eXtatus, Tricked and Sharks are the first teams confirmed for the 2018 edition of Cross Border Esport (CBE).

The trio were among the semi-finalists of last year's event, which saw eXtatus claim the grand prize of over $9,500 after defeating Tricked 2-0 in the title decider.

North Academy, who went out in the semi-finals, were also invited back to the event, but the Danish organisation declined the offer, with their spot now up for grabs.
