Dear players,
The 256 slots for the 2021 Aussie Open have filled up with more than a month before the official start! Well done and good choice!
Players can see now their round 1 group competitors and all the tournament groups and players on this worksheet: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/15_r_piGEfnj-TU39_uWLP5qaju0OS71eFEZ-3UZVkIo/edit?pli=1#gid=1478461313
A few comments after the seeding:
First round's "Death Group" seems to be Group 8, which looks particularly difficult with JeJenan, DJParsons and the 2020 winner (treitze) in the same group !!! A tall task to qualify for the next round for Fall87 - the 4th player in this group, but not impossible.
The highest-seeded player is LaoHuang with 60 exp and the lowest-seeded player is Praetorianer at 46. The player with the lowest experience is Chris_Bray @ 14. Good luck!!
danodan - one of last year's semi-finalists and the last year's great surprise is in a tough group (22) and starts again as the underdog...
Last year's other finalists: silent_x111, tomaszchwiszczuk and pajada face difficult draws in groups 3, 55 and 62 and should silent_x111 and pajada win their groups, they'll meet again in the next round...
Hope you'll enjoy the tournament and thank you for participating.
