The tournament organisers for the XSE Pro League 2026, XinSai Esports has announced that M80 and Legacy, two teams who were invited to the $1,000,000 LAN event in China, will not be attending the tournament due to 'passport related issues. XinSai Esports also stated that along with the passport-related issues, the teams also faced jury duty obligations which was another reason for the teams being unable to travel to Guangzhou.
