<Winner's comments from Tomo-kun

I have never won a championship or even made it to the top 4 before, but I am very grateful to my fans and my family for their support. I am very happy to have won for the first time. Thank you very much. (How will you use the one million yen?) I will use it to save .......

SEGA Official Pro Tournament "Puyo Puyo Finals SEASON 2" Result

Continuing from the previous day's tournament, the winner was Tomo-kun. This tournament was a special event to determine the annual professional player champion for the 2019 season "SEASON2." A total of eight players, the top five in the season ranking and the top three in the season total of championship points, competed in this event. Since this is a special tournament that attracts the highest ranked professional players, every match was a spectacular chain reaction. In the final match, the game went down to the third set, but in the end, with all the Puyos at the top of the field and no room for error, Tomo-kun succeeded with a furious 13-chain run to take the championship.

＜Tomo-kun's comment on his victory

I was so tired. I played about 50 games before the final, and I don't remember much (about the games). The final match was not bad, so I changed my mind in the third set. (Today's prize money) went to school fees.
