The Chinese organisation have pulled out of ESL Pro League Season 8's Chinese division due to their Mongolian duo's visa issues, HLTV.org has learned.

The news comes four days after Dust2.us reported that eUnited would replace 5POWER at MSI MGA Finals, as the Chinese-Mongolian mixture decided to prioritise WESG 2018 China Regional Finals (October 1-3) over the $60,000 event held at ESL One New York on September 29-30.

5POWER revealed that they plan to take a vacation during this short period, allowing former The MongolZ duo Gan-Erdene "⁠dobu⁠" Batbold and Bat-Enkh "⁠kabal⁠" Batbayar to apply and obtain their Chinese visas.

5POWER miss out on ESL Pro League
