LAS VEGAS: Pakistan’s renowned Tekken player Arslan Ash has added another feather to his legacy by winning the sixth Tekken 8 title at the Evolution Championship Series (EVO) 2025 in Las Vegas, United States.

Ash, real name Arslan Siddique, defeated fellow countryman Atif Butt at the premier global esports event, which featured over 2,500 players as part of the Tekken World Tour and Esports World Cup qualifiers.

EVO shared a video of the final round won by Siddique on social media, captioning it, “Greatness on another level. Congratulations to your back-to-back  TEKKEN 8 Champion, Arslan Ash.”

Ash hails from Lahore and has won several international Tekken competitions.

In July 2023, he was part of the Pakistani trio that clinched the Nations Cup in Riyadh, the first-ever country-based Tekken tournament, where Pakistan remained unbeaten throughout.

In August 2023, Siddique became the first professional gamer to win the Tekken 7 title four times, and also triumphed at the Uprising Korea 2023 tournament in Seoul.

Over the years, Siddique has secured multiple EVO titles, including EVO Las Vegas (2019, 2023, 2024) and EVO Japan (2019, 2023), cementing his legacy as one of the greatest in Tekken history.
