The Unknown Tekken God: How Arslan Ash Overcame Borders and Legends to Win Evo Japan

The underdog never has it easy.
The odds are always stacked against them, often from birth.
There are dozens, hundreds of obstacles standing between them and greatness.
But in the end, when it really matters, they beat those odds.
Arslan Ash came out of nowhere to win Evo Japan. But his underdog story didn’t start with the grand finals.

Something about a good underdog story that really hits the feels man.

[@leojones1964]

EVO Japan 2019 Grand Finals was amazing, because of the emotional investment from both players. From AK and the underrepresented Philippines, and Arslan from Pakistan, another underrated country for Tekken. None of the big names made it to the grand finals and that's something you normally don't see. Arslan really deserved this win.

[@vsp9700]

Pakistan 🇵🇰 has many players which are equally better or more best then arslan ash , but sadly our government or support body don't support this talented guys as much as they need .

[@faizanbaig2840]

you dont know how surprised I was when I learnt about a Pakistani guy becoming a Tekken 7 Champion in Japan. Was so hard to believe at first. But now as I watched this video and came to know about all the hardships he had to face and become successful, my respect for him has increased thousand folds. Thank you Arsalan, may you keep making us proud and be beaten by another Pakistani in another EVO tournament. A fellow Pakistani!
