Maybe just because Chivo needs another player for CTC offline. Since that soO is facing his military service, and we don't know if soO can participate in the foreign offline tournaments in 2020.

Then getting TY would make more sense, or not?

Getting Special would make sense, TY is apparently very close to TSG already.

No TY's joining TSG is only one step from official announcement.

Getting SpeCial would make sense for them anyways imo, Chivo being Latin American branding and having Cham already.

However,
1. Cham may not participate in CTC at least until now.
2. Chivo's owner, Julio Davila prefers SoO to other players even from Mexican local players.

Special is living in Korea, he is korean level despite not being korean in nationality and, unlike soO, he will be free to travel in 2020; Ragnarok alone won't be able to carry the team. I am not saying Chivo must sign Special, but I am convinced it would make sense to do so.

Why euripe cant have strong team leagues? WCS could do something about it. This way, for years, teams are just personal sponsorships for players without any gain

In Europe/NA, unless some tournament organizers come together or some HUGE long forsken sponsor comes to the scene, Blizzard would have to invest a lot of money into a league...we all know they are having trouble investing in stuff...thats not happening.

The success of CTC is built on Xiaose/F91 and Netease influences and reputation in Chinese esport community. EU and NA has also some guy doing such things like Wardi. But you know.. He is still too small to support a stable, professional teamleague. I believe if there's big names like Tatosis trying to build an EU teamleague along with WCS. They will succeed just like CTC.

You can also think CTC is like homestory cup but with sponsers and more official support from blizzard

CTC's China sponsor NetEase is an independent company. Although NetEase is the acting publisher of Blizzard games in China, NetEase and Blizzard's finances are completely unrelated. So we can think that NetEase sponsored CTC with its own money on behalf of Blizzard.

You're making some bold assumptions here.

We need a crazy millionaire to support an European team league.
SC2 is the best game to watch and was the best to play before I grew old and slow...

1. You mention Cham not participating as a point. What do you mean by that?
2. a)Does it matter that soO is more liked if he can't play the CTC offline games?
b) Why would soO's existence affect the acquisition of SpeCial? Are you suggesting that SpeCial is so expensive that they wouldn't afford to keep soO?
