In the past three T-League play-offs, the Libez team has finished runner-up as the highest, and is only one step away from winning the championship. Facing the new season, he said: "I will save 10 to 15 wins. As long as you participate in the competition, you will work hard to win. ”

Also new to the event, 32-year-old Rishi Hideda was also present. He said: "I feel a wonderful fate. I will do my best to bring Charais (Winner) back to Okayama. Coach Tian Tian Xiang vowed to be the team that must win. I'm going to take the team seriously and lead the team to fight with the goal of being a champion."

The men's T-League season kicks off on 26 July, with last season's third-placed team Ribez playing their first match of the new season away from home on 3 August. The first home match will be played against last season's runner-up Ryukyu at the Okayama Budokan in Okayama City on the 23rd.
