Mystic Greg is back, for now I am 4-1 (PV lost to Team Yandex with that TB pick). Let's see if Aurora can win against LGD.Gaming.

Malr1ne come and save this team......Jesus Christ Liquid looks like paper without a good midlaner.

Everything went according to the play, BUT Goddamn NAVI…man, how they threw that map 2 is something to be studied.

Veni, vidi, vici

It looks like skiter didn't carry Aurora to the win.....

Hits that felt good:

• Called Xtreme 2-0 over Nemesis (that support duo is ridiculous, you can missplay as a core and still feel safe)
• Called the LGD upset over NAVI (exactly as expected — once it went late NAVI’s decision-making fell apart, Suma1L baited the whole squad into Black Hole + Doom)
• Yandex 2-0 1win (still the big bad bully of the tournament, Chira_Junior silenced a lot of people)

The one that got away:

• Aurora vs GamerLegion → went with GL. Why do I keep trusting them… and why do they keep giving RCY Largo from mid?

Overall still solid. Xtreme and Yandex look very consistent right now, and LGD is becoming genuinely dangerous once they stabilize.

Day 2 record: 6-2

Hits that felt good:

• Called Xtreme over Conventus
• Called NAVI over Aurora
• Yandex 2-0 Nemesis (ATF is back and it’s not even funny)
• LGD just ran over GamerLegion with SumaiL mid

The two that got away:

• PlayTime vs Cobra → went with PlayTime, Parker just dismantled them
• Yakult vs Pips+4 → coinflip that went the wrong way

Overall still solid. Yandex looks like the team to beat right now and LGD is becoming very dangerous.

Day 1 record: 7-1 The one that got away:
1win vs Nemesis — I had 1win, they lost 1-2. Shad invisible on Lifestealer, 33 AFK Doom, SabeRLight dismantling 1Win on DP offlane. Unbelievable. Goddamn 1win.

Hits:

• Xtreme 2-0 Pibbles
• NAVI 2-0 Hokori
• Conventus 2-1 PlayTime
• GamerLegion 2-0 Cobra
• Aurora 2-1 Pips+4
• LGD 2-1 Yakult
• Yandex 2-1 MOUZ

Feeling good overall. Who else is tracking picks?

I feel like PT has the same ex-LGD issues where they just can't close the games, I swear to God.

PGL Wallachia Season 9 Match Predictions
All the predictions and matches are available here: https://www.dota2protips.com/tournaments/pgl-wallachia-season-9

I can see a BIG change of playstyle from Mid-game to early game aggression. They don't have any greedy core.

PGL Wallachia Season 9 is being moved to 19 September.

In the meantime, I decided to do the predictions for European Pro League Season 40
