How XLG got here
Xi Lai Gaming’s rise has been remarkably fast by any competitive standard. The organization was founded in 2023, and by 2024 they had already won the VCT China Ascension tournament, which served as their gateway into the VCT China league.
Their path through the Masters London Swiss stage included victories over Dragon Ranger Gaming and Global Esports. The roster doing the damage consists of happywei, Lysoar, WsLeo, Rarga, and NoMan. Collectively, the team has accumulated approximately $140,000 in career earnings.
