alagon timeline

Alagon’s reported coaching history can be reconstructed from database tables and editorial coverage, but it is not uniformly official. No primary roster announcement is supplied for every entry.

Unless otherwise noted, the exact dates below come from Dota2.ru’s coaching-history table; its surrounding narrative also covers V-Gaming and the April 2022 Rune Eaters roster signing. The Dota2.ru profile supplies the dated HellRaisers, Alliance, One Move, Team Public, and Rune Eaters entries.

Team	Reported role	Dates or period	Evidence used	Confidence or caveat
HellRaisers	Coach	September 24, 2019–January 27, 2020	Dota2.ru history table; Sports.ru places the start of his coaching career in September 2019	Moderate. Two third-party records agree on the general starting period.
V-Gaming	Coach	Reported during 2021	Dota2.ru narrative and Sports.ru profile	Moderate. Exact starting and ending dates are not supplied.
Rune Eaters Esports	Coach of the former V-Gaming lineup reportedly signed by Rune Eaters	Roster signing reported in April 2022	Dota2.ru narrative	Moderate. This describes a roster transfer, not proof that Rune Eaters was an organizational successor to V-Gaming.
Alliance	Coach	August 2–September 30, 2022	Dota2.ru history table	Moderate. Exact database dates are available, but no official announcement is supplied.
Paseka	Coach	Date not provided	Sports.ru profile	Low to moderate. The team is named, but the tenure cannot be placed precisely.
One Move	Coach	July 17, 2023–May 1, 2024 in Dota2.ru’s history	Dota2.ru; Esports Charts	Disputed end date. The sources agree on the reported start but not the duration.
Chimera	Coach	Period not clearly established	Sports.ru profile	Moderate association, uncertain dates.
Team Public	Coach	November 28, 2025–April 19, 2026	Dota2.ru history table	Low to moderate. A later third-party entry without a supplied primary announcement.
Rune Eaters Esports	Coach	April 19–May 1, 2026	Dota2.ru history table	Low to moderate. This brief later entry should not be confused with the 2022 roster transfer.

The earliest detailed record places Alagon with HellRaisers from September 24, 2019, to January 27, 2020. Sports.ru independently places the beginning of his coaching career in September 2019. That agreement supports the broad starting point, though it does not replace an archived team announcement.

The next phase is described through V-Gaming. Dota2.ru reports that Alagon coached the roster in 2021, that Rune Eaters Esports signed the lineup in April 2022, and that the roster reached the first division of the Eastern European Dota Pro Circuit. Because the supplied evidence contains no primary signing notice or league record, those details should remain attributed to the profile.

Alliance follows as a short reported tenure from August 2 through September 30, 2022. Paseka is harder to place: it appears in Sports.ru’s list of teams coached by Alagon, but no exact dates accompany the association.

One Move is the clearest example of database disagreement. Dota2.ru ends the tenure on May 1, 2024, while Esports Charts displays the association as beginning on July 17, 2023, and continuing substantially longer. A stale profile, different definitions of team membership, or data-attribution issues could explain the discrepancy, but none of those explanations is proven.

Chimera is another reported coaching association. Sports.ru characterizes fourth place at DreamLeague Season 25 with Chimera as Alagon’s best coaching result. That description should remain attributed because “best” can depend on tournament level, placement, prize value, or another measure of significance.

Dota2.ru’s later history adds Team Public from November 28, 2025, to April 19, 2026, followed by Rune Eaters from April 19 to May 1, 2026. These entries are more recent than some narrative summaries, but recency does not make them official. They remain reported affiliations pending stronger confirmation.

Alagon and Nix: coaching, casting, and streamer tournaments

Alexander “Nix” Levin connects several otherwise separate parts of Alagon’s public Dota 2 record.

