The Rebirth of the Lord of Tekken

Arslan Ash was the symbol of a whole country.

For a shining moment, Arslan stood on top of the Tekken world - but the opposition rallied.

Arslan didn’t fall off, but he did fall behind. And he wanted more: he wanted to stand at the apex of Tekken 7 once again, to conquer the world - to make history.

Arslan Ash wanted to win - and no one could stop him.

  • Pakistan’s appearance as a world power in Tekken was nothing short of something out of an anime. For years we believed there was nobody who could best Korea or Japan, until Arslan shows up and lets us know there exists a land of entirely different monsters.
  • @Sam--506
    It's been over 3 years of no Tekken News, i just want to tell everyone that a year ago (2023) Arslan got married, and I'm happy for him!
  • @newtypeJP
    peak era of change when arslan came on the evo scene, it was like a flood of new style coming out of pakistan. everyone was so used to korea and japan dominating tekken. then came arslan true underdog story.
  • @islandboy9381
    I think what Arslan shows the most is that there are many gods/monsters out there for these games/competitions but are unfairly denied access due to the shitty world circumstances, that only makes it more beautiful though when we do see them bloom and thus make the community bloom more than ever.
  • @berserker2.0
    His entire 2023 run was the most dominating Tekken performance I've ever seen.
  • @MrCrypto137
    Pakistan and especially Arslan Ash´ Tekken story is so amazing. A country that no one had on their list brought up the best Tekken 7 Player ever. Esports is amazing, love it.
  • @samtheweeb4573
    Arslan is on a level that only a few in billions have achieved. Like 4 EVOs and Final TWT. Not to mention he won an FGC treble for TEKKEN. The man is a legend in a few years and has such an amazing story that touches your heart. Good luck Arslan Ash
  • @DespairMagic
    Man not just hitting the lab with characters but also hitting the gym it seems. Looking big champ. Keep it up King of Iron Fist!
  • @Noum77
    Being carried by his teammates in the last team battle against Korea was a wake up call for him
  • @pranav_prabhakar
    as a fellow neighbouring Indian, I am so proud of him and Atif to put South Asia on the map in international esports. This is only their beginning. Edit : there seems to be a lot of confusion as to why I said "South Asia" for an achievement of Pakistani player(s). I just want to make it clear that I am not trying to fit into your country's achievements, I just am celebrating Arslan's success in his field, and from someone down in South Asia, he's one of the only few who have excelled in eSports. I have followed him for a long time and his success makes me happy and gives the esports audience of Pakistan a reason to be proud too. I do not see why I should have nationalistic pride (as a Pakistani) when I am Indian. No hate to my people over the border, let's celebrate his success together :)

    The ginormous balls Arslan have to pick Katarina in a Grand Final
  • @Astrohhh
    I've never played, nor ever watched Tekken.. and I really enjoyed this video. Exciting stuff! I'm definitely going to tune in to the next tournament.
  • @yoruzeruel5009
    Back in 2019 he was a complete unknown from an unknown region that was never in the map for competition, by miracle he got to travel to his first EVO, 4 years later, Arslan Ash has cemented himself as The Best Tekken player in the world. Truly inspirational, a real legend.
  • @BullC6
    Era of Atif Butt and Arslan is coming.
  • @t7justkc64
    The score esports missed the momentous moment when knee coached lowhigh and atif coaching arslan. That moment is still giving goosebumps
  • @PhiDX
    WOOOO I MADE IT ON A VIDEO
