they were unable to come to an agreement with their organization that would allow them to participate.

What the hell is that supposed to mean...?

We can only make wild guesses like "org wanted too much money from the prize", but until there's any info from the players themselves, it's better to wait.

Wait that's absolutely wild isn't it? I haven't been keeping up with pro Dota for the last few months but was this expected at all?

Nah, never happened before. No matter how bad things are going, I can't even imagine what needs to happen for a team to withdraw from TI. I mean, isn't TI the apex of esports? I would sell my soul to participate there.
