I would like to make a small post to highlight a shift in focus from what was initially presented for BEYBLADE NORTH 2023.

BEYBLADE NORTH 2023 will now have three back-to-back days of Burst Standard related tournaments, with just a sprinkle of MFL mixed in.

This change in focus will allow for us to come together to celebrate all that Beyblade Burst has achieved and culminated into since 2015 and look forward to what may come next.
