Manuel "ManuBachoore" Bachoore Wins FC Pro World Championship at 2025 Esports World Cup, Securing Team Liquid’s Third Club Championship Title

RIYADH, Saudi Arabia (August 10, 2025) - Manuel "ManuBachoore" Bachoore has won the FC Pro World Championship at 2025 Esports World Cup for Team Liquid in a 5-3 grand final win against Brice "Brice" Masson of Team Vitality, picking up Team Liquid's third championship title at this year's event.

ManuBachoore's victory sees him become a two-time world champion within the scene, having won the World Championship in 2023, adding another trophy to his cabinet. ManuBachoore claimed a top eight finish at the 2024 Esports World Cup, and ever since favourite and world number one Anders "Vejrgang" Vejrgang was eliminated, ManuBachoore has looked like the most likely winner.

ManuBachoore made it to the World Championship stage via the play-ins, where he only dropped one match in the group stage, topping his group. His main event run proved more difficult, with multiple matches being won by just one goal, proving the intensity of the high-level competition. The grand final was a close match, with ManuBachoore's signature attacking style on display against his French rival, where goals were traded between the pair. The final moments proved a tense affair, with ManuBachoore leading by just one goal however, he was able to score a late goal to make it 5-3, which ended up sealing the championship in his favour.

“I’m so thankful to god, for me to be two-time World Champion is more than I ever asked for in my career. Honestly, I did not think it was possible to win two times. But here we are, I can’t believe it. It feels like a dream. It is my dream. I’m happy it’s a reality," said Manuel "ManuBachoore" Bachoore.

When asked if he thought he could win the title, he replied, “If you asked me after I lost in England [ePremier League 2025], I would say no chance. It would be impossible. You could feel that within Team Liquid, that maybe the other guys were getting more flowers, and rightly so. I was a bit forgotten. I’m sure they won’t forget me now.”

Manuel "ManuBachoore" Bachoore earned Team Liquid 1000 Club Championship points for his victory, sending his Club firmly to the top of the Club Championship standings. The victory in EA Sports FC 25 is Team Liquid’s third victory at the Esports World Cup 2025, marking the first time a Club has won three titles at the same Esports World Cup. The result blows the Club Championship wide open, with Team Falcons having just one top eight finish this weekend, as we head into the final two weeks.

Team Liquid’s victory in EA Sports FC 25 not only gained them 1000 Club Championship points, but also denied third-place Team Vitality 250 more crucial points. Team Vitality remain in third place; however, the strong showing in EA Sports FC 25 has seen them bridge the gap to Team Falcons in second place to just 550 points.
