The contestants
The highlight game of round 1 was the battle between Gu Li and Lee Changho both are very experienced players that once dominated the go arena, however both players are also in a slump. Lee Changho even had to play from the open qualification to reach the main stage. Maybe Lee was motivated. He played well and won the game by resignation (it was a close game though)
