On Sunday, April 12th, we will inform you that Cyrus, who was scheduled to participate in the opening "Champion Carnival 2026" from Korakuen Hall in Tokyo, will miss all matches of the series.

[Circlus of missing]

In participating in the Champion Carnival 2026, we have been checking the tournament schedule, flight information, accommodation, and rewards from Cyrus players. Since the agreement was reached, we announced the participation, and after that, we have been preparing for coming to Japan, such as obtaining a visa. However, the situation that could not be contacted by the person continued after that, and today, when I asked the airline to check the boarding through the agency, it was discovered that the ticket that was originally supposed to be boarded was canceled by Cyrus. At this time, we have not received any reports from the person regarding the cancellation of the ticket, and we have decided that it is difficult for us to participate in the "Champion Carnival 2026".

We deeply apologize to our customers who were looking forward to the game of Cyrus.

The alternative contestants of the Champion Carnival 2026 will be announced at a press conference tomorrow.
