The tournament started yesterday but as soon as the tournament started, the problems started. During the first match of the tournament between The MongolZ and local team True Rippers Esports, the teams lost power for 3 hours. Their BO1 match went on for about 5 hours out of the scheduled 1.

After the first match it appeared that the players had their computers taken from their practice room and the managers were gathered together.
