Trivia[edit]
- This was the first Valve-sponsored event that Puppey did not attend as a player, as Team Secret finished 4th in the Europe Qualifier. The same went for MMY, who was inactive at the time.
- MiSeRy and DDC became the only players to have attended every single Valve event as an active player. UNiVeRsE had also attended every Valve event, but was only a sub during The International 2011 while Hao attended the major, but only as a sub for Newbee.
- Jabz became the first Thai player to attend a Valve event since The International 2011.
