PGL Wallachia season five was the last pit stop before the Dota 2 pro season reaches its peak with the EWC 2025, followed by The International 14. This tournament was the last chance for all the top teams to get some practice in against the very best before squaring off against them on the biggest stages of the season.
Featuring a prize pool of $1,000,000, PGL Wallachia S5 gave the teams everything to fight for. Additionally, teams that secured a good position in this tournament will have an edge in qualifying for the next season, scheduled for later in November.
