Opening the year 2025 by closing 2024 with the Grand Prix Finale…
Next week, in Karlsruhe 
, the cream of this year’s European Go will fight in a 6 rounds+ tournament. The players all qualified during the year by winning Grand Prix tournaments or placing well to earn qualification points!
Now, they will eliminate each-others in pools with no mercy. 
Here are the players from the D group, and first round! Prepare your bets! 
Benjamin Dréan-Guénaïzia 7d 
Michael Cheung 5d
“Ben0”, the fresh French Champion, go teacher and reading monster, will face one of UK’s strongests and challengers in this event – Michael, also a teacher and streamer!
Who will stand singing at the end of the match? 
Valerii Krushelnytskyi 7d Alessandro Pace 5d
In this other 7d-5d duel, the master of pizza-suji, Alessandro, will defy the Ukrainian top-star Valerii, who’s already aiming at more impressive results in the coming year. A pure fight of minds to take place on the goban…will even one mistake be permitted? A doubt? A shaking hand? Nope.
The games will be broadcasted online on KGS and commented by Tanguy Le Calvé 1p from Saturday on the EGF Twitch!
All info and more to come…
