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 LGD Gaming.[1]
Career[edit]
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.
2018–2019[edit]
Throughout 2018, Ame and his team had multiple tournament wins and were considered one of the favourites for winning TI8, eventually they lost to OG in the grandfinals in 5 games,[3] followed by a 3rd place finish at TI9 next year.
2020–2021[edit]
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]
