Visa Issues Could Force Tyloo to Withdraw from ELEAGUE
The Chinese team, Tyloo, known for their surprising victories, may have to pull out of Turner’s ELEAGUE due to visa complications.
According to a statement on Weibo, translated on Reddit, Turner failed to provide the necessary letter for Tyloo to secure their visas for the event in Atlanta.
Around six weeks ago, Tyloo received an invitation to the event at DreamHack Malmo, shortly after their astonishing upset against MLG Columbus champions, Luminosity Gaming.
Since Turner’s delay in providing the required details, the team had to choose between the strict US visa process or applying for Polish visas for the ESL Cologne offline qualifier. Ultimately, they opted for the Polish visas after securing their spot by winning the Asia Minor over Renegades.
It seems highly likely that Tyloo will not be able to compete in ELEAGUE, making this the second tournament they have missed this month due to visa issues. They previously withdrew from the StarLadder Invitational for the same reason.
Tyloo was scheduled to compete in Group B next week against Ninjas in Pyjamas, G2 Esports, and Optic Gaming.
Turner has not provided any comment on the situation and did not respond to requests for comment at this time.
