Xtreme Gaming Replaces Poloson with xNova Due to Health Concerns

Unfortunate news hit Xtreme Gaming as they are forced to make roster changes for their Dota 2 lineup. Yap "xNova" Jian Wei will be stepping in as position 5. While Wilson "poloson" Koh goes into the inactive roster of the squad.

This is due to poloson having Tendonitis, preventing him from practicing with his team and forcing him to take time off to recover.

Xtreme Gaming has not released Poloson from their roster. Instead, he is going to be inactive while he focuses on recovering from Tendonitis.

Tendonitis is an inflammation that occurs in the tendons that connect a person's bones and muscles. It occurs most often in the legs but can also impact the arms. For esports atheletes who sit and practice for many hours a day, it is a fairly common condition.

Luckily for Poloson, it doesn't take long to recover. He should be able to play in about a month if everything goes well. This unfortunetly means he will miss out on Clavision Masters 2025: Snow-Ruyi and possibly The International.

Xtreme Gaming reunites xNova with Ame

In Dota 2, the chemistry between the hard support and the team carry is paramount. The two players will spend the laning stage together, coordinating kill attempts, harassing the enemy, pulling creeps, and a whole lot more. While it is vital for the team to work together, that is doubly true for laning partners.

Wang "Ame" Chunyu and xNova were former teammates in PSG.LGD and experienced their biggest successes together. They won EPICENTER XL and MDL Changsha Major, along with a second place finish at The International 8 and a bronze medal at The International 9.

When all is said and done, Xtreme Gaming has put together a deadly duo in their safe lane.
