The Champion's League was previously an invite-only tournament that pitted Japan's top performing players of a season against each other, with the last event held in the summer of 2007. 2017 saw the return of the Champion's League, albeit in a format more reminiscent of Battle Road tournaments and the recent Mega Battle events, consisting of regional meetings open to all participants much like Regional Championships outside Japan. These meetings were held throughout 2017, culminating in the Japan National Championships in which the top players earned an invitation to play at the World Championships.
