Tobi temporarily replaces Team Liquid as captain to challenge PGL Wallachia Season 5

Team Liquid officially announced that captain iNsania will be absent from the group stage of PGL Wallachia Season 5, and Austrian player Tobi will take over as captain.

The event was officially launched on June 21 and is currently in full swing. According to the team's statement, Insania has temporarily taken leave due to personal reasons and is expected to return to the team after the group stage.

Tobi joined the team temporarily and fought alongside the team until the knockout stage. Although Team Liquid entered this season as the current Dota 2 world champions and won the PGL Wallachia S3 and S4 championships in March and April this year, the changes in this group stage still added variables to the battle.

It is worth mentioning that Team Liquid performed relatively steadily in other events except the PGL series this season, and did not show overwhelming dominance. This also made the outside world pay more attention to whether they can continue to maintain their strength on the PGL stage.

Insania is known for his steady command and tactical deployment, and this absence is undoubtedly a major test. Tobi has played for Entity and PSG Quest, and played as a substitute for Tundra Esports for a short time in 2023. He has rich experience in the Western European region.

However, this time Tobi needs to adapt to a new lineup and position. Whether he can quickly integrate and maintain Team Liquid's rhythm will determine the direction of the group stage. The PGL Wallachia S5 group stage will last until June 25, using a modified Swiss system.

The total prize money of the event is as high as 350,000 US dollars, and the champion will be born on June 29. As the last top event before the 2025 Dota 2 eSports World Cup, this battle has attracted the attention of fans around the world.
