Arslan Ash, the e-sports champion of Pakistan, was unexpectedly eliminated in the opening round of the Tekken 8 competition at the Esports World Cup on Wednesday. Arslan, a five-time EVO champion, shocked the crowd because they thought he would be a serious competitor.
He fell to Ulsan 2-1 at first, and then to JeonDDing 2-0. According to reports, Arslan had problems with his arcade stick and had to borrow one from Sajawal, a rival. Regretfully, he had trouble adjusting and was removed before his time.
For background, Arslan Ash won his fifth EVO Tekken 8 title last month by defeating Atif Butt in the Grand Finals in Las Vegas. Despite a difficult start, Arslan won the final with a decisive hit, reinforcing his domination in the e-sports industry.
Arslan shared his thankfulness on social media, writing, “I’ve done it again, Alhamdulillah, my fifth EVO title, but certainly not my last. This victory is for Pakistan and everyone who pushes boundaries! “I am not done yet.”
