An English site on everything you need to know about M-League
The Wild M-League Kingdom: A land of curious creatures. The interesting fauna of this land are plentiful, from pigs to monkeys to swans. But who are these creatures? What makes these creatures so special? Today, we will discover the wonder and majesty of The Wild M-League Kingdom.
What you see here is the final hand of the final game of the regular season. When this hand finished, the final semifinals spots were secured and the individual awards were decided.
This week, the 27th and final week of the M-League 2024-25 regular season, emotions ran high and the action was more intense as ever. Nothing was decided until the very end.
With so much to go through, let’s get right into it, shall we?

This week, the 26th week of the M-League 2024-25 regular season, is the second-last week of the regular season. The approach is happening, the runway is in view, the landing is crucial. How the teams handle these high-pressure situations will determine their fate, as well as give us a glimpse of what might be in store during the playoffs.
This week, we had an a yakuman tenpai, a final hand 3rd to 1st comeback, an unfortunate dead hand and a player escaping 4th place by the slimmest of margins.

The word “best” has a few meanings in English. As an adjective, it is something of the highest quality. As a verb, it means to beat an opponent in a contest. In mahjong, both definitions apply.
In the 25th week of the M-League 2024-25 regular season, we had players besting their rivals and players being at their best. We saw one of the best hands a player can win, players taking the best opportunity to win and a team getting their best result in team history!

North American fans will have their chance to join in on the M-League action during the M-League Meetup In Las Vegas on June 1, the first M-League event in North America.
The M-League Meetup in Las Vegas will be held on June 1, 2025 from 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM at the Treasure Island Las Vegas Hotel and Casino. M-League fans will have a chance to play against one of four M-Leaguers who will be attending the event:
The tournament will consist of eight 30-minute East Round/Tonpuusen games. Each participant is guaranteed to play an M-Leaguer at least once, and will also receive a special M-League prize for attending. Top players will receive exclusive M-League merchandise.
During the event, there will also be special side events, a question and answer session, a photo shoot with the players and official M-league merchandise available to be purchased.
The cost for the M-League Meetup is US$250 and has a limited capacity of 100 people. There is also a 3-day pass bundle (which includes participation in all of the AMOS Festival events) available for US$650. Tickets must be paid by Venmo or PayPal.
For those who do not want to attend the main events but wish to purchase merchandise and attend the side events can purchase a one-day spectator ticket for US$30.
Those who wish to participate must fill out a registration form and accept the event terms and conditions.
The M-League Meetup in Las Vegas is part of a larger three-day event called the AMOS Festival in Las Vegas.
The AMOS Festival (shortened as the AMOS FESTA) is a special event sponsored by AMOS, Mahjong Stars (the official AMOS distributor in the United States), M-League and Saikouisen USA.
The event will be held at the Treasure Island Las Vegas Hotel and Casino and will run from May 30, 2025 to June 1, 2025.
Each day of the festival, there will be a different event hosted:
In addition, the Ryuuousen USA Qualifiers will also be running during the duration of the event.
The event will also be attended by Mahjong Watch, a mahjong news website, who will be streaming and recording videos.
All four M-Leaguers expressed their excitement about the event, with Sonoda Ken writing a post in English.
The top individual prize in M-League is the MVP award. The MVP award is the title given to the player who has the highest individual score at the end of the regular season. It is a prestigious title, with the winner receiving a medal that looks like the M-League championship plate and a cash prize of 1,000,000 yen.
In the 24th week of the M-League 2024-25 season, the MVP battle just got closer. The top players are starting to lose steam while their rivals are getting big 1sts. WIth this, the leads are beginning to shrink and it’s anyone guess who will finish on top.

Sometimes, the impossible is possible. The unattainable is attainable. That barrier that seems to be blocking you from moving forward can be broken.
In the 23rd week of the M-League 2024-25 regular season, that barrier that fans were waiting to see toppled was finally broken. It took perseverance and a team effort to do it, but fans all over the world cheered as that one team hit the incredible milestone.

In mahjong, there are always great plays that capture our attention, from tight races to decisive deal-ins. However, nothing will ever beat the classic: the big win. When a player keeps winning and winning, they rack up their points higher and higher, pushing the limits with limit hands.
In the 22nd week of the M-League, we had not one, but two games with big wins. We also had some nice last-hand comebacks, some players getting their first wins in many months, and an rare yaku that has only been seen twice before in M-League history!

Getting hit at the start of a game is rough. Whether it be a small hand or a mangan, you spend the rest of the game playing catch-up. However, even when at the bottom, the best players can fight and make their way to the top.
In the 21st week of the M-League 2024-25 regular season, we had multiple players defying the odds, getting hit with a mangan and still finishing in 1st place, sometimes with a commanding lead. For others, they escaped a deep hole to eke out a small gain. And in one incredible moment, smart messaging allowed two players to get big influential gains, all with just a 2,000 hand.

For some, February is the month for flirting. For M-Leaguers, February is the month for fighting. It’s the second-last month of the regular season and playoff spots are on the line. Individuals are trying to reach new records and snag individual awards. Starting this season, these individual awards come with prize money. Every point matters.
In the 20th week of the M-League 2024-25 season, these February fights were fierce. In three of these games, a big hand in South 4 decided who would win the match. In two games, someone won a baiman.
