ESL transferred the ESL Pro Tour slot from 
Xtreme Gaming to 
Azure Ray but penalized the team with a 30% deduction in EPT points. Now, the roster led by Wang 'Ame' Chunyu holds the third spot in the leaderboard.
This information is reflected in the updated standings on the official ESL website.
As evident, the team was credited with only 3360 points instead of the 4800 earned by Azure Ray for their victory at ESL One Kuala Lumpur 2023. This decision was made based on the fact that Go 'Xm' Hunchen, Lin 'Xxs' Jin, and Zhao 'XinQ' Zysin, who played for Azure Ray, moved to the Xtreme Gaming lineup.
