POME Emerges as Champion in the WBSC eBaseball™ Series 2025

In a nail-biting finale of the WBSC eBaseball™ Series 2025, the world championship was clinched by the remarkable player POME. This prestigious eSports competition, organized by the World Baseball Softball Confederation (WBSC), saw POME facing off against fellow Japanese competitor Tomokun in an electrifying showdown.

The championship format consisted of a best-of-three matches, with the first player to claim two victories being crowned the winner. POME's journey to glory began with a thrilling first match, where he secured a win with a score of 6-4, setting the stage for a dramatic second encounter. As the match unfolded, Tomokun struck first with a solo home run, taking an early lead. He demonstrated incredible skill by adding another solo home run in the second inning, extending his lead to two runs.

However, the tension escalated in the final inning. POME, undeterred, managed to get on base with a walk and then quickly turned the tables by scoring two runs with timely hits, bringing the match back to a tie. What followed was a striking display of batting prowess from POME, who hit two three-run home runs and capped the game off with a perfectly placed solo home run, sealing a resounding victory with a score of 12-2, thereby concluding the match as a cold game.

This remarkable victory brought POME the honor and distinction of being the world champion of the WBSC eBaseball™ Series 2025. The thrill of the World Finals, which featured a gathering of elite players from around the globe, is available for viewing on the official WBSC YouTube channel.

POME’s Reflections on His Championship Win

POME expressed his exhilaration in a recent interview, stating, "I've been playing WBSC eBaseball™ since its release day. I’ve faced many defeats in previous tournaments, and it has been frustrating. However, achieving this victory has made all my hard work worth it. I honestly thought that Tomokun was too strong and it would be difficult to win the second game, but I approached the match with a confident mindset that even if I lost the second game, I would have a chance in the final match. This positivity helped me secure the win."
