PGL Bucharest starts tomorrow guys and I have a feeling Falcons are coming to take revenge for Cluj-Napoca where they lost the finals against Mouz.
They're already off to a bad start after getting swept by Complexity, and the second round will be interesting as all the other good teams (MongolZ, Virtus.Pro, and Team Liquid) are also included in the 0-1 pool.
Unfortunately Vitality , Spirit are once again not participating when it comes to PGL and I honestly have no idea why they refuse to play because it's an S tier tournament and the prize pool is also the same as ESL so I think it's just a management decision to make both teams skip this tournament which is kinda sad for the fans.
I recall hearing it from a streamer, and he mentioned these top teams sit out these PGL tournaments because there are no team incentives, unlike ESL which provides
annual club incentives, and Blast with their team participation rewards.
That is just crazy to hear as boltz had mentioned.
But it all comes down to the money when top tier teams are to play in these tournaments.
If the money isn't there they will just sit this one out and wait for the next one.
It is sad to see but I believe this trend will also start with CounterStrike too.
The players won't just play for the love of the esport but for the bottomline instead.
Just look at S1mple with the photo I posted of him riding in his brand new Ferrari and not even playing on the team that signed him Team Falcons.
