Ali Jabarin (IL, 1p) wins the 2017 Grand Prix Finale in Olomuc (CZ); great achievement by Oscar VazquezThe Grand Prix Finale is a tournament in which only the 16 best players in the 2017 Grand Prix season ranking can compete. Like the F1 Grand Prix, the "Grand Prix" organized by the European Go Federation awards points according to the 6 best placed players in some 2017 European tournaments (some - big - tournaments weights more than - small - others). The grand Prix Finale was organized in 2 steps: firstly, the 16 players played against each others in 4 groups of 4 players. The 2 best of each division are qualified for a K-O tournament. In the preliminary rounds, 2 of the 7 pros (Lisy and Kravets) were suprisingly eliminated. The feat was the qualification of "our" Oscar Vazquez (a mere 5-d). Finally, Ali Jabarin won the final against Artem Kachanovskij. Complete results here: http://www.olgo.cz/en/clanky/2017/grand-prix-final-2017-olomouc/
