Saadzin on PGL Masters Bucharest 2025: “There isn’t a team here far above the rest”

Legacy’s AWPer Guilherme “saadzin” Pacheco believes the CS2 field at PGL Masters Bucharest 2025 is unusually even. Speaking in Bucharest after Legacy split their opening two matches, he said the scene is “very stacked” and that “we don’t have, at this tournament, a team that is much better than others — maybe Aurora, they are a good one.” He added that Legacy are approaching the event “game by game,” the same mindset they used en route to their recent title in China. 

The focus, saadzin emphasized, is on winning rounds rather than chasing stats. “I don’t care about stats… If you get 13 rounds, that’s it. I just want to win, I don’t want to have the best stats in the game,” he told HLTV in Romania. 

Legacy opened Bucharest with a 1–2 loss to Liquid before bouncing back with a 2–0 win over Gentle Mates, keeping their playoff hopes alive. 

Event snapshot: PGL Masters Bucharest 2025 is a 16-team LAN in Romania with a $1.25M prize pool, running October 24 – November 2, 2025, according to the organizer. HLTV’s event primer also details the prize split and schedule.
