Xtreme Gaming Form
Xtreme Gaming's current 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. On the whole, the new XGs look extremely decent compared to last year's results. The team won the Elite League championship and earned the top prize of $300,000.
Earlier Xtreme Gaming took part in ESL One Birmingham 2024. The first game day of the group stage came as a shock to both fans of the Chinese club and the average ESL viewer. Xtreme Gaming first Ledgeili OG, and then failed to defeat Heroic. However, then the Chinese managed to rehabilitate themselves and finished the group stage with a 2-1-2 result. This performance forced the players to take part in a series of bo1 tiebreakers for 2nd-5th place in Group B. There Xtreme Gaming defeated Heroic and Team Spirit, but Ledge and Tundra Esports. The third place in the group took the team to the bottom of the play-offs grid. In the first round of the play-offs XG lost to G2.iG in a full bo3 series and finished their participation in the tournament. The 7th-8th places provided the players with $47,500 in prize money.
The group stage of PGL Wallachia Season 1 went perfectly for Xtreme Gaming. The team scored three 2-0 victories over BOOM Esports, Team Liquid and Aurora, which ensured the Chinese players' entry into the play-offs. In the quarter-finals of the top flight, Xtreme Gaming outlasted G2.iG on two maps in a row.
Statistics of Xtreme Gaming's latest results:
- 2-0 win over G2.iG
- Victory over Aurora 2:0
- 2:0 win over Team Liquid
- 2:0 win over BOOM Esports

Team Spirit uniforms
The International 2021 champions started last season with a second place finish at DPC EEU 2023 Tour 1: Division I and BetBoom Universe: Episode I - Comics Zone, which earned them $28,000 and $25,000 respectively. The team also earned the right to play at Lima Major 2023, the first Major tournament of the year. The 7th-8th place at Lima Major 2023 is hard to call a good result for such a team, but Miposhka and his teammates fulfilled the minimum programme, earning $12,500 and DPC points. Silver in the DPC EEU 2023 Tour 2: Division I allowed Team Spirit to earn $28,000 and ranking points, as well as a trip to Berlin for the Major event. Before travelling to Germany, Spirit finished in 9th-10th place at DreamLeague Season 19, the first tournament of the ESL Pro Tour Dota 2 2023 series, and won $25,000. At ESL One Berlin Major 2023, the team fell short, as a 9th-12th place finish in the standings did not earn them any honours. Team Spirit won the final round of the regional league, winning all of their matches. Thus, Miposhka and his team earned the grand prize of $30,000, DPC points and a trip to Bali Major 2023. In between ranking tournaments, Spirit played at DreamLeague Season 20, where they finished in the top 5 and received $52,500. But in Bali the players had the same bad luck as in Berlin. Once again 9th-12th place and no winnings. The final tournament of the ESL Pro Tour Dota 2 2023 series was the Riyadh Masters 2023, a LAN championship held in Riyadh, the capital of Saudi Arabia, which had the biggest prize money of the year, namely $15,000,000. The win secured Team Spirit $5,000,000 in prize money. Also, the championship at DreamLeague Season 21 brought the players $300,000. And at the end of the year, Spirit became two-time world champions by winning The International 2023 and earning the top prize of $1,521,362. The team failed to qualify for ESL One Kuala Lumpur 2023. The 2024th Long Season started for Yatoro and his teammates by qualifying for DreamLeague Season 22. The team was also able to successfully qualify for ESL One Birmingham 2024. At BetBoom Dacha Dubai 2024 Spirit finished in the top 6 and earned $45,000. Fourth place at DreamLeague Season 22 provided the players with another $85,000 in prize money. But the team failed to qualify for DreamLeague Season 23. 13-14th place at Elite League brought Team Spirit $30,000.

On the final day Spirit once again drew with OG and were forced to play in a series of bo1 tiebreakers. After losing all three matches, Team Spirit left the tournament in 9th-10th place and earned $30,000.

Predicted result of the match Xtreme Gaming - Team Spirit
Statistically, the Chinese have been performing stronger than their opponents lately, and at this tournament they show a slightly better game. Let's bet on the victory of the team Xtreme Gaming.
Xtreme Gaming is the 3rd team in the world rankings. The roster includes Ame, Xm, Xxs, XinQ and Dy by position respectively. Not very impressive at BB Dacha, playing on 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. But for some reason they failed in the next tournament. Out of 12 positions, they only made it to 8th. Very unstable.
Team Spirit is the 9th team in the world ranking. I will not describe much, we all know and understand who Spirit are. BB Dacha Dubai guys turned out to be pretty good. Played for the 5th place. DreamLeague Season 22 was a little more successful. They reached the 4th place. Elite League was not bright at all. As a result, we were only on the 13th place, which is quite sad for such a level of the team. The next tournament was also not successful. We played ESL One Birmingham 2024 to a modest 10th place.
The most interesting confrontation of the day. Spirit is in tone, XG judging by their confident gait at the tournament too. I think we are in for an extremely interesting battle that will go the whole distance.
I am a prognosticator, I live only for this. I devote all my time to it. There are no other interests.
I have been doing my activity for quite a long time and have achieved some success in it. Whether to believe me or not is up to everyone. But why not give it a try? Maybe you like this kind of life!
