“The Red”, a powerful team from Russia, drew attention as much as growing skills of Russian users. Specially, many people concerned with the game have high expectations for it as it might be the barometer showing the potential of growth in Europe. However, it lost to Vietnam team “Freedom Gaming” in the first match of the group stage falling short of the expectations. In danger of being eliminated at the group stage, “The Red” showed awesome concentration to turn the table. It won the loser's match and paid back "Freedom Gaming" at the last match making a clean victory to enter the tournament. It went out of the tournament narrowly, but the Russian energy it showed at the group stage was not something one can look down on.