Sports.ru reports that Nix was on the HellRaisers roster when Alagon began coaching the team in September 2019. Their later association extended beyond a conventional team structure: Alagon was described as a recurring co-caster or broadcast collaborator on Nix’s streams and appeared on Nix-branded teams in BetBoom Streamers Battle events.

Those activities should not be merged into one category. Coaching HellRaisers was a staff role. Appearing alongside Nix on a stream was a media collaboration. Playing in Streamers Battle was competitive participation. The same people may be involved, but the work and evidentiary records are different.

The Sports.ru profile credits Alagon with wins at BetBoom Streamers Battle 3 and 4 as part of Nix’s team. A separate tracker lists a runner-up finish at BetBoom Streamers Battle 7 on August 18, 2024, attributing $1,341.60 to that one result. Esports Earnings limits its displayed total to the single Battle 7 result rather than claiming to cover all of Alagon’s activity.

Cybersport.ru provides broader event coverage. It records first place at Streamers Battle 4, third–fourth at Battle 5, second at Battle 7, fifth–sixth at Battle 13, and a later Team Nix participation entry. Its profile identifies the player as Kirill Pavlik from Latvia and displays the associated Team Nix results.

The databases therefore agree on parts of the Nix connection while differing in scope. One tracker includes a single prize result; another records several event placements and dozens of matches. That difference does not necessarily make either record false. It shows that the databases index competitions and individual awards differently.

What can be said safely is that Alagon has recurring reported appearances with Nix across coaching, broadcasting, and streamer events. Those appearances do not establish a continuous full-time professional playing career.

What the match and hero statistics actually show

There is no defensible way to create one definitive Alagon career stat line from the reviewed databases. Their scopes differ, and the identity attached to the player records is inconsistent. Each statistical set must be treated as a source-specific snapshot.

CyberScore displays this “last year” summary:

Metric	CyberScore snapshot
Wins	6
Losses	8
Win rate	42%
KDA	2.78
Gold per minute	348
Experience per minute	450

The wins and losses total 14 games. On the same page, CyberScore separately references 66 matches and 12 heroes without explaining how those figures relate to the 14-game summary. CyberScore displays both sets of figures but does not provide a reconciliation. They should not be combined into one career total.

Cybersport.ru presents a different snapshot: 44 matches, 29 wins, 15 losses, and a displayed 66% win rate. Its hero table also lists six games each on Techies, Skywrath Mage, Dark Willow, and Pugna. The page identifies the player as Kirill Pavlik, but the difference from CyberScore means the two records should remain separate rather than being averaged or merged.

Support-oriented heroes recurring across the reviewed records include:

• Techies
• Skywrath Mage
• Dark Willow
• Pugna
• Hoodwink
• Grimstroke
• Phoenix
• Tusk

Other player databases show streamer-event games on Grimstroke, Skywrath Mage, Pugna, Dark Willow, Hoodwink, and related support choices. This is enough to say that support heroes appear frequently in the captured matches. It is not enough to establish a complete or characteristic career hero pool.

A limited group of streamer tournaments can create a narrow, role-specific sample. Such a sample says little about years of public matchmaking, coaching practice, unrecorded competition, or play on accounts not indexed by the databases.

Identity remains the central limitation. GGScore and Escorenews classify their Alagon profiles as support while naming the player Nikita Pavlik. Escorenews also contains inconsistent coverage fields: its header shows “5 / 41” matches, its generated description mentions approximately 36 matches, and its team table contains 39 NIX entries plus two NMB entries. These unlike database fields should not be treated as one clean match total.

Accordingly, none of the following can be presented as a verified Kirill Pavlik career statistic:

• A definitive overall win rate
• A complete match count
• A fixed support position
• A signature hero pool
• A combined KDA
• A unified earnings total derived from the player pages

The databases establish that profiles called Alagon have support-oriented match records. They do not establish that every record belongs to the same person or account.

Why Alagon’s name, earnings, and current team conflict across databases

The reviewed records conflict over identity, role, earnings, and current affiliation. Here, however, the conflict reaches the person’s first name.

