Rosales who lost an early semi-finals match in the "twice to beat" bracket style tournament redeemed himself by powering through the loser’s bracket and qualifying for the finals.

Philippe Herrero IV a.k.a. PBE Philippe was the first to qualify for the Asian tournament going undefeated leading up to the finals.

The two met in the heated and nail-bitingly tight finals matchup. Only needing a single win after dominant winning streak that day PBE Philippe was inches away from an early championship in the back and forth first game. Not going down without a fight KE Rosales forced double overtime eventually taking the first game.

Despite fatigue setting in the second game was still tightly contested. KE Rosales soon one-upped PBE Philippe and took a sizeable lead in the second half winning the championship game.
