^^
Always have enjoyed watching the past seasons of this PGL Wallachia major and it's qualifiers.
Thanks for the update on the upcoming tournament for the new year in dota2 @passwordnow !

Have missed the conversation about the matches and what is going on in the dota2 scene lately.
Since we have mostly have been discussing about CounterStrike2 and their tournaments.

So it is nice to have a change of the regular talk, so to cleanse the pallet from time to time.

Seeing Yellow Submarine qualify through the WEU region is a surprise. I thought Nigma should've secured that spot after clutching up on the Birmingham qualifiers last week.

The Americas qualifier came to an end with Heroic winning the grand final in a clean sweep over Peru Rejects. They finally qualified for something and made the necessary changes by putting Wisper back in the offlane.

This tournament for the IEM in Krakow has been really intense!
Seen this trailer before it began on Monday but forgot to post it earlier for the start of the stage one matches today:
IEM Kraków 2026 Official Trailer
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q7TF_DobgMI

Like that line at the beginning mentioning about Dupree!
"They are gonna be sorry they were ever born.. all of them!"

The music used is very good and goes well with the CounterStrike vibe that has always given off for us fans watching these IEM tournaments!

Pretty nice trailer, i think this is first major LAN for s1mple after a long time, they beat Legacy yesterday 2-0 pretty easily

Today BC will play 3dmax in about an hour, i think pretty good odds on 3dmax just because people betting big on s1mple.

S1mple and company lost so badly today versus 3DMAX! Think  Isaw the score of the first map 13-3 and the second was 13-4 so they got his ass handed to him to a not so bad CS2 squad.

Was this sposse to be Donk's reflection in the trophy during the trailer of IEM Krakow I posted earlier?

Honestly, that Donk artwork on the trophy is awful. Are they trying to force the kid into these unnecessary poses to promote the championship? The guy is good, but this photo looks really strange to me. And in the end, his team is going to sink and he won't be able to carry everyone.

I totally lost my faith to Nigma, nope they wont qualify on anything for sure. They are like Team Secret, everyone know that this team no longer has what it means to survive in competitive dota2 scene but they dont want to back down everytime

Anyway speaking of competitive dota2 scene, I've been noticing that Russian are really dominating dota2 pro scene right now. There are alot of Russian player on PGL Wallachia and look at the number of Russian players on FISSURE right now, I manually count them but there are atleast 15 Russian out of 40 players.

As far as I can recall, yeah Russian are everywhere on pro scene but throughout the years they are still pretty competitive in dota2

That's true, their roster is like in a slow descent, but at least they've qualified for one event.

I'd take that additional content over nothing, since it reminds me a bit of LoL and how they'd put up trailers to give a bit of context between the participating teams.

s1mple vs zywoo today after bcgame beat NIP 2-0 yesterday with s1mple on 41-28 scoreline

Vitality are obv huge favorites since bc also lost to 3dmax pretty easily, im thinking maybe under bet on s1mple as he would probably try to do alot in his first game vs Top team in years, lets see how it goes

I got curious and had to check the lines. The bookies set him at o/u 14.5 on each map and it's a tempting offer assuming Vitality wraps this one up easily in the same fashion as what 3dmax did during the play-ins.

Interestingly, the disparity is so wide in their VRS rankings that BC.game won't lose VRS points regardless of the outcome.

yea, he didnt cover that line against nip in map 2, so maybe he wont cover in both maps vs vitality

Guy hasnt played against top 10 teams in like 7 months, but then again its s1mple so dont go heavy on it hahaha

First map won by Vitality, 13-8 on Dust2

Not looking great for s1mple and his squad (kinda expected, but I had hopes they could make a greater fight).

Next one is Overpass, and then Inferno if they manage to take it to the third map.

edit: 2-0 to Vitality

Team Vitality taking out s1mple and Bc.game yesterday was to show who was the more dominate team.

Today's matches see G2 having difficulty with another lower tiered team in FUT on their first map.
While Falcons are seeing if they can comeback down two rounds 8-10 in their match against Aurora where it is tied one map for each side.

Within the next half an hour we will see The Mongolz going up against FURIA, Natus Vincere seeing if they can defeat Spirit and a rather hot Parivision vs Astralis.
