You should check this AMA comments are pretty accurate to what you're looking for. They stand at fighting games though, in this 2014's year EVO the grand final of Blazblue was great.

I have taken the liberty to translate the first section (DeT FM's message). I am currently living in Japan and studying Japanese, however, Japanese is not my native language so ShiroKaisen you can tell me what you think. If you guys like it I can translate the rest. ** This is not DIRECTLY translated. It has been formatted for Native English speakers to better understand**

ORIGINAL TEXT: DET FMは２０１４年の王者として、今回は追われる立場かもしれませんが我々は世界
で勝てるチームを目指し、新たなメンバーも迎え万全の体制で連覇を成し遂げたいと思います。皆様を魅了するプレイを約束しますので、2015年のＬＪＬも是非とも
応援のほど宜しくお願い致します。

TRANSLATED TEXT: This year's goal for us might be a long road, but as Champions of the 2014 League Season, our goal is to become the World Champions as well as getting our new members in sync to strive for a flawless organization, capable of winning successive championships. Our team has promised to play to our utmost ability and provide an exciting season for viewers of the 2015 LJL. We appreciate all of you cheering us on and we are looking forward to your support!

Sorry, that's not exactly correct.

"As the 2014 champions we may be the ones everyone else will be chasing after, but we're aiming to be a team that can win on the world stage, and by bringing in new members we would like to win successive championships, with our team in top form. We promise to dazzle you with our play this season, so please cheer for us throughout the 2015 LJL."

Kinda busy right now, so I can't really get to the rest until later.

It was just announced that Japan will be participating in the Wild Cards this year, as part of the new format.

Expect a bunch of new LJL related stuff this weekend.

I'm gonna watch like two games and pick a random team to support based on totally arbitrary standards, it's gonna be glorious.

Can't wait till everyone on TL becomes a Japan league expert and we flaunt that hipster cred when a Japanese team wins S12 or something.

You already gotta know that's what I'm doing. Did you see me drop that knowledge?

The issue for me is that I can only glean insight from the LJL games on Youtube, which are outdated in both patch (has old Summoner's Rift still) and players (apaMEN, the support for Rascal Jester, was their midlaner) meaning that I can't get team skill, champion pool, or really much of anything besides which team has the most enjoyable playstyle. Right now that playstyle is Det FM because their playstyle is winning and fuck me if I'm not a TSM fan.

I'm pretty sure every Japanese players play on NA at sometimes or another. Just go queue up past midnight. You always see these Japanese-speaking warrior playing it out at 150-200 ping and I always ask them "yo don't u have garena" and they always tell me that in most cases they get better ping here.

afaik none of them reached challengers here but there are a couple d3-d2 accounts that are def japanese players.

So both Afreeca and Azubu are confirmed as broadcast partners, an English stream has been confirmed, and Detonation FM has gone full-time.

I'm getting pretty excited. Only 20 hours to go!

I hope their prize pools expand so that the league attracts more people who are willing to put the time into to getting good at the game. It becomes a lot easier to focus on the game when you're not worried about funding.

I'll definitely watch some of this to see where their scene is at.
