[Romania Report] PGL takes Romanian e-sports to the next level

Professional Gamers League (Romania)

Founded in 2002, the Professional Gamers League has always been at the forefront of hosting e-sport events in Romania, partnering up with major organizers and sending the top Romanian players to represent their country around the world at the international grand finals.

Now, PGL takes it one step further this weekend with the Grand Finals for the first season of the Romanian eSport Championship. Hosted between 26 ? 27 May in Forte Games iCafe, Constanta, the grand finals will feature the best Counter-Strike, StarCraft 2 and DOTA 2 players in Romania, who will battle for cash prizes worth over 6000 EURO.

As with the rest of the PGL events for 2012, the season one grand finals will be streamed online via PGLTV: on Saturday, the Counter-Strike group stages and the DOTA 2 matches and finals will be in the spotlight, while on Sunday, the StarCraft 2 finalists will thrill viewers with intense matches, paving the way for the Counter-Strike grand final.

However, this will be just the start, because on October 26-27 the Dreamhack Eizo Open will make its final stop in the European tour in Bucharest, where the 1st and 2nd places for each official game will have reserved slots at Dreamhack Winter 2012 (November 22-25, Jonkoping, Sweden).

This will be the biggest e-sport event ever hosted in Romania, with prizes well beyond the established norm. And with top teams attending and competing for their place at Dreamhack Winter, e-sport fans won’t want to miss it for anything.
