M-League 2020 Week 16: Back to Madness

After a relatively tame week last week, the 16th week of M-League 2020 gave us some crazy events. This week, we had an intentional haneman deal-in, back-to-back haneman, an unexpected haneman, a shortcut to haneman that turned into baiman and a hidden haneman (you could call it hane-mania!). We also had a big shift inContinue reading “M-League 2020 Week 16: Back to Madness”

M-League 2020 Week 15: Back to Basics

Riichi? Check. Tanyao? Check. Pinfu? Check. Yakuhai? Check. Honitsu? Check. In this 15th week of M-League, the playoff hunt continues.

M-League 2020 Week 10: Broken Record

In this 10th week of M-League, the themes of last week seemed to repeat itself. We had big streaks, big hands and big wins.

M-League 2020 Week 8: Maintaining Momentum

In the 8th week of M-League, momentum was maintained by multiple members from M-League. Some teams took a tumble and kept tumbling, while others rose and kept rising. Third-place tile throwers triumph to in taking the top-spot. Sideways slings succeeded and reds were raked in.
