Pavan Kampelli, aka “MrTomboy,” has done something amazing. He just won Phase 1 of the Waves Esports Championship 2025 (WESC25) in the eFootball tournament. This wasn’t just any win; it means he’ll now represent India at the Asian Esports Games in Bangkok, Thailand, starting November 30. Cool, right?
Pavan Kampelli Wins Waves Esports Phase 1
This championship was huge, with over 450 of India’s top players battling it out. Pavan came out on top without losing a single match, proving he’s got some serious gaming skills. When asked about his win, he said, “It feels so special to win at this level. Meeting Senthil Rajan Sir was an honor, and now I’m focused on winning at the Asian Esports Games.”
To make this even more special, Senthil Rajan, Joint Secretary at the Ministry of Information and Broadcasting, handed Pavan the official Team India jersey. It’s like the ultimate symbol of pride for an esports player. Rajan called this moment a testament to India’s growing importance in global esports and praised the government’s focus on promoting digital gaming under Prime Minister Modi’s Digital India vision.

What’s Next?
The Asian Esports Games in Bangkok is the next big stop for Pavan. He’s determined to win and bring glory to India.
The Waves Esports Championship isn’t stopping either. The grand finals are set to happen in New Delhi in February 2025, where the winners will compete for ultimate glory. Alongside Pavan, another player named Akash (aka “AKASH_BIT”), who came second, will also compete in those grand finals.
What Makes Waves Esports Championship Special?
The WESC25 isn’t just about eFootball. It’s also got other popular games like BGMI (Battlegrounds Mobile India) and WCC (World Cricket Championship). This championship began in September 2024 and aims to do more than just crown winners. It’s about creating cool content and pushing the boundaries of esports in India.
According to Vinod Tiwari, president of the Esports Federation of India (ESFI), this event is a massive step for Indian gaming. The ESFI has been supporting esports for years, organizing and promoting big events like the Asian Games and Commonwealth Esports Championships.
Overall, Pavan’s win and representation at the Asian Esports Games is another feather in India’s growing esports cap. Recently, India also won a silver medal in Tekken 8 at the BRICS Esports Championship. It’s clear that Indian gamers are making their mark on the global stage.
So, here’s wishing Pavan “MrTomboy” Kampelli the best of luck in Bangkok. We’re rooting for him to win and make India proud!
