MLily Cup

The MLily Cup (Chinese: 梦百合杯), officially the MLily Meng Baihe Cup World Go Open Tournament[1] (Chinese: 梦百合杯世界围棋公开赛) is an international Go tournament.

[1] The 1st MLily Cup was won by 17-year-old Mi Yuting, his first international title, defeating Gu Li.

[2][3] The 2nd MLily Cup champion was 18-year-old Ke Jie, his third world championship within a span of one year.

[1][4][5] In the 3rd MLily Cup, the organizers included Japanese Go AI DeepZenGo as a participant, a move which attracted some controversy; it was the first time a computer program was ever invited to an international Go tournament.

Both finalists Mi Yuting and Xie Ke were Chinese, which helped avoid difficulties with international travel.
