As exciting as the staggering number of matches PGL will bring, we might end up seeing teams getting burnt out by a stacked schedule which might eventually lead to a drop in performances. We have yet to find out the teams participating in the event but given there are only four PGL events in 2025, we will find out how it fairs.
