Chinese CS:GO Team TyLoo Obtains 10-Year US Visa
After facing visa issues that caused them to miss out on several international events, TyLoo, a Chinese CS:GO team, has finally obtained a 10-year multiple entry visa to the US. This means that the team will now be able to compete in international tournaments without any trouble.
TyLoo gained recognition on the international stage after their impressive performance at DreamHack Malmö in April. They made it to the playoffs by defeating the reigning major champions, SK Gaming. Shortly after this victory, TyLoo received an invitation to participate in TBS’ debut season of ELEAGUE. Unfortunately, the team had to decline the opportunity due to visa issues, missing out on the $1.4 million event.
In addition to the ELEAGUE event, TyLoo also missed out on attending the StarLadder I-League Invitational in May due to visa complications. However, with a one-year travel visa for the European Schengen area and a 10-year visa to the US, we can expect to see TyLoo participating in international LAN tournaments more frequently.
It’s worth noting that TyLoo is not the only Chinese team to face difficulties when traveling. LGD Gaming, another Chinese team, had to play the International 6, the Dota 2 world cup, with their coach as a stand-in due to visa issues.
