The MODUS Super Series Week Two delivered thrilling darts action on Friday, as five talented players – Lee Evans, Zvonimir Lesic, Berry Van Peer, Reece Colley, and Scott Campbell – successfully navigated their respective groups to earn a coveted spot in Saturday’s grand finale. They now join earlier qualifier Jack Drayton, with all six set to battle fiercely for the ultimate prize: a single highly sought-after place in the prestigious Champions Week.
The Road to the Final: Week Two Heats Up
The MODUS Super Series continued its intense Week Two competition, culminating in a dramatic Friday where players battled across two groups for a chance to advance. The format sees players compete in mini-leagues, with the top performers securing their places in the Saturday final. This week’s ultimate goal for the six finalists is to claim the sole spot available for the prestigious Champions Week, a high-stakes event featuring the best of the best.
Group C: Evans Dominates, Lesic Edges Through
Group C saw some incredibly close contests, but it was Belgium’s Lee Evans who ultimately topped the standings.
