Indeed, the "winners" of the first competition a game hosts always have an astrix next to their name.
Dota 2 Ti1 - These teams were a big part of the pro Dota 1 scene for years and years and this tournament was held while the game was still in closed beta.
League of Legends 1st World Championship - Chinese and Korean teams weren't invited (they didn't even have the game in their region I think?) It was the only Worlds in which a Western team has won.
Hearthstone - The first official tournament, only NA players were invited who had closed beta access, there was no point system really either they just invited the 8 most popular people who played the game basically.
