The last day of the group stage at PGL Wallachia S2 promises to be intense, as a spot in the playoffs is at stake. Six teams are currently tied for the sixth position in the standings, but only eight can advance to the next stage. The fate of many participants will be determined today, with the matches Azure Ray vs beastcoast, iG vs nouns, and Alliance vs Infinity being key in determining who remains in the title race and who says goodbye to the tournament.
Let's look at predictions for these three crucial clashes, considering the current form of the teams and their strengths.
Azure Ray vs Beastcoast
Azure Ray entered PGL Wallachia S2 with serious ambitions, trying to leave behind their failure in the TI 13 qualifiers, where they lost both their confidence and dominant play, which was once their hallmark. Despite this, the team appears significantly better this new season, showing composure and refined strategy. They started the tournament with wins over Infinity and the revamped Nigma Galaxy, confirming their ability to adapt to different opponent play styles. Their only loss came against HEROIC, who are currently considered the top contenders for the tournament win.
beastcoast, on the other hand, faced difficulties at the start, losing their first two matches—first in a hard-fought battle with Avulus (1:2), and then also to Nigma Galaxy. However, they found their footing afterward, defeating Apex Genesis and L1GA Team, giving them new momentum ahead of the decisive matches. Their style is based on aggressive strategy and quick rotations, which could pose a problem for Azure Ray if they fail to adapt in time.
Prediction from Bo3.gg
In our opinion, this match promises to be tense and will likely go the full three maps. beastcoast have once again shown their ability to come back after a rough tournament start, so we can expect them to put up a good fight. However, given Azure Ray's more stable form and higher level of discipline, they are considered the favorites in this clash. Their ability to control the late game stages and better adapt to the opponent gives them an edge in decisive moments. Thus, while we expect 3 maps, victory will likely go to Azure Ray.
Invictus Gaming vs nouns
Invictus Gaming arrived at PGL Wallachia aiming to correct their play after a complete failure in the Dreamleague S24 qualifiers, where the team lost two matches in a row. The tournament in Romania also started poorly for them, with a loss to Alliance (1:2). This loss became a reset moment for iG, and they managed to quickly rebound, first easily defeating Apex Genesis, and then securing a hard-fought win over L1GA Team. Despite some difficulties, the team is showing gradual improvement, which could be key in the match against nouns. However, the question remains—will this stability be enough for them to successfully face the American team?
nouns, on the other hand, arrived at the tournament in high spirits after winning the American qualifier for Dreamleague S24. However, at PGL Wallachia, the team faced unforeseen problems. Their initial loss to L1GA Team was a real shock for everyone. After that, they managed to beat Infinity, but again lost to Alliance without a chance. Their last game against MOUZ ended in a tough but still a victory. This indicates an unstable form for the team, which hasn't yet found their optimal rhythm for the tournament.
Prediction from Bo3.gg
This match promises to be tense, and we are almost certain it will go to three maps. Although nouns show signs of stabilization after several setbacks, their form remains extremely unstable. Invictus Gaming, despite their previous setbacks, show improvement and possess more discipline and strategy to handle the opponent’s instability. If nouns can find their game and control key moments, they have a chance to win. However, our favorites remain iG due to their more stable form in this tournament.
Alliance vs Infinity Esports
Alliance began their journey at PGL Wallachia S2 with an important victory over iG by a score of 2:1, proving they can compete at a high level. In their next match against the tournament favorites, Falcons, the team managed to take a map but could not secure an overall win. However, in their last meeting with nouns, they showed a significant advantage, winning the match without much difficulty. Alliance are in good form right now and are among the teams vying for a playoff spot.
Infinity Esports, on the other hand, had a challenging start, losing to Azure Ray and nouns, although they did manage to take a map against the Chinese team. Their prospects improved significantly after defeating Team Waska and unexpectedly overcoming Nigma Galaxy (2:1), allowing them to stay in the top-8 contention. Despite this, Infinity appears unstable, and although they have potential, it will be tough for them to face Alliance in this decisive match.
Prediction from Bo3.gg
We predict Alliance will win 2:0, considering their stable form and strong performances throughout the tournament. However, Infinity should not be entirely ruled out—if they can exploit the opponent's weaknesses and find their game, they might take one map. However, a complete victory for Infinity would be a huge surprise.
Conclusion
The last day of the PGL Wallachia S2 group stage will be decisive for many teams fighting for a place in the playoffs. All three matchups—Azure Ray vs beastcoast, iG vs nouns, and Alliance vs Infinity Esports—promise to be incredibly intense, with every win or loss potentially determining the teams' fate in the tournament. We expect the competition to be fierce, with possible surprises; however, based on the analysis and current team form, our favorites are Azure Ray, iG, and Alliance.
