The 5 Units Survival Race (5ユニットサバイバルレース 5 Yunittosabaibarurēsu) is a round-robin tournament held by Dragon Gate to determine the strongest unit in the promotion for the year. However the last placed team will be forced to disband. This tournament will take place at the 2017 Dragon Gate's August series and it will culminate at Dangerous Gate.
Announced competitors
On July 6, 2017 Dragon Gate announced a tournament named 5 Units Survival Race, after a match on their Korakuen Hall show. The league was announced due to the unit warfare with every stable in Dragon Gate feuding with each other. The tournament was proposed by Masaaki Mochizuki who is independent and not part of a stable, the general manager Takayuki Yagi made the tournament official. The stables in Dragon Gate that are part of a tournament are Jimmyz, Tribe Vanguard, Over Generation, VerserK and MaxiMuM. The tournament will started on the August series. On July 26 it was announced the schedule, and the tournament started on August 5 and will be until September 16.

Rules
All units will participate in an equal number of matches during league play. Title matches, dark matches, and any match that also involves an unaffiliated wrestler will not be counted. The bottom two ranking teams at the end of league play will face off in a Unit Disbands match on September 18. The composition of this match will be determined by a number of members of the participating units. For example, if both units have five members but a member of one of the units has a scheduled championship match then the disbandment match will be done as a 4 vs. 4.
