PGL has won the race for top teams at the start of 2027, according to reports. Leading squads have reportedly picked PGL's Bucharest event over BLAST Bounty Winter.

At the same time, claims have emerged that BLAST has been late with payments. These reports are unconfirmed, and the available information does not say who the delays affect.

There is no direct link to the Macedonian esports scene in the available information about either event. We will follow the story and update if confirmations or official statements appear.
