Ame: "Beating Spirit was one of the happiest moments at TI13"
2024-09-13 13:34:00Xtreme Gaming players and their star carry Wang "Ame" Chunyu discussed The International 2024 before the final weekend. They shared that knocking out their rivals from Team Spirit gave them motivation to go further. The episode with Xtreme was shown on the official broadcast.
Ame: Until now, beating Spirit was one of the happiest moments.
Xxs: After the win versus Spirit, everyone was quite happy. Because we all felt that our performance wasn't particularly great at the event. Now, we had the opportunity to play in the arena and potentially reach higher placement. I think we will improve and try to secure it.
On the loss to Team Liquid
Ame: After losing to Liquid, we adjusted our lineups and playstyle.
Xxs: The worst moment has to be the second game against Liquid when we were crushed. I played Timbersaw and felt helpless even though we got first blood. And we got smashed with the score of 19:1. <...> Perhaps our mentality wasn't relaxed enough. Everyone was tense during the second game. We also made some changes to our approach to our hero pool.
As of writing, Xtreme is fighting Aurora Gaming. They lost to Team Liquid in the first round of the upper bracket and clashed against Team Spirit. The defending champions didn't stand up to the challenge and left the event after the 1:2 loss. Contrary to the opinions above, XinQ previously downplayed the win against their rivals.
