Xtreme Gaming Form
The current Xtreme Gaming roster was formed at the end of December last year, when the organisation's management decided to revamp their roster due to poor results. The first professional event for the new Xtreme Gaming was BetBoom Dacha Dubai 2024. There Dy and his teammates took 7th-8th place in the standings and earned $35,000 as a reward. Victory at Games of the Future 2024 provided the players with $350,000 in prize money. Xtreme Gaming then took part in DreamLeague Season 22, where they won the bronze medal. Such a performance guaranteed the Chinese team $120,000. In general, the new XGs look extremely decent compared to last year's results.
The previous professional tournament for Xtreme Gaming was the Elite League. The Chinese club received a direct invitation to the second group stage, bypassing the first group stage, which was held under the Swiss system. In Group B Xtreme Gaming performed with the statistics 2-5-0, not losing a single match. This result ensured the team's second place in the group and a passage to the top of the play-offs. In the first match, Dy and his teammates Ledge and Team Falcons fell to the losers in two matches in a row. XG defeated their compatriots from PSG Quest 2-0 in the quarter-finals of the lower grid, and in the semi-finals they outlasted Team Liquid in a full bo3 series. The lower grid final against Azure Ray ended with a 2-1 win for Xtreme Gaming. In the grand finals, the Chinese faced Team Falcons once again. A 3-1 victory in the rematch brought the team the championship and the top prize of $300,000.

OG Form
It would be logical to start the history of the current OG core from November last year. Then the team updated the roster to participate in ESL One Kuala Lumpur 2023 Western Europe Closed Qualifier, where they took the fourth place and failed to qualify for the LAN. The beginning of 2024 marked the qualification season for various major tournaments. First, OG qualified for BetBoom Dacha Dubai 2024 by winning the Western Europe Closed Qualifier. The team also picked up a victory at DreamLeague Season 22: Western Europe Closed Qualifier. And the silver medal at the ESL One Birmingham 2024: Western Europe Closed Qualifier secured a trip to England for the LAN Championship. BetBoom Dacha Dubai 2024 ended with Ceb and his teammates in 9th-12th place, which earned the team $20,000 in prize money. A sixth place finish in the DreamLeague Season 22 standings also added $47,500 to the European organisation's coffers. After that, OG were one step away from participating in DreamLeague Season 23, having taken the third place in qualification. Silver at the PGL Wallachia Season 1: Western Europe Closed Qualifier also prevented OG from going to the LAN tournament in Romania.
OG had previously competed in the Elite League. Team Long Sogpegoval in the first group stage, which was played under the Swiss system. On their way Ceb and Team Ledge only had Entity on two maps in the third round. The 3-1 statistic secured OG's advancement to the next stage of the tournament. In Group A OG could not achieve the desired result. The team played with the result 2-3-2 and took the fifth place in the group, which was not enough to participate in the play-offs. The 9th-10th place in the standings provided the players with $20,000 in prize money.
Statistics of the latest OG results:
- A 1-1 draw with Azure Ray
- A 1-1 draw with Heroic
- 2-0 win over Team Falcons
- 0:2 defeat to Team Spirit

Predicted result of the match Xtreme Gaming - OG
The Chinese are now in great playing form. If the team was able to acclimatise after the move, they have every chance to start their performance at the LAN-tournament with a win. Let's bet on the victory of Xtreme Gaming.
Xtreme Gaming is the 2nd team of the world ranking. Quite a new squad, but very promising. The roster includes Ame, Xm, Xxs, XinQ and Dy by position respectively. Not very impressive at BB Dacha, finishing a modest 8th place. But they did impress at DreamLeague Season 22. And once again they pleased their fans at Elite League. They managed to lift the championship trophy. Surprising.
OG is the 5th ranked team in the world. After missing The International 2023, the team decided not to change the squad and train with the already assembled one. The team consists of Yuragi, Bzm, Wisper, Ari and Ceb. The roster is strong enough as it is. And this is confirmed by the facts. They managed to qualify for the BB Dacha Dubai in the European region defeating Tundra 3 0 in the finals. Also had a great qualification for DreamLeague Season 22, being the strongest in Europe. But a little bit failed at the qualifications for ESL One Birmingham 2024, taking only the 2nd place, but alas not a slot for the tournament. BB Dacha was sad for the organisation. The guys fell out of the group stage and decided that the problem lurked in Yuragi. They sent him to the bench. At the Elite League was Timado. They finished 10th. The result suited them and here again Timado will help the team out.
OG have already shown how they can play with the reigning champions. I think they can take the map from the Chinese team.
I'm a prognosticator, that's what I do for a living. I devote all my time to it. No other interests.
I have been doing my activity for quite a long time and have achieved some success in it. It's up to everyone to believe me or not. But why not give it a try? Maybe you like this kind of life!
Prediction: +1.5 OG!
