Former OG coach revealed the secret behind Xtreme Gaming’s incredible performance at TI14

Mikhail "Misha" Agatov, former OG coach, said that Xtreme Gaming is winning The International 2025 because they saved their energy and strategy all season long to show themselves at the tournament.

He said this during a Twitch stream.

"Xtreme Gaming knows the truth that young players have forgotten. And the truth is that you need to save your energy and sweat for the main tournament of the year, no matter how big the prize pool is. Xtreme is really the only team that saved their energy and didn't sweat too much all season long.

Everyone thought they were idiots, but they didn't CWs, they didn't discuss it until The International came and they were **** fresh and energetic. You just look at them and it's obvious. They're **** fresh, they seem to love Dota more than anyone else. And this is achieved by the fact that the old guard remembers how big tournaments are won. So I think the old guard just remembered how to do business"

Misha explained that Ame team consists of veterans of the Dota 2 pro scene, which gave them an advantage. According to him, they did not strain themselves much during the season, did not show their strength during scrims, and now they are full of strength and charged for victory, unlike other teams.

It is worth noting that Xtreme Gaming shows incredible play and managed to get to the playoffs 4-0, without a single defeat.

Recall that earlier Yatoro let it slip that Team Spirit has already tested three players for the team.
