After a disappointing end to the season for Tundra Esports in the form of a 13-16th place finish at The International 2023. The organisation made the decision to drop its European Dota 2 roster. For a long time it was unknown whether Tundra would remain in Valve's esports discipline or not. But on the 10th of December, one day before the Long Conner ESL One Kuala Lumpur 2023, the management of the organisation announced the signing of a new team. It was Team Undying, the North American squad that was fired by TSM on the 5th of December. Thus, Tundra Esports has secured its participation in a major tournament from ESL. In the ESL One Kuala Lumpur 2023: North America Closed Qualifier, the team confidently defeated Fart Studios and Bammysoy 2-0, and in the top grid final Whitemon and his teammates defeated nouns in a full bo3 series.

The team also made it to DreamLeague Season 22: Western Europe Open Qualifier #1, defeating such teams as Nightshade Esports, 5STARS Esports and Flawless. An attempt to qualify for the BetBoom Dacha Dubai 2024: WEU Closed Qualifier ended in a three-map loss to OG in the deciding game.

The team then went on to win the ESL One Birmingham 2024: Western Europe Closed Qualifier. A 9th-10th place finish at DreamLeague Season 22 secured $25,000 in prize money for the players.

Xtreme Gaming uniforms
The current roster of Xtreme Gaming was formed at the end of December last year, when the management of the organisation decided to renew its roster due to unsatisfactory 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.

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.

A 3-1 victory in the rematch brought the team the championship and the top prize of $300,000.

Predicted result of the match Tundra Esports - Xtreme Gaming
Based on the results of yesterday's match, it seems that the Chinese are starting to get back to their usual form. Let's bet on the victory of the Xtreme Gaming team.
Tundra Esports is the 11th team in the world ranking. They performed extremely well in the qualifications for all events. They qualified for ESL One Birmingham and PGL Wallachia Season 1 from the 1st place. Problems arose only in the final qualifications for DreamLeague Season 23, where in the final the guys lost to Liquid 2 0, but to their luck there were 2 slots and they safely pass to the tournament from 2nd place. They got to Elite League by direct invites. Played in the end on the 8th place.
Xtreme Gaming - 2nd team of the world ranking. Quite a new squad, but very promising. The lineup 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.
XG completely dropped out of the Dota world right after winning the tournament. In six matches played, they only won on one map. Fora Tundra is a very worthy option for me.
