First Swiss group stage Fantasy game of the year set to start with PGL Cluj-Napoca
The first of two Fantasy games to take place during PGL Cluj-Napoca 2025, the group stage, is now open.

PGL Cluj-Napoca 2025 (Group Stage)
- You can create your teams on the Fantasy page, here.
- This game is only for the group stage. A different game will be created for the playoffs after the group stage concludes.
Format
- 16-team Swiss group stage.
- All matches are best-of-three (BO3).
Teams
Things to note
- Players from teams advancing to the playoffs with a 3-0 record will receive two rounds worth of padding, and teams advancing with a 3-1 record will get one round's worth.
- Team performance becomes less important in Swiss play relative to single-elimination brackets or even double-elimination brackets, although it still matters as winning generally puts players in a better position to earn points.
Player prices
- Imperial Valkyries players are priced in the $150,000 to $155,000 range due to being massive underdogs and because the Chicken Out booster is not as viable of a strategy in a Swiss group as it is in other tournament formats since every team will play a minimum of three BO3s.
- David "frozen" Čerňanský, Helvijs "broky" Saukants, and Jonathan "EliGE" Jablonowski, despite having relatively low ratings in recent times, are still manually adjusted to be gold cards. FaZe's fragging core are set to face weaker opposition due to the absence of the top four teams in the world and are therefore expected to bring more value as members of one of the favorite teams to win the event.
- Ludvig "Brollan" Brolin’s price was lowered to adjust for his potential decline in performance due to his shift to in-game leadership. His teammates' prices, meanwhile, were increased, as MOUZ are still favorites to make it out of the group stage.
Prizes
- The PGL Cluj-Napoca 2025 group stage Fantasy game will have both Season points and the following skin prizes, courtesy of Chicken.GG:
1. Hydra Gloves | Mangrove (Field-Tested)
2. AK-47 | Neon Rider (Field-Tested)
3. M4A1-S | Atomic Alloy (Field-Tested)
- Lucy "LucyLuce" Eastwood doesn’t miss an opportunity to pick an Imperial Valkyries player and explains her thought process in a video on her YouTube channel.
