3×3.EXE Super Premier 2025 – Team of the Tournament Presented by Sparcpulse.com
Spanning three action-packed rounds in Vietnam, Thailand, and the Finals in Hachinohe, Japan, the 2025 3×3.EXE Super Premier delivered a global showcase of elite competition, unforgettable highlights, and rising international stars. From breakout moments to championship-clinching performances, the series gave fans everything—and then some.
As the dust settles, Sparcpulse.com is proud to present the official Team of the Tournament, celebrating the standout performers who defined the season. Leading the way is Devin Gilligan (ALPHAS.EXE), the tournament’s statistical leader and emotional heartbeat of his squad. He’s joined by Filip Kaluderovic (HANGZHOU), the driving force behind the new champs; Griffin Biwer (BRISBANE CITY BLUE.EXE), a breakout big who owned the glass; and Przemysław Zamojski (LAUSANNE), the Polish sniper who brought veteran poise and scoring punch to the defending champs.
We’ve also acknowledged four notable players whose contributions, while just shy of Team of the Tournament honours, were pivotal to their teams’ success and the overall quality of the series.
Devin Gilligan – ALPHAS.EXE
6.1 PPG // 62% FG // 5.8 RPG // 1.3 APG
From the opening tip in Vietnam to the final buzzer in Hachinohe, Devin Gilligan was a pillar of consistency and impact for ALPHAS.EXE, anchoring their deep run through the 2024 3×3.EXE Super Premier. Leading the tournament in both points and rebounds, Gilligan made a resounding statement on both ends of the court—and earned his rightful place on 3×3.EXE Super Premier’s Team of the Tournament.
Round 1 – Statement Made in Vietnam
Gilligan wasted no time asserting himself in Round 1, delivering standout performances throughout pool play—including an 11-point, 71% shooting night that helped Alphas power through to claim the opening round title. His combination of physicality and finesse immediately caught the attention of opponents, establishing him as one of the tournament’s early MVP frontrunners.
Round 2 – Consistency in the Spotlight
With defences locked in on slowing him down, Gilligan didn’t flinch in Round 2 in Thailand. He remained a vital offensive weapon and an emotional leader for Alphas, highlighted by a 9-point, 7-rebound, 3-assist outing in a gritty semifinal against Lausanne. Though Alphas ultimately fell in the final, his relentless effort secured them a 2nd overall seeding heading into the 3×3.EXE Super Premier Final in Hachinohe.
Final Round – Finals Pedigree on Display
In Japan, when it mattered most, Gilligan delivered once again. Facing a red-hot Simon.EXE in the semifinal, he helped halt their Cinderella run with efficient isolation scoring and his usual dominance on the glass. In the championship game, he posted 8 points on 64% shooting with 5 rebounds—including the final 3 points to tie the game at 20 and nearly push the match into overtime.
Had it not been for Milos Jovanovic’s buzzer-beating dagger for Hangzhou, we might have seen more Gilligan heroics in extra time. Still, Devin’s three-round body of work speaks for itself: impactful, reliable, and clutch when it counted most.
Key Performances:
- Round 1, Pool Game 2 – 11 points // 71% FG // 4 rebounds
- Round 2, Semifinal vs Lausanne – 9 points // 7 rebounds // 3 assists
- Final Round, Championship Game – 8 points // 64% FG // 5 rebounds
From Vietnam to Japan, Devin Gilligan brought the energy, production, and leadership every step of the way—cementing his place among the elite of the 2025 3×3.EXE Super Premier. And for those who stood in his way? Let’s just say they’ll be having flashbacks from stranded on Gilligan’s Island for a long time to come.
Filip Kaluderovic – HANGZHOU
6.2 PPG // 3.3 RPG // 2.0 APG // 0.9 SPG
The 2025 3×3.EXE Super Premier welcomed powerhouse newcomers Hangzhou.EXE, and with them came a wave of European firepower that quickly reshaped the tournament landscape. Among the headliners was Filip Kaluderovic, who didn’t just fit into the spotlight—he thrived in it. A dynamic scorer with surgical precision from beyond the arc and a poised playmaker under pressure, Kaluderovic was a driving force in Hangzhou’s championship campaign, earning his place on 3×3.EXE Super Premier’s Team of the Tournament.
