XXS hospitalized, xiao8 will play as offlaner for Xtreme Gaming
Xtreme Gaming will play at ESL Challenger China Season 3 with a stand-in — instead of Xxs, the team will be joined by coach xiao8.
The main offlaner felt unwell on April 29 and was hospitalized. On the recommendation of doctors, he will miss the tournament, so the club had to urgently look for a replacement.
As a result, xiao8 will return to the third position — one of the most experienced players on the Chinese scene, who has long since moved into the role of coach but is ready to cover the position when necessary.
The Xtreme Gaming lineup for the tournament:
- Ame
- NothingToSay
- xiao8 (stand-in)
- fy
- xNova
With their full roster, the team recently played at PGL Wallachia Season 8, where they placed 9–11th, but now are forced to readjust right before the tournament.
ESL Challenger China Season 3 will take place from May 1 to 3 in Shanghai. Eight teams will compete for $172,000 and a slot at Esports Nations Cup 2026.
