The North American team have dropped out of Major All Stars eight days before the beginning of the Malaysian event citing travel issues while their 'inexperience in eSports' and 'busy schedules' created more problems.

Problems for the LAN finals of Major All Stars have formed over the last 24 hours after it was announced that Team eHug were unable to attend the Kuala Lumpur based event, despite being so close to the beginning of the tournament. The North American team were due to appear in their first foreign LAN event but as the team's manager Naerok explained in a post on Reddit that their trip was plagued with problems. The team were required to apply for visas for both Yawar 'YawaR' Hassan and Ryuzaw which were still being processed, needed to find a late stand-in for Mark 'Tralf' Seidl and claimed they were unable to get flights assured by the organisers in time.

Their late departure from the tournament means that the organizers will probably be forced to find a team within the South East Asian region but no announcement has been made at this time. But who will replace them? News will follow as soon as the announcement is made.
