Chinese Dota 2 esports player Lu “lou” Zhen is rumored to be taking a break from his professional career. This information has appeared on Telegram channels.
Lou is reportedly going inactive. The player is said to have made this decision due to a prolonged period of poor performance.
As of the time of publication, lou is listed as part of Xtreme Gaming, where he plays as a carry. The club has not announced the player’s departure to inactive status.
In 2025, Xtreme Gaming participated in FISSURE PLAYGROUND Belgrade 2025 and BLAST Slam II, where they achieved 9th-11th and 9th-10th places, respectively. The team also competed in DreamLeague Season 25, but was eliminated in the group stage.
In March, Xtreme is scheduled to compete at PGL Wallachia Season 3. The Chinese team also qualified for ESL One Raleigh 2025, which will take place in April, but organizers replaced them because the club did not submit their roster in time.
