Tiago apolonia from 2014- December 2016 he was ranked between #13-22. Which is higher than Sathiyan Gnanasekara has ever been. The Apolonia blade was released in 2016. But I really have no idea what goes into the thinking for Butterfly in terms of when and who they name blades after. There are a few that have been in the top 20 that did not get a blade named after them: Franziska Patrick Pitchford Liam (before he moved to Victas), Lee Sangsu, Wong Chun Ting, and more... (Perhaps you could have an argument using Omar Assar getting a blade named after him)

I have thought about this a fair bit and my speculation is that they take into account a player's market. The Portuguese market is quite big (does it extend into Brazil?) which is why both Freitas and Apolonia have signature blades. Omar Asar is the second highest profile African player, hence he gets a blade. It always surprised me that Pitchford never got a but the English market (judging by quality of it's league) is probably fairly small compared to most other European countries.

Polish and French Market is big but Germany is the biggest.
Zhang Jike is retiring, Liu Shiwen is not longer Butterfly player, AI Fukuhara is retired, so we can see new Ovtcharov line? Youngsiik and Koki Niwa was Butterfly player too and they didnt have own name blade

Why are only blades named after players? Why not rubbers? The only rubber sheet named for a player that I can think of is the Donic JO series.