Source or source group	Real name	Country shown	Primary role label	Current-team label	Coverage displayed	Reported earnings
Dota2.ru	Kirill Pavlik	Latvia	Coach	Unaffiliated in the main profile; later history includes Team Public and Rune Eaters	Coaching-history rows rather than a unified player-match total	Not provided
Esports Charts	Kirill Pavlik	Latvia	One Move coach, although parts of the page use a generic player label	One Move	Team and event associations, not a personal match total	Not provided
Cybersport.ru	Kirill Pavlik	Latvia	Player profile with Team Nix results	Team participation shown, not a clearly settled employer	44 matches	$3,481
Esports Earnings	Kirill Pavlik	Latvia	Player	Independent affiliation for its listed result	One tournament result	$1,341.60
GGScore	Nikita Pavlik	Latvia in the structured field	Support; generated text also calls him a coach	Blank, while generated text mentions CHMR	39 NIX team-table entries and 2 NMB entries; an unexplained “5 / 41” field	$4,584
Escorenews	Nikita Pavlik	Latvia in the structured field	Support; generated text also calls him a coach	No team, while generated text mentions CHMR	39 NIX and 2 NMB team-table entries; conflicting “5 / 41” and approximately 36-match descriptions	Approximately $4,000 in the header, with generated text suggesting about $4,600
Sports.ru profile	Kirill Pavlik	Latvia	Coach and recurring Nix co-caster	Chimera appears among the reported associations	Narrative career coverage rather than a unified match total	Not presented as a verified total

Dota2.ru, Esports Charts, Cybersport.ru, Esports Earnings, and Sports.ru use Kirill Pavlik. GGScore and Escorenews use Nikita Pavlik. The reviewed evidence does not determine whether Nikita is another person using the handle, a mistaken first name, or the result of conflated accounts.

Country information is more consistent. Structured database fields generally show Latvia. Some generated descriptions call Alagon Russian even when the same page’s country field says Latvia. Latvia is therefore the better-supported reported country; Russian nationality should not be repeated as established fact.

The earnings figures are incompatible:

• $1,341.60 from the one result indexed by Esports Earnings
• $3,481 displayed by Cybersport.ru
• Approximately $4,000, with another estimate of about $4,600, on Escorenews
• $4,584 displayed by GGScore

These figures do not necessarily measure the same thing. Plausible explanations include incomplete event coverage, different treatment of team awards and personal allocations, and identity conflation. Those are possible explanations, not demonstrated causes. No figure should be selected as Alagon’s definitive career total without an event-by-event reconciliation tied to a confirmed identity.

Current affiliation is similarly unresolved. The pages variously show One Move, no team, Chimera or CHMR-related coaching, Team Public, and Rune Eaters. Some entries may refer to different dates; others may be stale or generated from an isolated association. Without a current official roster announcement, none can be treated as settled.

There is also no reliably established birth date. Esports Earnings marks it unknown, while other profiles leave age blank. Esports Charts says no gaming-equipment information is available. Neither detail can be inferred from team history, match records, or generated biographies.

The unrelated Ukrainian Dota 2 team called Alagon

The Ukrainian team named Alagon is a separate search result. The reviewed evidence establishes no connection between that team and either Kirill Pavlik or the disputed Nikita Pavlik profile.

Third-party databases record the team from September through November 2020 in CIS-region competitions. GGScore reports 16 matches and a 63% win rate, while Game-Tournaments expresses the record as 10 wins and 63%. Ten wins in a 16-match record is compatible with a rounded 63% rate.

The recorded competitions include:

• ESL One Germany 2020 open qualifiers
• AOC Play open qualifiers
• Dota Summit 13 open qualifiers
• Binomo League

GGScore records second place at the November 2020 Binomo League and lists a $709 prize. Its team page supplies the 16-match summary, tournament list, placement, and displayed prize.

