Trivia[edit]

The Kiev Major is the first Valve-sponsored event held in a CIS country.
With DDC failing to qualify, MiSeRy becomes the only player to attend every single Valve event as an active player. UNiVeRsE has also attended every Valve event, but was only a substitute at The International 2011.
This is the first time ever in a Valve-sponsored event that a Brazilian organization or player(s) are attending.
GH is the first Lebanese player to attend a Valve-sponsored event.
