The “Puyo Puyo” series is a nationally popular falling object action puzzle game that has been loved for over 30 years since its release. In 1991, the first version of Puyo Puyo was released on the MSX2 and Famicom Disk System versions, and in 1992, Sega released the arcade and Mega Drive versions. It became an explosive hit due to its simple and
easy-to-understand game system, cute characters, and gameplay that introduced a competitive format for the first time in a falling object action puzzle game. Since then, it has been released as a standard action puzzle game on various game consoles, mobile phones, and smartphones, and continues to be played by a wide range of people regardless of age. In March 2018, it became an official title of JeSU (Japan E-Sports Union), and professional players have also been born. The e-sports scene is also booming, and many competitions are currently being held. “Esports” is an abbreviation for “electronic sports,” and in a broad sense, it refers to entertainment,
competitions, and sports in general that use electronic devices. The name used when considering it as a competition. “The National Inter-Prefectural E-Sports Championship” is a national e-sports tournament in which prefectural teams from all over Japan compete.
