The 1455th and 1456th games for BoBoKa and Xxs took place in the lower bracket final of the OGA Dota Pit Season 6 series against Team MagMa on 28th Feb 2022. They have a win rate of 56.3% when playing together.

BoBoKa and Xxs become the most experienced pair in competitive Dota 2

The Chinese player duo of BoBoKa, aged 25, and Xxs, aged 22, overtook N0tail and Fly earlier today to become the most experienced players worldwide by playing their 1455th and 1456th games together. Out of these 1456 games that BoBoKa and Xxs have played together, they have won 820 and lost 636 as per datdota.

Xxs and BoBoKa have spent most of their competitive Dota 2 time together, after meeting for the first time in Team DK in September 2015. The two played in Team DK together until November 2015 after which they switched to IG Vitality in December. After four months at IG Vitality, the two were moved to the main roster of Invictus Gaming in March 2016. From March 2016 to September 2018, the two represented Invictus Gaming, after which they joined the newly formed Team Aster. Xxs and BoBoKa have been serving Team Aster as position four and offlaner respectively from September 2018 to the present day. Playing together has encompassed 99.2% of BoBoKa and 97.5 of Xxs' careers.

The major accomplishments during this six-year plus partnership have been winning the Dota 2 Asia Championships 2017, placing third-fourth at The Kiev Major 2017, and placing fifth-sixth at The International 2017. The players, at Team Aster, have consistently performed well at the regional level in the past year but have not been able to match the performance at international events.

BoBoKa and Xxs form one of the few duos in this list of most experienced pairs who play together in the same line. Additionally, the two players have 820 victories, which is third-most in this list behind N0tail and Fly, who have 906, and Vladimir "No[o]ne" Minenko and Alexey "Solo" Berezin, who have 832. No[o]ne and Solo, best known for their time at Virtus.pro from 2016 to 2020, teamed up once again under NAVI in September 2021, while N0tail and Fly have both been on different teams since their infamous fallout in 2018.

The streak will continue for BoBoKa and Xxs when they take part in the China Dota Pro Circuit (DPC) 2021-22 Tour 2: Division 1 that begins on 14th March.
