Earlier, he had lost to Galgonge 3-2 after a close encounter.
After which Arslan had to play the Losers Final against Varrel Pinya which he won 3-1 and qualified for the grand final, where he once again, faced Galgonge.
If Galgonge had won the grand final against Arslan he would have emerged as champion but Arslan gave him a tough fight and beat him 3-1 in a one-sided grand final.
However, as Galgonge had won the winners’ final against Arslan in the previous round, he was given another chance and the two once again had a face-off in the grand final reset.
