The uncrowned king of The International, Ame, is back for another attempt to win the coveted Aegis of Champions. After a year-long hiatus, culminating in a disappointing performance at TI11, Ame believed in himself once again and began his return to professional Dota 2. Soon after, three key players from Azure Ray joined Ame at Xtreme Gaming to help him reach the top again. The team has won several titles over the year, including a win at Clavision: Snow Ruyi, and is heading to The International 2024 as one of the favorites.

Xtreme Gaming not only have a strong core of Ame, but also a unique player at position 4 - XinQ. His aggressive playstyle, wide hero pool and ability to dominate the early stages of the game make him an irreplaceable asset to the team. Xtreme Gaming prefer to play on the current meta, prioritising a fast pace. TI13 could be the last chance for Ame to finally write his name in Dota 2 history, and fans are looking forward to a possible grand final between Ame and Yatoro.

Being a dominant team throughout the season comes with a price, and the Gaimin Gladiators have learned that lesson. In 2023, members of the European team won all three majors and took six trophies, becoming favorites to win The International. However, at TI12, the team lost to Team Spirit in the final 3:0, which was an unexpected and painful defeat for them. After that, a period of difficulties began: changes in patches and opponents' strategies started to affect their game, and the team started to lose their former form.

Despite these setbacks, the Gaimin Gladiators decided not to change the roster but to work on rebuilding team chemistry. They abandoned their traditional boot camp approach, but before the Riyadh Masters, they changed their tactics and held a training camp at a mansion in the UK, which helped them return to form and win the tournament. Now heading into TI13, the team realize the importance of hard work and adapting to a new meta, and if they can pull all the elements together, nothing will stop them from achieving their ultimate dream.

A very close match is expected, and for the Gladiators, it is the first serious test because Ame will fight like a Lion at TI.
