After the preliminaries were done, the remaining players began the final week of the ADC Global Championship last week. Petersen then managed to be the first player to qualify for the final day. 'The African Warrior' was then joined by Adam Mould, Shane Hayward, Charlie Martin, Marvin van Velzen and Gary Stone.
