The Sydney GT saw 83 players vying to be crowned champion in a 5 game tournament. This event was held in Sydney, Australia and took place on the 22nd and 23rd April.

Before I jump into the Top Three, I wanted to remind everyone of our friendly Discord server where you can join in the conversation with the Woehammer crew and suggest articles or series for the website.
