I am very happy that they chose "PuyoPuyo" for this event! I think there are still some people who have the impression that "Puyopuyo" is an esports game, but I would like to encourage everyone to try Puyopuyo, even if only loosely!

Comment from the organizer of "Loose esports round-table discussion: Wellplayed Festival Edition
From Yuya Tanida, Representative Director of Well Plaid Co.
The last roundtable sold out in 34 minutes with over 100 participants. The name of the event is "Yuru-Fuwa eSports Roundtable" and it will be held at our own event!
With the concept of "loosely transcending the boundaries of esports communities and titles," we invite people from various genres and in various positions (manufacturers, organizers, community leaders, professionals, MCs and newscasters) as guests for each session. We will talk about what you want to hear from the industry in a frank and candid manner. This time, since it is a traveling edition at a convention event, we would like to enjoy watching various titles together, so if there is a title you are not familiar with, please join me and someone who is familiar with that title while having fun eating and drinking together. We are negotiating with some interesting guests for this event, so please look forward to it.
I'm hoping to give out a limited number of Wellplayed Festival version Yuru-e stickers to those who pre-order. Whether you participated last time or not, come and have fun with me.
