2023 European Championship - Dortmund 26th-29th October

Russians and Belarusians allowed to play again.

Expect Bialecki, Pratnemer and Sedlak to dominate these

Wonder what these criteria are for Russians and Belarusians to participate in these are--Koltsov was able to compete on the ProTour last year so I guess he'll be able to compete in these?
Bialecki was the clear #2 in those qualifiers last year behind Evil Charlie (other than in qualifying for the Hungarian and Czech events I'm not sure anyone else managed to come through that qualifier), so I'd expect him and Koltsov to be the two big guns in the region, wouldn't surprise me if one or both managed to qualify for the Euros

On a related note, I saw that the PDC made no mention of the EADC in their rulebook which was published recently--has that now ceased to exist? Is the Worlds spot now closed to Russians and Belarusians or are they going to be allowed back in again, perhaps in a similar qualifier under similar conditions to the Euro Tour ones?

Any predictions for 2023?

Will we see another Lukeman story emerge?
Will the cream rise like last year?
Who will be in the shitheap after 13 events?

There will be a surprise finalist at one of these but I'd expect the usual to be near the top of the rankings

If Kovács wins even only one qualifier, lots of will be seething again.
