It was announced that LJL will join the Pacific Championship Series ecosystem in November 2023. This means that there will no longer be an exclusive slot for Japan to represent Japan at the World Championships, but instead there will be more opportunities to compete against teams from Asia and Oceania, with the possibility of two teams from Japan advancing to the World Championships if they perform well. Fans are saddened by the announcement of the reduction in the number of teams, which comes just as these new developments are being announced. The reduction in the number of teams means a reduction in the number of professional players, so the off-season transfer information is also attracting a lot of attention.
