Visca finished with 11 wins, 4 draws and 2 loses for a total of 13 points, the same output of Renie Malupa. Visca, however, was proclaimed champion due to better tie break points according to Chief Arbiter NA Byron Gabrentina Villar. "Pinilit ko ‘yung last game ko. Para makahabol ako sa magandang placing,” said Visca, who suffered his twin loses at the hands of newly installed Candidate Master (CM) Genghis Imperial in third round and Rey Jay Pascual in thirteen round. “Kasi alam ko in case mag-tie, sa akin pa din ang title kasi alam kong mas mataas ang tie break points ko." The 3rd-5th spots were taken by Arena Grandmaster (AGM) Almario Marlon Bernardino Jr., Rudolf Perez and Arena Grandmaster (AGM) Marc Voltaire Paraguya, who all had 12.5 points but their placement was due to their tie break points.
