The ESL Challenger League Season 51 Asia Cup #4 begins today, giving Asian teams one last chance at extending their contention towards an ESL Pro League spot through the Asia-Pacific Final.

Arise also took part in the previous iteration of the Asia Cup but ended up forfeiting their lower bracket game.

The sixteen-team double-elimination best-of-three bracket will conclude on 3rd May 2026 with the Asia-Pacific Final beginning on 25th May 2026.
