On social media, Ahilles wrote: "Congratulations to the players of Yellow Submarine and their coach Illidan on qualifying for a tier-1 LAN tournament (PGL Wallachia). Honestly, I'm surprised by how the team turned things around after a slump and started playing Dota normally again. It turns out Illidan is a legend. Haters — ."
Earlier, the Yellow Submarine roster qualified for PGL Wallachia Season 7 from Western Europe. In the decisive match, the team defeated Pipsqueak+4.
The insider also paid attention to the performance of Power Rangers, who beat Strongboys in the final of the FISSURE Universe: Episode 8 play-in main stage and secured a slot in the tournament's playoffs. Notably, the team is ranked 125th in the world ranking for the discipline.
Regarding 1win Team, he was more reserved, calling the team's actions a "rush job." A similar opinion was expressed by former professional player and analyst Khaled "sQreen" El-Khabbash, who criticized the team's performance at FISSURE Universe: Episode 8 Play-In, where the team forfeited a match against Aurora Gaming to make it to a game in another tournament — PGL Wallachia.
Regarding Aurora's victory over BetBoom Team, Ahilles emphasized that the team skillfully utilized Largo, who had recently become available for picking in tournaments. On the night of January 21-22, Valve added the hero to Captain's Mode.
In conclusion, the scout commented on the showdown between Team Liquid and MOUZ. For both teams, Timur highlighted unconventional picks and player actions during the laning phase. The outcome of the match was decided only on the third map, where Nisha's team proved stronger, closing the series in their favor and advancing to the tournament's upper bracket semifinal.
