According to Mark Napolitano, a host at the BetVictor Club, “In a League that started out being heavily dominated by Bulgarians, in the end they just failed to close the deal eventually finishing with a still impressive 4 top 20 finishers even though they only had about 6% of the total entries. Top Bulgarian was “gladius1” who finished as runner up.’
Romaniahad approximately 15% of the starting field and ended the month with 4 top 20 finishers after taking 3d and 4th spots in the inaugural League.
BetVictor revealed that it had been a very tough competition with the top ten finishers split by less than 50 points.

The second-place win of Euro 1,000 was earned by Gladius1 fromBulgaria.