Round 1 – Fast Start After a Brief Delay
Filip’s debut began with a stumble, unable to play in Hangzhou’s opening game, but once Kaluderovic hit the floor in their second match against Hachinohe.EXE, he wasted no time making his mark. In their second game, he tallied 7 points, 4 rebounds, and 3 assists, alongside a +12 plus-minus, helping Hangzhou storm into the Round 1 final. Though they ultimately fell to Alphas.EXE, it would be the last time Hangzhou lost a game in the tournament.
Round 2 – A Statement Performance
With Milan Kovacevic sidelined late in Round 2, Kaluderovic elevated his game when it mattered most. After steering Hangzhou through an unbeaten pool phase, he exploded in the Grand Final against Alphas.EXE, dropping a game-high 13 points on 60% shooting, while pulling down 5 rebounds. It was a clinic in versatility—stretching the floor, attacking closeouts, and leading with poise. The win secured Hangzhou the top overall seed heading into the final round in Japan.
Final Round – A Clutch Playmaker and Calm Closer
In Hachinohe, Kaluderovic showed once again that he was built for the big stage. In the semifinal, he delivered a steady two-way performance against 2024 champions Lausanne, scoring 5 points while playing the role of defensive disruptor. But it was in the 3×3.EXE Super Premier championship game, with the score tied at 20 and the clock winding down, that Kaluderovic delivered his defining moment.
Driving aggressively into the lane and drawing two defenders, he dished a last-second assist to Milos Jovanovic, who sank the buzzer-beater that sealed the title for Hangzhou and broke the hearts of Alphas.EXE and their fans.
Key Performances:
- Round 1, 2nd Pool Game – 7 points // 3 assists // 4 rebounds
- Round 2, Grand Final – 13 points // 60% FG // 5 rebounds
- Final Round, Grand Final – 5 points // 4 rebounds // 3 assists
Filip Kaluderovic didn’t just show up for Hangzhou—he led. Whether knocking down shots, cleaning the glass, or creating in crunch time, his blend of skill, leadership, and composure made him one of the tournament’s most complete performers and a key reason Hangzhou walked away with the 2025 crown.
Griffin Biwer – BRISBANE CITY BLUE.EXE
5.6 PPG // 7.6 RPG // 1.4 BPG // 0.6 SPG
At just 22 years old, Griffin Biwer stepped onto the 3×3.EXE Super Premier stage and made an instant impact—not just as a rising Australian star, but as one of the most dominant interior presences across the entire competition. Despite missing Round 1, Biwer proved that age is just a number and wasted no time putting the league on notice.
Round 2 – Dominance in Thailand
Thrust into the spotlight in Round 2 as a late addition for Brisbane City Blue.EXE, Biwer filled the shoes of Ben Volkman—and then some. In his tournament debut, he posted a well-rounded performance: 3 points, 6 rebounds, 2 assists, and 2 blocks, setting the tone for what was to come.
Then came the Quarter Final, where Biwer exploded for 10 points, 7 rebounds, and 3 monster blocks, putting on a shot-blocking clinic that had shopkeepers near Mega Bangna in Thailand checking their insurance policies. His timing, instincts, and rim protection were unmatched, and he quickly became a fan favourite.
In the Semi Final, Brisbane ran into the eventual champions Hangzhou, but Biwer didn’t back down. He posted 5 points, 11 rebounds, and another signature block, continuing to bully opponents on the boards and anchoring the paint, even as Brisbane narrowly lost by 3 in one of the most physical matchups of the round.
Final Round – Battling the Bigs
Drawn against Simon.EXE’s twin towers, Biwer was faced with one of the toughest frontcourts in the series. But once again, he rose to the challenge. He pulled down 8 rebounds, nearly matching Simon.EXE’s entire team total of 11, and added 3 points, 1 block, and 1 steal. Though Brisbane fell 21–17, Biwer proved he’s ready for any challenge the 3×3 format throws at him.
Key Performances:
- Round 2, Quarter Final – 10 points // 7 rebounds // 3 blocks
- Round 2, Semi Final – 5 points // 11 rebounds // 1 block
- Final Round, Quarter Final – 3 points // 8 rebounds // 1 block // 1 steal
Finishing #1 in rebounds, #2 in blocks, and inside the top 15 in points per game, Griffin Biwer not only silenced any doubts—he staked his claim as one of the tournament’s elite big men. He was a constant threat inside, and every player who dared challenge him in the paint quickly learned: it’s Biwer’s house now.
