As TPL Project Director Laurent 'Ange' Blum stated, the reason for kicking Eclypsia was them breaking multiple rules of the competition.
Statement by Ange:
"After breaking two rules in less than two days (the use of multiple standins and not showin up for tonight' match vs Dignitas), the Dota 2 Premier League decided to disqualify Eclypsia from our ongoing Season 3. This will result in a 0-2 score for every opponent. I hope you guys will understand and respect our choice."

Newly formed roster of Eclypsia gaming was involved in today's Starladder Star series qualifier and apparently didn't come on time to play against team dignitas.
Eclycpsia manager Cristian 'kiddoq' Manea showed his disagreement about the situation on twitter as well as later on in a more detailed statement.
Statement by Cristian 'kiddoq' Manea, Team Manager Ecylpsia:
"We really tried to get a wildcard, just as dignitas got one a few days ago. We had a conflict with the SLTV preliminaries, which were played at the same time. The schedule of the game was at this time because of dignitas' wildcard and we in the end had a serious conflict with that. After playing like 4 games we couldn't just leave SLTV tournament for that game. They could have given us an hour or another day time, but instead they decided to ban us. Still, I wanna thank TPL for inviting us to the season."
