Top Teams At PGL Wallachia Season 6
Below are our picks of the three top Dota 2 teams at PGL Wallachia Season 6, based on past performances at top-tier events, expected player form, and the post-TI roster shuffle.
Tundra Esports
With the legendary two-time TI-winning offlaner Neta “33” Shapira leading the charge, the sky’s the limit for Tundra Esports. The team came out of the post-TI break swinging, claiming a top spot in the BLAST Slam IV Group Stage with an impressive 9-2 record.
During the post-TI roster shuffle, Tundra made a series of exciting changes that are already paying dividends. The organization welcomed back carry player Ivan “Pure” Moskalenko (who was instrumental to their 3rd-place finish at TI13) to replace Remco “Crystallis” Arets.
The second change saw former OG and Team Liquid star Matthew “Ari” Walker step in for Martin “Saksa” Sazdov in the support role. With these upgrades and the team’s strong track record, Tundra Esports looks primed for another deep run at PGL Wallachia Season 6.
Tundra Esports roster:
- Ivan “Pure” Moskalenko
- Bozhidar “bzm” Bogdanov
- Neta “33” Shapira (Captain)
- Matthew “Ari” Walker
- Matthew “Whitemon” Filemon
- David “MoonMeander” Tan (Coach)
Team Spirit
Despite crashing out early at TI14, Team Spirit remains one of the strongest Dota 2 teams. The squad made only one roster change during the post-TI shuffle, replacing Yaroslav “Miposhka” Naidenov with ex-Aurora Gaming support player Nikita “panto” Balaganin, taking up the mantle of captain.
Carry superstar Illya “Yatoro” Mulyarchuk says there’s “good synergy building” between panto and coach Airat “Silent” Gaziev, signaling strength and confidence. It wouldn’t be Team Spirit’s first win, having claimed the inaugural title last year by beating Xtreme Gaming 3-2 in the Grand Final.
Team Spirit roster:
- Illya “Yatoro” Mulyarchuk
- Denis “Larl” Sigitov
- Magomed “Collapse” Khalilov
- Aleksandr “Rue” Filin
- Nikita “panto” Balaganin (Captain)
- Airat “Silent” Gaziev (Coach)
Aurora Gaming
With only a few S-Tier events left for the year, Aurora Gaming is forcing their way into the conversation thanks to a recent improvement in form and high-impact roster changes.
On October 8, Aurora benched Gleb “kiyotaka” Zyryanov and Nikita “panto” Balaganin, with panto joining Team Spirit shortly thereafter. They also welcomed back veteran support Chan “Oli” Chon Kien, while midlaner Rafli “Mikoto” Fathur Rahman was upgraded from stand-in to complete the new roster.
These changes had a significant impact, with Aurora making it to the BLAST Slam IV Playoffs, defeating Tundra Esports along the way and showcasing resilience to reverse sweep NAVI in the Play-In Stage.
Aurora Gaming roster:
- Egor “Nightfall” Grigorenko
- Rafli “Mikoto” Fathur Rahman
- Alexander “TORONTOTOKYO” Khertek
- Myroslav “Mira” Kolpakov
- Chan “Oli” Chon Kien
- Sergei “G” Bragin (Coach)
