The heavyweight matchup unfortunately has to happen as early as the quarterfinals.

Magpantay is coming off a championship win at the Universal Open, where Biado made an early exit. Magpantay will look to continue his momentum, while Biado will be aiming for a stronger finish and a confidence boost heading into the upcoming Asian Pool Championship, where he is the defending champion.

Chinakhov has been very impressive as of late and remains one of the dangerous non-Filipino players left in the field.

On the other side, young Bernie Regalario will be looking to add a major title under his belt. Don’t sleep on this matchup — whoever comes through will be a serious force to be reckoned with in the semifinals.

The last Indonesian standing, Irsal Nasution continues to prove that he belongs on the international stage.

After finishing runner-up at the Carabao International Open and rising as Indonesia’s No. 1 player, Nasution has backed it up again with another strong run in this tournament.

Reymart Camomot, a standout from the Sharks Billiards Association’s Negros Pillars, is a true dark horse to win it all.

The all-Filipino quarterfinal between Raga and Gallito could be a close one.

Both players are outstanding in the 10-ball format. Raga’s name has faded a bit from the international scene as he has focused more on local events, while Gallito, a mainstay in the Indonesian billiards scene, remains a very dangerous opponent capable of beating anyone.

Who do you think will make it to the finals?
