PTG Database Analysis
PGL Bucharest 2027 is scheduled for January 17–24 in Bucharest, Romania. PGL’s October 8 announcement lists 14 direct invitees: Team Spirit, Legacy, Team Vitality, MOUZ, G2 Esports, Team Falcons, FURIA, FUT Esports, Aurora Gaming, Astralis, BetBoom Team, MIBR, B8 and Nemiga Gaming. Two additional places are to be decided through qualifiers.[1]
The event is run by PGL. Its announced total rewards are USD 1.4 million, comprising USD 1 million in winnings and USD 400,000 in VRS bonuses. 1xBet remains PGL’s exclusive betting partner across Counter-Strike 2 and Dota 2 events under an agreement running through 2029.[1][3]
PGL’s October announcement gives the tournament dates as January 17–24, while its ticket listing shows January 15–24. PTG records the detailed event announcement’s dates and notes the listing discrepancy. The official materials reviewed identify Bucharest but do not name an arena, so the venue is not assigned here.[1][2]
