Questions & Answers about watashitachi wa chiimusen ni sankasuru.
Normally, Japanese is written without spaces:
私たちはチーム戦に参加する。
The spaces here are just for learners, to make the parts easier to see. In real Japanese writing, you would usually not separate words this way.
は is the topic marker. It tells you what the sentence is about.
So in:
私たちはチーム戦に参加する。
the topic is 私たち — we / us.
A natural way to think about it is:
As for us, we will participate in the team competition.
It does not always mean simple emphasis on the subject. It mainly marks the topic being discussed.
Yes, it can often be omitted if the context already makes it clear who is participating.
Japanese frequently leaves out subjects and topics when they are understood. So depending on the situation, you might simply say:
チーム戦に参加する。
That could still mean We will participate in the team competition, if it is already obvious who we refers to.
私たち is included here to make the subject/topic explicit.