Przemysław Zamojski – LAUSANNE
7.3 PPG // 1.7 2PT FGs PG // 1.3 APG // 2.3 RPG
Defending champions Lausanne entered the 2025 3×3.EXE Super Premier with a refreshed roster—and at the heart of that lineup was Przemysław Zamojski, the Polish sharpshooter whose international pedigree includes a standout showing for Poland at the Tokyo Olympics. Known for his elite shot-making and high basketball IQ, Zamojski wasted no time proving he was ready for 3×3.EXE Super Premier and Lausanne’s quest to repeat.
Round 1 – Making an Instant Impact
From the opening tip in Vietnam, Zamojski set the tone. He erupted for 16 points on Day 1, shooting close to 50% from the field, and led Lausanne to a top finish in their pool. His movement without the ball and ability to knock down deep twos from a precision pass by Wes Molteni forced opposing defences to adjust quickly, or pay the price. Despite being held in check by Alphas.EXE in a physical quarter-final matchup, Zamojski had already made it clear that he would be a key player to watch moving forward.
Round 2 – Red Hot in Thailand
When the tournament moved to Thailand, Zamojski’s scoring touch only got sharper. In a tightly contested pool game against Nunawading Sentinels Red.EXE, he led from the front, scoring 10 points and grabbing crucial rebounds to help Lausanne grind out a win. But it was the quarter-final matchup against Shoot It Dragons.EXE where he truly lit it up—hitting four two-pointers and finishing with 12 points, shooting a scorching 50% from the field in a commanding performance.
Final Round – Gunning for Glory
Zamojski kept the fire burning in Hachinohe, where he helped Lausanne cruise past Tokyo Dime.EXE in the quarter-finals with an 11-point shootout against Yu Nishiune. In one of the most exciting matchups of the tournament, Zamojski edged out his Japanese counterpart and helped Lausanne secure a 21–16 victory.
In the semi-final, however, Lausanne’s title hopes were extinguished by a relentless Hangzhou squad. The defense was laser-focused on Zamojski, holding him to just 3 points in a 9-point loss. Even in defeat, he had already done more than enough to earn his place among the tournament’s elite.
Key Performances:
- Round 2, Pool game 2 – 8 Points // 3 Rebounds // 1 Assist
- Round 2, Quarter Final– 12 points // 4 two-pointers // 70% FG%
- Final Round, Quarter Final – 11 points // 50% shooting // 4 Rebounds
With a tournament average of 7.3 points per game, Zamojski finishes as one of the top scorers of the 2025 3×3.EXE Super Premier. His consistent perimeter threat, leadership, and big-game mentality made him a nightmare for defenders and a highlight for fans—cementing his place in 3×3.EXE Super Premier’s Team of the Tournament.

Jake Afoa – Nunawading Sentinels Red.EXE
6.2 PPG // 4.0 RPG // 0.8 SPG
A physical, high-energy presence for Nunawading Sentinels Red.EXE, Jake Afoa gave his team toughness on both ends. His rebounding and hustle plays often swung momentum, while his 6.2 points per game proved vital in keeping his squad competitive across all three rounds. Afoa was the kind of player every team needs in the trenches.
Kohta Yoshimura – SIMON.EXE
4.5 PPG // 3.7 RPG // 1.7 APG
One of the most well-rounded contributors for Simon.EXE during their Cinderella run, Kohta Yoshimura brought smart decision-making, timely shot-making, and poise under pressure. He served as a stabilizing force, filling gaps and making the right reads in high-pressure moments, helping Simon.EXE reach the final round and pull off several upsets.
Chihiro Sawahashira – Hachinohe Dime.EXE
7.0 PPG // 2.2 RPG // 1.7 APG
While not a volume scorer, Chihiro Sawahashira’s impact came in the form of gritty defense, ball movement, and off-ball effort. His 1.7 assists per game and relentless energy helped Simon.EXE play cohesive, team-first basketball, crucial in their underdog status and keeping Hachinohe within reach at all times during the series.
