Updated: Tournament organizers for PGL Wallachia Season 3 have allowed a restart of the second map in the match between Aurora Gaming and Yellow Submarine. The issue arose when Nightfall and Mira mistakenly swapped their intended heroes. The players have now corrected their picks, and the match has resumed.
