Which Portuguese players are there? Zumi from Stars? Whoelse? Hope they reach far. It will be a date to remember the day a Portuguese players wins an event like EPT. Zumi is, in my opinion the most prepared to reach something like that, but nowadays there are so many online players with good skills that the new Portuguese star can appear from anywhere.
