Xi Lai Gaming Xi Lai Gaming China Rank #1 WsLeo Huang Pinwei (黄品维) Sharks Qiu Ge (邱戈) Lysoar Liang Youhao (梁优好) NoMan James Man Rarga Arthur Churyumov happywei Deng Minwei (邓闵维) has promoted Qiu "Sharks" Ge (邱戈) from its second team. He is expected to start his XLG career on the bench as the team's sixth man.

Not much is known about Sharks. He has just one recorded match on VLR, competing for XLG earlier this year during EVO Series: Act 2 as part of XLG's second team. In a three-map series loss to JDG Esports JDG Esports China Rank #12 jkuro Yong Haochong (杨浩聪) zhe Niu Zhe (牛哲) Yuicaw Huang Yung-chieh (黃湧傑) crownfisher Li Ao (李翱) BerLIN Zhang Bolin (張柏霖) , he played Chamber, Raze, and Phoenix. While the addition is unlikely to affect its starting five in the near future, Sharks could add some flexibility to XLG's roster. WsLeo , Lysoar , and happywei are locking down the primary Initiator, Controller, and Sentinel roles, while Rarga and NoMan have been splitting Duelist duties in recent months.

XLG's playing roster is the only one in China to remain unchanged since the start of the 2026 season. The decision to stick with its roster comes with good reason. Regionally, XLG is one of just two teams to qualify for every international event this year, alongside EDward Gaming EDward Gaming China Rank #3 ZmjjKK Zheng Yongkang (郑永康) nobody Wang Senxu (王森旭) CHICHOO Wan Shunzhi (万顺治) Smoggy Zhang Zhao (张钊) Jieni7 Zhang Juntai (张君泰) , who have made roster changes of its own. XLG's strong start to the year has seen it finish second in both regional stages as well as 5th-6th at Masters London, its best finish at an international event.
