The original tournament schedule was set to conclude on November 2nd, just one day before the start of IEM Chengdu 2025—another major international event. The tight scheduling led several top-tier teams to decline their invites to PGL Bucharest.

In response, [[Companies/PGL|PGL]] adjusted the schedule on September 9th, moving the Grand Final to November 1st, creating a two-day window between events. Still, many top-ranked teams opted out, with only Astralis, HEROIC, 3DMAX, and PaiN Gaming committing to both tournaments.

Despite these absences, the lineup still boasts several legacy organizations and promising rising teams, offering a fresh competitive landscape.
