PGL has announced the 12 teams that have received direct invitations to its upcoming Counter-Strike 2 (CS2) event, set to take place in Bucharest, Romania, from April 6 to April 13, 2025. The tournament will showcase top teams from around the world, competing for a prize pool of $625,000 (£493,156), with $200,000 (£157,794) allocated to the winners.
The invited teams are:
- Astralis
- Eternal Fire
- FaZe Clan
- FURIA
- GamerLegion
- G2 Esports
- The MongolZ
- PaiN Gaming
- Team Falcons
- Team Liquid
- Virtus.pro
- 3DMAX
Most of these teams are part of the top 12 ranked in March’s Valve Regional Standings (VRS), though notable absences include NAVI and MOUZ, ranked 6th and 8th respectively.
Despite MOUZ’s victory at the most recent PGL CS2 event in Cluj-Napoca, it’s unclear why they are not attending this time.
A total of 16 teams will compete in PGL Bucharest 2025, with the remaining four spots to be filled through online qualifiers across Europe, the Americas, and Asia.
