You're welcome, in several hours later the tournament will start.
If you guys will notice, there is no SEA team there. Actually, there is. But that team has disbanded even though they have secured their slot for this and that's the Blacklist team. I guess PGL Wallachia didn't give that slot to any other SEA team so, the tournament is as-is.
They probably gave it to another region to save themselves the headache of teams withdrawing due to visa issues and the runner up team (skem & friends) had already disbanded.
I only noticed now that NaVi got invited as well, with bzm standing in they probably have a good shot if he performs well and gets lucky with the matchups.
I think that they have sold it out or it was PGL organizers decided to give the slot to another region. Maybe it's on the SA because they've got 3 invited slots + 1 regional slot. No clear details though but that's okay. And as for NaVi, to be honest I like their mid sanctity and this should be the tournament that he can showcase his talents but problems do occur so good luck to them and this is why I have bet for their first match.
PGL Wallachia Season 2 is set to start in a day. It will all start with the group stages and the matches are already set.
Group stage but the twist is that this is a swiss stage with BO3 on all games. Hell yeah !
I always despise group stage because it was designed as BO2 for the games but when it comes to swiss stage, it has different vibes on it. Teams need to win rather than keeping strat then forcing draws on the usual group stage.
I guess I wont be betting too much on PGL Walachia I guess, things could turn south anytime as this is basically the first tier 1 tournament of the new season and most teams are playing with complete new roster so yeah its going to be difficult to actually bet on this tournament
You're right, it is a bo3 series for all games and that's going to take time. I like this more than the typical group stages that only has bo2 games. This group stages is a good time to see who's going to dominate the latest patch made by Valve. This is a long group stage so, you have a lot of time to decide whether to bet or not.
