Pakistani Tekken star Arslan Ash has won his fifth Tekken 8 EVO title, defeating fellow Pakistani Atif Butt in the grand finals held in Las Vegas, USA. Arslan won the winner’s final 3-1, while Atif, after defeating Japanese player Nobi 3-0 in the loser’s final, reached the grand finals.

In a close match, Atif won the first game, but Arslan quickly tied the score. Atif switched to the character FENG, tying the score at 2-2, and almost winning the match. However, Arslan landed a perfect hit in the final round, securing his fifth EVO Championship title. Before the final, Arslan tweeted,

“I am so happy we both made the top 6 together. Let's show the world what Pakistan is capable of tomorrow.”

Arslan's victory cemented his reputation as one of the greatest players in Tekken history. His achievements include significant wins at Tekken EVO 2023 and EVO Japan, continuously highlighting the strength of the Pakistani fighting game community on the global stage.

The EVO 2024 tournament featured about 5,000 participants, with a strong presence from Pakistan. Three Pakistani players advanced to the top stages, demonstrating the country’s growing influence in competitive Tekken. The all-Pakistani final showcased the talent and dedication within the country.

Arslan’s latest win not only adds to his list of accomplishments but also brings attention to the rising fighting game scene in Pakistan.
