WBSC eBASEBALL™: POWER PROS to feature at Tokyo Game Show 2023
The WBSC eBASEBALL™: POWER PROS will be staged at the Tokyo Game Show 2023 on 21 September after an exciting event during the U-18 Baseball World Cup.
On Thursday, 21 September, the World Baseball Softball Confederation’s (WBSC) official video game, WBSC eBASEBALL™: POWER PROS will reveal a new project, along with an exhibition match, at the Konami Digital Entertainment Inc. (KONAMI) booth during the Tokyo Game Show 2023.
The exhibition match will be played by a Japanese eBASEBALL™ player Yuki Yoshida (Taiji) and Li Zechao(KOY), the winner of the Chinese Taipei Baseball Association (CTBA) Open, which was recently featured as a side event at the XXXI WBSC U-18 Baseball World Cup.
The CTBA eBASEBALL™ Open was held at the Taichung Intercontinental Baseball Stadium with KOY and Chia-Ming Wang (CMWANG), who was the top Chinese Taipei player at the Olympic Esports Series 2023, contesting a thrilling game, with KOY hitting a walk-off home run to finish the game.
As well as the two eBASEBALL™ players, Lai KUAN-YUN (Laiki), a Chinese Taipei influencer will join the commemorative event at the Tokyo Game Show 2023. The WBSC continues to attract new audiences to the sport through WBSC eBASEBALL™: POWER PROS, which was released in conjunction with KONAMI in February 2023.
The WBSC and KONAMI will organise a press event at the booth just before the exhibition match to unveil a groundbreaking WBSC eBASEBALLTM project for international Baseball/Softball by the WBSC Executive Director Michael Schmidt and KONAMI Corporate Officer Tatsuhiko Yamamoto. The press event and the exhibition match will be also available on KONAMI’s Official Pawapuro/Prospi channel.