A separate database gives the stated original lineup as:

• dark
• MYSmoon
• y0nd
• Stonebank
• Bombad1l

That account does not align perfectly with the displayed roster widget. The widget contains only MYSmoon, Bombad1l, Stonebank, and dark, with all four marked as stand-ins. Game-Tournaments records the five-player lineup, 10 wins, and the team’s brief 2020 activity.

The databases describe or imply that the team is inactive, but no supplied announcement confirms a formal disbandment. “Apparently inactive” is therefore more precise than saying the organization officially dissolved.

Most importantly, a shared name is not evidence of a shared organization, founder, coach, or player. Nothing in the reviewed team records says it was named after either Pavlik, or that either personal profile represented or coached the team.

What can be stated confidently—and what still needs verification

The available information falls into four confidence levels.

Most common identification across the reviewed profiles: Alagon is best understood as Kirill Pavlik, a Latvian Dota 2 coach. Multiple sources use that name and country, while contextual coverage connects him primarily to coaching.

Reported career details: His coaching outline includes HellRaisers, V-Gaming, the former V-Gaming roster signed by Rune Eaters, Alliance, One Move, and Chimera. Paseka appears in an editorial list, while later database entries add Team Public and another Rune Eaters period. His reported connection with Nix spans HellRaisers, broadcast collaboration, and Streamers Battle teams.

Disputed database fields: The Kirill–Nikita name conflict remains unresolved. So do current-team labels, player-role classification, complete match coverage, earnings, and ownership of the support-oriented records.

Unknown facts: No reliable birth date, verified equipment list, definitive current employer, or complete playing record can be established from the supplied evidence.

Resolving the conflict would require stronger primary material. The most useful evidence would include official roster announcements for coaching appointments, organizer-maintained participant and prize records, and comparison of identity-linked Steam IDs or match accounts. Different accounts would support a two-person explanation. The same account would make a database naming error more plausible, although identity would still need direct confirmation.

Until such evidence emerges, the responsible summary is straightforward: Alagon is best documented in the reviewed sources as Kirill Pavlik, a Latvian coach with reported roles across several Eastern European teams and recurring appearances with Nix. His current affiliation, definitive earnings, and complete player statistics remain unsettled because some databases instead use the name Nikita Pavlik and may describe another person, account, or conflated record.

The three evidentiary categories should not be merged: the Kirill Pavlik coaching profile, the disputed Nikita Pavlik support profile, and the unrelated Ukrainian team called Alagon.

Frequently asked questions

What is Alagon’s real name in Dota 2?

The most common identification across the reviewed third-party sources is Kirill Pavlik from Latvia. GGScore and Escorenews instead use Nikita Pavlik for support-player records. The evidence does not establish whether Nikita is another person using the handle or a database error, so those records should not automatically be assigned to Kirill.

Is Alagon a Dota 2 coach or a player?

Alagon is best documented primarily as a coach. He has also been described as a recurring Nix co-caster and has played in streamer tournaments. Support-role player records exist under the Alagon handle, but some are assigned to Nikita Pavlik. Streamer-event participation alone does not establish a conventional full-time professional-player career.

What team is Alagon currently with?

His current affiliation is unresolved. Third-party sources variously show One Move, no team, Chimera or CHMR-related coaching, Team Public, and Rune Eaters. No supplied current official roster announcement settles the conflict.

How much prize money has Alagon earned?

There is no verified definitive total. The trackers use different coverage and display incompatible amounts, ranging from a single indexed tournament result to broader but potentially conflated totals. An accurate figure would require event-by-event reconciliation tied to a confirmed identity.

Is the Ukrainian team Alagon connected to Kirill Pavlik?

No connection is established. The Ukrainian Alagon was a separate Dota 2 team recorded in 2020. Nothing in the reviewed team profiles links it to Kirill Pavlik, Nikita Pavlik, or either personal profile using the Alagon handle.
