The match between Tundra Esports and Xtreme Gaming should be one of the most exciting events of the second day of The International 2024 main stage. The match is scheduled for 14 September, 14:00 EEST. We analysed the statistics of both teams and made a prediction on the outcome of the upcoming match.

Current form

After a not-so-stable performance during the group stage, Tundra managed to find their stride and easily passed their opponents at the beginning of the playoffs. Their first opponent in the main stage of The International 2024 was Gaimin Gladiators, who did not leave a wet spot on Tundra's face. This shows that Tundra still has some problems that manifest themselves against strong opponents. Will the players be able to fix the errors or minimise them? We will find out very soon.

They will face the main hope of the Chinese region, Xtreme Gaming, who also had some problems with strong opponents, which led them to the bottom of the grid. It's hard to say anything about the first day's match, as it was immediately clear that Aurora is not Xtreme's level, although we did see some interesting attempts to turn the game around.

Personal meetings

The last time the teams met was at ESL One Birmingham 2024. Where they played as many as 2 matches. In the first one, Xtreme easily defeated Tundra with a score of 2:0. In the next stage, where only one map was played, Tundra Esports won. This proves once again that there is no single favourite in this match and there cannot be.

The most popular heroes

Just before the start of TI, Valve changed the goal quite significantly, which led to the fact that the tournament has heroes who are either selected or banned. For example, Mirana, Luna.

We don't see any special changes in the Tundra hero pool after the first day. As usual, favourites Mars, Luna Enchantress were poked. The second game was quite interesting in terms of the draft, it was fascinating to watch Topson on Puck or Pure on Drow Ranger. As for Puck, we've seen it before in this tournament, but the Drow Ranger peak was a real surprise, which is a shame that it didn't help Tundra to compete at least a little bit.

The Sniper immediately catches our eye. On which Xm was just god on the second map, along with Faceles Void under the leadership of Ame. The most unexpected was Tinker. In general, Xtreme spent these 3 days of the break productively and improved their main heroes, which is already paying off. But they are also ready to surprise the opponent with some unexpected peak.

Prediction from Bo3.gg

Based on the recent results and the overall form of the teams, Xtreme Gaming looks more prepared for a difficult confrontation with Tundra Esports. Although Tundra has been playing a stable game, particularly in teamwork and map control, their strategy in recent matches has been somewhat predictable. Xtreme Gaming, on the other hand, demonstrates a variety of drafts and an aggressive style of play that allows them to react flexibly to any changes in the situation during the match. Xtreme's strength in team battles is particularly noteworthy, where they often manage to seize the initiative even at critical moments. If they can avoid mistakes in the macro game and better control the objects on the map, they have every chance of emerging victorious in this extremely intense confrontation. Tundra will undoubtedly put up a strong fight, but Xtreme have the tools to win. Prediction: Xtreme Gaming will win with a score of 2:1, after a fierce fight at all stages of the game.

The International 2024 takes place in Copenhagen, Denmark, from 4 to 15 September, where teams compete for a $2.5 million prize pool. Follow this match with us!
