The organizers of XSE Pro League 2026 have announced the first eight invites for the $1,000,000 tournament held in Guangzhou, China.
The event is set to be played from July 1-12, which places it inside the summer break, but some notable names have already confirmed their attendance.
The team list is headlined by Legacy, who recently rose to No. 6 in the VRS thanks to their CS Asia Championship triumph, and FaZe, who will be looking to get back on track under Russel “Twistzz” Van Dulken’s leadership.
