The recent match between Aurora Gaming and Parivision at PGL Wallachia Season 4 saw unexpected drama unfold as Aurora Gaming's support player, Miroslav "Mira" Kolpakov, shed light on the technical pause that ultimately led to their decision to forfeit the game.
The pivotal moment occurred during the third game of the Bo3 upper bracket semifinal when Nightfall encountered a critical bug. The bug, related to the Devil's Bargain facet, caused a 40% cost increase instead of the intended 20%, rendering Nightfall unable to buyback despite having what appeared to be sufficient gold according to the in-game information. Although Valve swiftly addressed the glitch during the live game, the impact on the ongoing match was irreversible. Following an extensive pause lasting nearly 1.5 hours, Aurora Gaming made the difficult choice to exit the server, citing unsatisfactory responses from the tournament admins.
PGL Wallachia Season 4, taking place in Bucharest from April 19 to 27, has attracted top-tier teams vying for a lucrative million-dollar prize pool. Aurora Gaming's premature departure from the upper bracket has relegated them to the lower bracket, where they are set to face Tundra in the upcoming match. Meanwhile, Parivision secures their spot in the winners' final, gearing up to clash with Liquid in a high-stakes showdown.
