The 2019 season of the eBASEBALL Pro League finally begins on November 3! Coca-Cola Japan is the new sponsor!

The eBASEBALL Pro League 2019 Season, an eSports professional baseball tournament sponsored by the Nippon Professional Baseball (NPB) and Konami Digital Entertainment, Inc. is finally underway. The opening game of the eBASEBALL Pro League 2019 Season Lawson eOpening Series will be held on November 3, 2019 (Sunday, holiday). The day's games will be broadcast live on the official KONAMI channel and the official NPB eSports YouTube channel.

The eBASEBALL Pro League is an e-sports league for professional baseball using Konami's baseball game "Powerful Pro Baseball Live". The 12 professional baseball teams will be divided into the Central League and Pacific League to compete for the number one spot in Japan, just like in real professional baseball.

Each team will form a team consisting of four players, either by continuing to sign players from the 2018 season or by selecting players at the e-Draft conference. As in professional baseball, the teams will be divided into the Central League and the Pacific League to compete in the e-Pennant Race and the Central/Pa League e-Exchange Tournament, with the top three teams from each league advancing to the e-Climax Series. The winners of both leagues will advance to the "SMBC e-Japan Series" to determine the best team in Japan. Tickets to watch the actual games can be purchased at Lawson Ticket.

Coca-Cola (Japan) Co., Ltd. has been newly selected as a partner of the "eBASEBALL Pro League" for the 2019 season, and will join Lawson and Sumitomo Mitsui Banking Corporation in promoting the league.
