There isn't. But there is a cool international CSVN tournament 18-20 may where as far as i know everyone joins. My hope is that also shredder joins this time! Of course there are some counter arguments against this tournament also. It's just 90 0 level, which is not really comparable with 40 in 2 level. However this is no problem for me! I'm looking forward to this tournament!
