why not invite new teams i mean they have already played g2 and shopify yes it was showmatch
or is it cuz c9 is tokyo and no other teams are available?
also these teams are close , also what #3 reply said and if they invited Like EU or APAC teams they would’ve most likely had to pay for trips and hotel and just not worth it for just 20k you’d probably have to spend that to just be teams there
