When you sit down to play a game of mahjong, you never know what’s going to happen. Many different yaku, different hand possibilities and many choices to make. In the 17th week of the M-League 2023-24 season, we had a great variety of hands, from a near immediate dealer haneman, to a 1,000 points hand to move into 1st place to the classic north tanki.

Before the start of each game, the staff go through a mock M-League game to make sure that all the equipment can cameras work and that everyone knows their cues. During this rehearsal, one of the staff members got a chiihou! This staff member even made a brief appearance during the first game’s interviews. Unfortunately, since it wasn’t an official M-League game, they did not receive a lifetime supply of noodles.
Update: M-League has released a video of the win and the winner will be receiving one entire serving of Nissin UFO Yakisoba as a present!
