Several big names return to a PGL event after skipping Cluj-Napoca.

G2 make the trip to Romania

PGL have revealed the 12 direct invites for Bucharest 2025, set to be held from April 5-13. The tournament will feature a $1,250,000 prize pool, which will now be split 50-50 between the players and the organizations after a recent change.

Among the invites are G2, Liquid, and FURIA, who previously skipped PGL Cluj-Napoca due to not getting any revenue share.

After PGL's change in prize money allocation, the three organizations have now returned to an event held by the Romanian tournament organizer.

Meanwhile, Eternal Fire are set to continue their incredibly busy schedule by attending the event, as will Cluj-Napoca finalists Falcons.

The invite list means that Spirit, Vitality, Natus Vincere, and PGL Cluj-Napoca winners MOUZ have declined direct invitations based on the February 3 ranking, which was used as the cutoff for the tournament invites.

The current PGL Bucharest team list is as follows, with four more teams set to qualify from the regional qualifiers:
