The PGL Wallachia S2 starts in October, just after the end of The International 2024. Six teams already qualified, and ten organizations are already invited. Here’s all the details you were looking for!

The International 2024 is not even here, and we already have the teams qualified for the first big tournament that comes after PGL Wallachia S2. Following the first season's results, ten teams were directly invited to the event. However, six others had to go through regional qualifiers, with only one spot for each.

On the other hand, planning such an important tournament less than a month after TI has its caveats. Every year, the competitive scene goes through massive changes during what the community calls the "TI-shuffle". During this transfer season, many rosters make adjustments according to which players result as "free agents".

  • Team Liquid (WEU)
  • Team Falcons (MENA)
