The more Americans the merrier

PGL Cluj-Napoca talent lineup features five North Americans

Some of Counter-Strikes's most American analysts return to PGL.

PGL just announced the talent list for the upcoming PGL Cluj-Napoca tournament, which will run from February 14th to February 22nd. The event will feature five North Americans on the broadcast, the most of any tier-one event so far in 2026.

Alex "Mauisnake" Ellenberg will be on the desk for the second time this year after lending his skills to the BLAST Bounty Winter. He will share the desk with fellow American Dustin "⁠dusT⁠" Mouret, making his 2026 debut after working several PGL events in 2025.

Iconic Canadian casting duo Conner "⁠Scrawny⁠" Girvan and Mohan "⁠launders⁠" Govindasamy will be casting the event in Romania, a welcome return after their absence in Kraków. Jason "⁠moses⁠" O'Toole will also be casting the event, though he will do so remotely.

The analysts will be joined on the desk by hosts ⁠Richard Lewis⁠ and Sam "⁠Tech Girl⁠" Wright, as well as other analysts Janko "⁠YNk⁠" Paunović and Jacob "⁠Pimp⁠" Winneche. Chad "⁠SPUNJ⁠" Burchill and Alex "⁠Machine⁠" Richardson will be casting on site while ⁠Hugo⁠ Byron, Harry "⁠JustHarry⁠" Russell, and moses' co-caster Adam "⁠Dinko⁠" Hawthorne will be casting remotely.
