Taiwan's Ko Pin-yi won the World Cup by beating Filipino Carlo Biado 11–9 in the final.[1] In the semi-final, Ko defeated his younger brother Ko Ping-chung, whereas Biado won against Spaniard David Alcaide.[1]
Defending champion was Dutchman Huidji See, who won the 2011 event but did not participate in this event.
Filipino boxer Manny Pacquiao successfully campaigned against the WPA to select his hometown, General Santos, as the venue for the event, in which he has already organized several pool-billiards tournaments.[2][3] The tournament was attended by 128 players from over 20 countries. A total of $200,000 in prize money was distributed, the World Champion received $40,000.
