Tier-One CS returned to Romania with a Lan Lan tournament in the studio ...

The Mongolz is the team with the highest VRS ranking in the list

PGL announced the first pair of PGL Bucharest 2025, the tournament gathered 16 teams and will take place from 6-13 April.

The teams will compete in the Swiss System group stage format, with the 8 strongest teams entering the single -type qualifying round. The tournament will operate with the double broadcasting system, ensuring many CS matches during the group stage.

This tournament will be a great opportunity for teams outside the top 4 to win the title, because Spirit, Vitality, Natus Vincere and Mouz are not attending. Teams like The Mongolz, Eternal Fire, Faze and G2 will have a great opportunity to go away when not facing top champion candidates.

The most noticeable match in the opening match was Faze against Astralis, the pair of third-class competition at PGL Cluj-Napoca. At that time, Astralis won after losing the dramatic opening match on Mirage with many extra time. However, Faze paid this debt when defeating Astralis 2-0 convincingly at Blast Open Lisbon.

Another match is also noticeable that the clash between The Mongolz and 3DMAX. The two teams developed an interesting rival in the second half of 2024, after 3Dmax defeated The Mongolz in the SkySports Championship final. However, The Mongolz has gradually regained its upper hand, proving the strong rise of this team recently.
