Trivia
- This was, by far, the most successful tournament of DruggedFox's career. He beat Mango 2-1, SFAT 3-2, Colbol 3-2, and was eliminated in Losers Semis by Silent Wolf 2-3.
- Despite this, he made a post later regarding his overall negative experience with this event and past events in general, as well as the "ridiculous" social dynamics relating to high-level players.
- HTC eSports produced HTC One M9s with Team Liquid, Team SoloMid, and Cloud 9 logos emblazoned on the back of the phone. Ken, Leffen, and Mango each received a complimentary phone with their respective team logo.
