Hello All,
I still need to wrap up Season 6 and send out prizes. Hope for your understanding - there are important things and things that are more important. The more important thing in this case is helping refugees from #UA
Before closing Season 6, however, I decided to announce Eliminations for Season 7. The reason is, the pre-qualifiers have been held on March 4-7 and results are overdue. Also, the Eliminations start next weekend (Friday-Monday, March 18-21) and all players should know where they are and whom they face.
Champions League Group Phase
The following players start Season 7 directly in the Group Phase:
@matthew1 - Defending Champion
@sandraa1 - Consolation Cup Winner
@manuvert - highest ranked player
@merthin - 2nd highest ranked player
@browery - 3rd highest ranked player
@masoom - 4th highest ranked player
The above order determines their group seeding:
Group A: @matthew1
Group B: @sandraa1
Group C: @manuvert,
@masoom
Group D: @merthin,
@browery
They can rest and prepare till the first weekend of April.
