Wang Chunyu (Chinese: 王淳煜; pinyin: Wáng Chúnyù; born April 7, 1997), better known as Ame, is a Chinese professional Dota 2 player for Xtreme Gaming.[1]
2018–2019
Ame started his Dota 2 career by joining the youth squad of CDEC Gaming, the following year he moved to LGD Gaming. They would go on to their first tier 1 tournament win at Mars Dota 2 League 2017[2] followed by a 4th place finish at The International 2017.
Throughout 2018, Ame and his team had multiple tournament wins and were considered one of the favourites for winning TI8. They eventually lost to OG in the grandfinals in 5 games,[3] followed by a 3rd place finish at TI9 the following year.
2020–2021
After TI9, Ame was moved back to CDEC Gaming, which was also owned by PSG.LGD.[4] On September 16, 2020, a new PSG.LGD roster was formed with Ame returning to PSG.LGD along with players from EHOME.[5] This new roster would go on to dominate the season, and after winning the AniMajor along with a 3rd place finish at the Singapore Major, the team secured a direct invite to The International 2021.
Coming into the tournament, PSG.LGD were considered the heavy favourites for winning the tournament and had an impressive run dropping only 2 games. In the final, they eventually lost to Team Spirit 2–3.[6]
2022–2024
At The International 2022, PSG.LGD, with Ame on the roster, experienced their worst placement since TI6, finishing fifth.[7] Following the tournament, Ame announced he would be taking a break from competitive play and was moved to inactive status for PSG.LGD as of July 12, 2022.[8] This decision came after a period of dominance and high expectations, including near victories at TI8 and TI10.[9]
After a one-year hiatus, Ame made his return to competitive Dota 2 in December 2023, joining Xtreme Gaming (XG) from LGD Gaming. During his time away, Ame focused on streaming and personal matters. XG announced Ame's acquisition on December 11, 2023.[10] Ame joins XG’s roster rebuild for the 2024 season, alongside former Vici Gaming captain Ding “Dy” Cong.[11]
Despite putting up good results and winning several tournaments, his team failed to advance far at The International 2024 as 5th-6th results.
Just after DreamLeague Season 24 touranment with bad results, Ame decided to leaves and join Gaozu. However, Gaozu performed poorly in ESL One Bangkok 2024 although they have good qualifiers.
In December 2024, Ame joined Yakult Brothers.
2025–present
In March 2025, Ame returned to Xtreme Gaming and reunited with coach Xiao8 and changed rosters within the team.
Teams have been successful in lower tier tournament and qualified for The International 2025.
In this tournament, Ame and his team Xtreme advanced to the grand final but once again lost to Team Falcons 2-3.
