Arslan Ash Siddique, a Pakistani gamer, won the Tekken 7 competition at EVO Japan 2023 on Sunday by defeating South Korea’s Meo-IL. This was Ash’s third EVO title, with his first win coming in 2019. Winning EVO Japan was important to Ash because it was where he began his gaming journey. He won his first title in 2019, and last year, he finished third in the EVO 2022 Tekken 7 competition.
In the EVO Japan 2023 final, Ash played as Zafina and dominated Meo-IL, using Geese Howard, 3-0 in the final leg. He eliminated Meo-IL with the character Zafina in the tournament final on Friday. The winning moment was a dream come true for Arslan Ash, who had been waiting for it for a long time.
Arslan Ash has become a household name in the gaming world, and his consecutive wins in gaming have cemented his position at the top. He has also given hope to the youth of Pakistan that it is possible to become a top-level competitive gamer, even if you are from Pakistan.
EVO is the world’s largest fighting game tournament where players from around the world gather in Las Vegas to compete against each other. EVO Japan is another world championship in the same spirit as the main EVO tournament. Another Pakistani gamer, Atif Butt, emerged as the new “King of the Iron Fist” in February after winning the Tekken World Tour 2022 videogame tournament in Amsterdam, Netherlands. Butt was a member of the team founded by Ash himself.
