Three players from Azure Ray will move to Xtreme Gaming
The trio of Azure Ray players Zhao XinQ Zixing, Guo Xm Hongcheng and Lin Xxs Jing will join with Wang Ame Chunyu and Ding Dy Cong to form a new Xtreme Gaming roster. This information was confirmed by XinQ, he also mentioned that such plans have been hatched for a long time.
"XinQ: "As far as I know things will go as we planned before, which probably means me, Xxs and Xm will leave AR to join XG. Even tho we never talked about it in public but everyone involved in it all knows that we will make this change after ESL Kuala Lumpur. But then it got out and everyone all knows about it, so it’s kinda awkward for us now. About how to deal with the ept point AR got from ESL Kuala Lumpur we will follow ESL’s rule, I don’t really care if we have to go through qualifier or not".
ESL's decision on EPT points is key in this situation, as Azure Ray's roster is now at the top of the ranking, but the team will have to sign 3 new players. XinQ notes that Xtreme Gaming will be pretty eager to play the qualifiers, but Lu lou Zhen and Jiang tian ming An may also head to the qualifiers. Incidentally, Azure Ray also made 3 lineup changes after The International 2023 and received an invitation to ESL One: Kuala Lumpur 2023 where it managed to place first.
Azure Ray's current roster:
- Lu lou Zhen;
- Jiang tian ming An
Xtreme Gaming's new lineup:
- Wang Ame Chunyu;
- Guo Xm Hongcheng;
- Lin Xxs Jing;
- Zhao XinQ Zixing;
- Ding Dy Tsong.
As reported by Cyberscore, Azure Ray secured a 0-2 win over Gaimin Gladiators to advance to the finals after winning ESL One: Kuala Lumpur 2023.
