He then was able to defeat Zain twice 3-2 and 3-1 to win the event, marking his first major win since {{Trn|Collision 2023}}. This also marked the first time since the aforementioned event where Jmook was able to defeat Zain in grand finals, as after Jmook knocked him into losers, Zain was able to double-eliminate Jmook in grand finals of {{Trn|Fête 3: By the Sea}}, {{Trn|Full Bloom 2024}}, and {{Trn|Get On My Level X}}.
