Ah, the day that we’ve been waiting for has finally arrived! M-League 2020 has finally begun, filled with action and excitement! Let’s get right to it, shall we?
Opening Ceremony
As with every season, the first day started out with an opening ceremony. In reverse order of the 2019 season standings, each of the teams came onto the stage. The U-Next Pirates came on stage last, holding the M-League championship plate. With the new season starting, they returned the plate back to the pedestal. After a few words from each of the team captains and the M-League chairman Fujita Susumu, the opening ceremony finished and the new season had begun!
What’s New
There are a few new things this season, most notably that overlays have been updated to be more colourful and the lighting has been improved to see the tiles better. They also have a custom AMOS REXX II table that automatically puts all your starting tiles right-side up, meaning the players don’t have to flip the manzu and the winds to the proper orientation.
They have also started to interview the two players after each hanchan, in contrast with previous seasons where they only interviewed the 1st place player.
Due to the pandemic, a few new health and safety protocols have also been put in place. The tiles are new anti-microbial tiles that are wiped with alcohol after every hanchan. As well, the commentators are placed in different rooms and the interviewer must keep a certain distance between them and the interviewee.
