The annual team competition, the Chinese C League, just started in Hangzhou, China, lasting from June 6 to 14. Europe is invited to play in the Tsinghua Weiqi Foundation Team.
Andrii Kravets 3p (Ukraine), Stanislaw Frejlak 2p (Poland), Benjamin Dréan-Guénaïzia 1p (France) and Tanguy Le Calvé 1p (France) will fight against 30 other teams in this 8 rounds event!

As each year, we are all impatient to see how our team is doing in this prestigious event, gathering 31 teams.
Last year, despite several successful games and one win against the South-East Asia Team, the final result of the European-Tsinghua team was not incredible (you can read here).

What is the Chinese League and why do Europeans play there?

For those who don't know, let's sum-up quickly what is the Chinese League about. Each year, this team (4 players) tournament takes place with a top division, the A League, and a B and C divisions. Top teams of each categories can climb to the upper category, and last teams would drop to the lower division. Most teams are from China, with sometimes guests from other Asian countries or, in our case, Europe.

For several years now, top European players have been invited by the Tsinghua Weiqi Foundation to play as a Team. As a matter of fact, the Tsinghua Weiqi Foundation is a big sponsor of our pros, financing the European Pro Championship as well.

This year, considering the very good games and improvements made by the players in the team this season, we have slightly higher expectations and hope to get a significant victory over a team of Chinese professionals!
