At the start of 2025, Labutis won the Derby City Bigfoot Classic with a 10‍–‍7 victory over Joshua Filler in the final. [3] Labutis secured his first World Nineball Tour ranking-event victory at the Estonian Open. He overcame Casper Matikainen in the final. [4] He then won his first matchroom-title at the Hanoi Open. His route to the final included wins against Carlo Biado and Robbie Capito, and in the final he overcame Moritz Neuhausen 13‍–‍7. [5] [6] After the match, Labutis said “I’ve fallen short in a few semi-finals before, and it was hard to keep believing at times. But I told myself that if I kept working, my time would come — and today it did." [7] He also rose to number seven in the world rankings. [8] At the end of the year, he was selected to represent Europe in that year's Mosconi Cup. [9]
