Evo 2019, one of the biggest video gaming competition held in Los Angeles is finally over and there is some massive news for Pakistanis.
Our very own Arslan Ash, the Pakistani youth that beat more than 500 players from the world to become Tekken Champion 6 months ago, has once again become the grand champion of Evo 2019 Tekken bracket.
Evo 2019 is a big deal since thousands of players from around the world train day and night to earn a spot in the tournament. This year’s tournament featured games like Dragon Ball FighterZ, Mortal Kombat 11, Soul Calibur 6, Samurai Shodown, BlazBlue, Tekken 7, and many more.
There were at least 1800+ players competing in the Tekken 7 bracket. Arslan made his way to the top and in his final match, he found South Korea’s Jae Min ”Knee” Bae.
The match was a good 20-minute long nail-biting match but in the end, it was Arslan who got the crown. Here is the final match between the two and winning moments of Arslan.
