Everything you need to know about PGL Wallachia Season 5
PGL Wallachia Season 5 is fast approaching, and we have compiled all the information for the tournament in a handy guide.
In under a week, PGL Wallachia Season 5 will kick off. The offline Dota 2 tournament will feature 16 teams, fighting it out over nine days for their share of the $1,000,000 prize pool on offer. As the teams prepare for a trip to the PGL Studios in Bucharest, Romania, many will come off the back of qualifiers for the Esports World Cup (EWC) 2025 and The International 2025.
Nine of the 16 teams will be heading to Riyadh a few weeks later for the Esports World Cup (EWC) 2025. This makes the event of greater importance, as teams could use it to test out a few new strategies.
Below you can find all the information for the upcoming PGL Wallachia Season 5, including the teams involved, format, talent, and where to watch your favourite teams participating.

On May 27th, the 16 teams heading to PGL Wallachia Season 5 were confirmed. However, during this period, there have been a few changes. Team Tidebound was picked up by All Gamers Global and will now be playing under their new organisation. Furthermore, on June 16th, it was announced that MOUZ would no longer be a part of the tournament. Subsequently, their slot was given to Edge. It is currently unknown why exactly MOUZ withdrew from the tournament, but there is heavy speculation online that it is due to their failure to qualify for either TI 2025 or the EWC.

The format
As with every PGL Wallachia event since Season 1, Season 5 shares the same format. All 16 teams will begin in a single group, participating in a modified Swiss-style Round Robin Group Stage. All games during this stage will be best-of-three, with the top 8 teams advancing to the playoffs. The remaining 8 teams will be eliminated from the event.
Heading into the Playoff Stage, the teams will enter into a double-elimination bracket. Once again, all series played will be best-of-three, leading up to a best-of-five grand finals where the champion is crowned.
