PGL Wallachia Season 9 matches and predictions for September 20

The second round of PGL Wallachia Season 9 takes place today. Eight BO3 series will divide the field into teams with 2-0, 1-1 and 0-2 records, making every match prediction especially important.

All times are in UTC, according to the tournament schedule.

Round 2 matches: 1-0 teams

07:00 UTC | Conventus Stellarum vs Xtreme Gaming
10:00 UTC | GamerLegion vs LGD Gaming
13:00 UTC | Aurora Gaming vs Natus Vincere
16:00 UTC | Team Yandex vs Team Nemesis

Aurora against NAVI is the main prediction matchup of the day. Aurora opened the tournament with a victory over Pipsqueak+4 in skiter’s first official series for the team, while NAVI defeated Hokori.

Team Yandex will face Team Nemesis after beating MOUZ. The winner will move to 2-0 and come within one series of reaching the playoffs, but the prediction is complicated by both teams’ rebuilt rosters.

Round 2 matches: 0-1 teams

07:00 UTC | PlayTime vs Team Cobra
10:00 UTC | 1win vs Hokori
13:00 UTC | Pipsqueak+4 vs Yakult Brothers
16:00 UTC | MOUZ vs Pibbles Corp

MOUZ and 1win enter the second day under early pressure. A defeat would leave either team with a 0-2 record and only one loss away from elimination.

These series may look more predictable on paper, but the opening round has already shown why every PGL Wallachia prediction should account for new rosters, recent form and patch 7.41f.

The Swiss stage continues until September 23, with three victories required to advance and three defeats leading to elimination. The tournament features 16 teams and a $1 million prize pool, according to the official PGL event page.
