Cache to Appear in the XSE Pro League 2026 Map Pool

Cache will be used at XSE Pro League 2026 in Counter-Strike 2. The tournament organizers have confirmed that the event in China will be played with the updated competitive map pool, where Cache has replaced Overpass in Active Duty.

This means XSE Pro League will become the first major LAN tournament where teams will play Cache after its return to the official map pool. This adds extra intrigue to the event: participants will have to fight not only for prize money and VRS points, but also quickly adapt to a map that has only just returned to the competitive rotation.

XSE Pro League 2026 will take place from July 1 to 12 in Guangzhou, China. The tournament will feature 16 teams competing for total payouts of $1,000,000. Among the participants are 9z and BetBoom - teams that reached the Major quarterfinals - as well as several updated rosters.

Special attention will be focused on PARIVISION, FaZe, and MIBR. For these teams, the tournament will be the first serious test after roster changes.
