TyLoo have forfeited their place at the StarLadder i-League Invitational after a run-in with visa problems, they announced Monday on Twitter.

Because of visa reasons we have to give up starladder I-league, sorry guys!@StarLadder_com — TYLOO (@tyloogaming) May 3, 2016

The team have since been replaced in the tournament by Born of Fire, the third-place team from the Chinese qualifier. It's unknown why VG.CyberZen, who placed second in the Chinese qualifier, did not take TyLoo's place instead.

TyLoo have emerged as a surprise contender on the international stage, after making it to the quarterfinals at DreamHack Masters Malmö. They upset Luminosity Gaming 2-1 during the decider round of the group stage, knocking the winners of the MLG Major Championship: Columbus out of the tournament. TyLoo then fell to Natus Vincere 2-0 in the playoffs, ending their run in the Top 8.

The StarLadder i-League Invitational will take place in Kiev, Ukraine from May 19-22.
