Interesting Facts

During the games, all participants wore special bracelets on their hands, which measured the pulse and displayed it in the form of a graph available for viewing by the audience ^[9] .
All played games are available for viewing on the official website with comments in 4 languages: English, Chinese, German and Russian. The option without comment using the camera ^[10] is also available.
In the match of the second semi-final of the lower bracket, which took place before one victory (best of 1), between the Russian guys from Moscow5 and the Chinese mastadons of that time - EHOME, a very unpleasant bug occurred, namely Gem of True Sight did not work - it did not give an overview on “Invisible guards” (wards). As a result, the Chinese saw the movement of the opponent, but he did not suspect about it.
