ESL announced the official list of seeded players for DreamHack: Atlanta.
Unlike DH: Valencia where Trap and Rogue declined their invites (presumably due to travel restrictions related to military service), it appears that all six GSL players will be competing this time around.
However, Europe runner-up 
Reynor has declined his invitation for unspecified reasons. Thus, EU’s fifth place player HeroMarine has received the invitation instead.

Reynor probably doesn’t need the points to make it to Katowice. He’s giving up seeding benefits but that extra seeding might not be worth it to him to travel to the states and play another tournament.
It would impact the seeding in IEM, and you would prefer to be a top 4 seed for better draw in the group stage. Reynor, and Dark, missing DH Atlanta will let Serral and herO take over top 4 seed along with Clem and Maru.

Man already qualified for Katowice so he wants to take some personal time off.
Wishing you the best Reynor!
Excited for the Tournament

If he is burned out or for other health reasons, it’s obviously understandable. Other than those I can’t imagine volunaritly giving up a big tournament like this. I mean these guys are living for the chance to prove themselves at tournaments and it’s also basically their job

you don’t have to be able to imagine why and they don’t have to explain it. they are people with entire lives you don’t know about whereas you see them only as gamers. much more to life than competition and money

I mean, my passion is writing software, and it’s also my job, and I turn down work all the time for all kinds of reasons. Let the dude take a break, he doesn’t owe us an explanation.

Keep in mind that Reynor already this year made the trip to Korea (which I’m sure wasn’t a simple ordeal) just to play in GSL and he ended that adventure with a very disappointing result.
If he doesn’t want to make another cross continent trip to play in another tournament when he’s already pretty much locked into going to Katowice then it makes sense to me why he’d want to sit this one out.
As others accurately put it, he’s not just a gamer, he has a life and he’s been burning very bright this year.

Did they accidentally link TL Hero when it should be DPG’s herO in the tweet?

Prayers for whatever that might be! As people said above, progamers have lives, families, crises, etc, like everyone else.
