Eight teams including prominent names depart the tournament, as underdogs take the spotlight.
PGL Wallachia Season 2 reaches the next phase of the tournament. The Group Stage concludes with eight teams facing elimination while eight more march to the Playoffs. Interestingly, the remaining teams field more underdogs and new names - particularly from the Americas.

PGL Wallachia bid farewell to plenty of notable names. The iconic TI-winning org, Alliance, has just returned to competitive Dota 2 with Wallachia being their debut event. However, they barely missed their Playoffs chance after a third series loss.
Azure Ray and Invictus Gaming both faced drastic roster changes and struggled to find their footing. L1GA TEAM, headlined by Crystalis, also didn't make it through after only securing a win against Nouns.
Western Europe's MOUZ and Nigma Galaxy are pushed to the bottom of the ranking with a 1W-3L score. Unfortunately, America's Apex Genesis and Team Waska bottomed in the ranking after failing to get a single series win on their plates.
