Elias Ranefur was bottom of the table after first day and nearly didn’t even qualify for the playoffs but after a real gun fight he was last man standing. Icredible!
Winning four staright wins and then in the playoffs beating Devos and Berglund with 3-0 in semfinals and Finals. What an achivement from the Swede who really pulled off what is called “A great escape”
This also means Elias Ranefur is the only player so far who have won two events of Pro Series!
CONGRATS ELIAS RANEFUR!
