I don’t really know most of these players other than by name, so I’m voting for my friend Dan Gourdeau :slight_smile:

I think it’ll either be Eric Lui or Ryan Li. Too close to call, but I’ll give Eric the edge. Also is there an age limit to becoming an AGA pro? Since Yuan Zhou is quite a bit older than all the other contestants.

The games are being broadcast on KGS. I’ve had a hard time focusing on work because of it…my favorite to watch so far is Eric Lui, definitely rooting for him to take it.
