The preparation process of the Lao Tile Cup can be described as a twist and turn. As early as 2021, Liu Guoliang revealed that he and Waldner were discussing holding the competition, which was originally planned to be held in 2022, but it was repeatedly postponed for various reasons. Until 2023, the competition finally had confirmed news, but the name of the event, originally named "Liu Guoliang-Lao Wa Cup", was changed, and only "Lao Wa Cup" was retained, which may be because Liu Guoliang's schedule was too tight to organize in person.
The list of participants for this competition is luxurious. The Asian team is captained by Ma Long, with Yoshijun Ishikawa as vice-captain, and the other members include Chen Meng, Wang Chuqin, Zhang Yuzhen, Batra and Lim Zhongxun. The world team is captained by Waldner himself, which includes Boll, Hugo, Ochalov, Alex, Felix, Szokos, A-Diaz and Moregaard.
