EUROPEANS FORM PRO LEAGUE
Published on 9/13/2010
Twenty of Europe's top players have decided to form
The European Professional Go Organization
, in partnership with
EuroGoTV
, according to a press release that followed a meeting at this year's European Go Congress. The founders include four players with Asian pro certification --
Guo Juan
5P,
Catalin Taranu 5P
,
Alexandre Dinerchtein 3P
and
Diana Koszegi 1P
-- along with sixteen other top players. EPGO will organize a yearlong European Professional Go League, resulting in annual certification certification of 12 EPGO "pros." As we understand it, this will differ from the semi-permanent certification process in Japan, China and Korea. Pros will have to re-earn their status each year or face decertification.
