Wakutsu Akira Is Dropped by Sega Sammy Phoenix

In a tweet and news release on June 26, 2021, the Sega Sammy Phoenix announced that the contract of Wakutsu Akira (和久津晶) will not be renewed.

Wakutsu was drafted by the Sega Sammy Phoenix in 2019 when she was the only female player in JPML’s A1 league at the time. However, she got -130.0pts in the 2019 season and -280.9pts in the 2020 season, struggling to adjust to the M-League rules.

In a tweet, Wakutsu thanked everyone for their support.

Both Kondo Seiichi and Uotani Yuumi thanked her for her service to the team over the past two years. Even Ooi Takaharu of the Shibuya Abemas tweeted to thank her for her hard work.

With the contact expiration, the Sega Sammy Phoenix will have one draft pick in the M-League 2021 Draft.

The M-League Watch team would like to wish Wakutsu success in all of her future mahjong activities.
