When a player from an unknown region comes in and just dominates then says "I'm not even the best where I'm from" is like an anime villain crushing the main character and then finding out the dude has a boss

I was smiling the whole entire time like an idiot and loved every second of it. I was moved by arslans story. Such an awesome man. I'm Mexican American by the way. Kudos to all of you.
He's literally the hero's journey embodied in a person. It's fucking amazing. It's even got so many tropes that we see nowdays: "A man forged in a secret underworld of combat and competition" "nobody knew of or respected the skills of his dojo (country)", "he had to prove himself against all odds and expectations." You can't write better material for movies/tv shows if you tried. This kid is a legend already in the making
It means a lot for Knee I suppose, he did seem a little reserved in the hug, because if I am not mistaken hugging in Korean is mainly a couples/family thing only and a bit out of norm for them to hug anyone else.
Knee is a well known player in Pakistan.. when he went to Pakistan to train he was whole heatedly welcomed.. Knee has been the god of Tekken since forever and a lot of Pakistani players look up to him..
moments like these are my favourite. on a smaller scale of course, but i can remember many instances where i or the opponent would go for a fistbump, just to be one-upped. it really is beautiful seeing that emotion amplified to this level in such an incredible story
knee's reaction shows why he's been a champion for so long. upon encountering and being defeated by arslan, his reaction wasn't "i want to beat him, i hate him, etc etc." his reaction was "I want to go to pakistan and learn from them. i want to get better."

@@Vorusen well, self discipline isn't the only way to improve in fighting games, you can also be the opposite, as recklessness may also be used to catch your opponents off guard. It just mostly ends up on your own mindset, but always keep in mind the basics of the fighting game you play. Fighting games are not like hack and slash games, they are like boss fights. Every opponent is a boss but both of you have the same advantage (except those times that you and your opponent end up in a very unbalanced game and he picks an overpowered character).

Hope Ash has a even more successful career 🤘😎
Bro, we need People like u to make more Love between Pakistan and India. I m really Pleased seeing that there r people like u still alive. Love from Pakistan❤❤❤
Thats honestly true for the entire country of Pakistan. My desperate hope is that Pakistan grows in a way that is stable, not with hundreds of companies flooding in, doing their disgusting immoral activities to make money. Because if a country comes up that way, thats not a win, that is a loss. If a country comes up that way, it saps away all the nutrients from the soil, preventing further growth.
Pakistan is like that hidden forgotten faction lying in the unknown regions and when the two main factions are so busy fighting a fierce battle they show up outta nowhere and obliterate them all.
I wanna remind everyone who wasn't a stream monster during this, EVOtwitch made the mistake of not having a Pakistani flag emote. So in order to show support for Arslan (and also call out the fluke from EVO), they used the Mexican flag instead. Also...trust me when I say chat went 187mph. One of my fav top 8s and grand finals of all time.
Stories like this. Arslan Ash and the Pakistani Tekken scene. Knee's humility to accept defeat, learn new techniques and him finding a new rival in Arslan. People rallying behind players so that they can play overseas. Man, the FGC community is SO MUCH BETTER than the MOBA community. I freakin' love it.
Now that is a healthy rivalry. I heard Knee got even better after fighting enough matches agaist Arslan. I guess you can only improve by fighting someone at your level or above you.
Well its about time this came out. Ever since Arslan won in Dubai Ive been really interested in Pakistan's Tekken scene and they are beasts. Arslan is such a nice and humble guy so major props to him. Now the only thing that stops Pakistan from ruling the Tekken world is their worst matchup. The VISA.
I'm a fg vet and i dont think this video, as well-made as it was, comes close to explaining the significance of Arslan's and Pakistan's accomplishment. His skill and performance this year proves to EVERYONE, that no matter how isolated or disconnected your offline scene is from the rest of the world, if your scene has the dedication, drive, and hunger, you can sharpen each other to the point that you surpass even the fuckin Koreans, who has the most fleshed out, competitive Tekken arcade scenes ALL OVER the country. There has never been a story like this in the history of all esports. Imagine if some random poor country that barely has a pro basketball league, came out and destroyed the American NBA circuit. That's basically what Arslan and Pakistan did. Everyone knows Korea to be the powerhouse of eSports, one whose dominance in Tekken is known world-wide, acknowledged, and documented. Story of Arslan just *shouldn't* happen, but it did. He showed the world that anything is possible. Truly amazing. They have to make this into at least an hour long documentary to really get everything across.
Marwa Pranata I want to donate money to e fight pass. As an American who travels a lot, it is unfair. It easy for me to travel to most countries on the planet, even though I am simple. There are so many people who are brilliant but are limited due to politics. In my opinion most of the geniuses in world live in the “third world”,. I have interacted with them during my travels. I wish to help them inspire the world. We need it now.
I am an Indian but feeling proud for Arslan, somebody who belongs to Asia and becoming popular in Japanese tournament, and the best part of him is zero attitude! Love from India brother
Watching someone who has learnt to play video game under the situation where parents won't allow so you play secretly, then becoming pro then beating world class pros makes me feel happy for him.... 🇮🇳I am an Indian who is proud on such a player from Pakistan who struggled alot. 🇮🇳
@BeRon not God like bro..no human can be God like..God is only one...Arsalan is just the best player of tekken out there and that we all agree on...and i think he'll be happier if you'll call him that instead of God like...i am a muslim and also from Pakistan... calling someone GOD like isn't our thing...so i hope you won't mind me pointing that out to you
Arslan's story is so inspiring. An amazing champ! There are more Pakistanis yet to be seen on the big stage so keep your eyes peeled! The future of Tekken is looking bright! Thanks for this video!
If its possible, TWT should have a major tourney is Pakistan. EVO Japan shows off hidden killers from Asia who don't have the ability or time to travel so why not do it for Pakistan? Considering 1 US dollar is worth 156.65 Pakistani Rupee I imagine running a big tourney in Pakistan wouldn't be that expensive so you have solid profit potential. Also, huge fan of you Spag.
@@robertgeorge4602 Probably next year they'll have a masters event in Pakistan. They do have one in Dubai which will be happening in November, which most of the Pakistani players will be going to.
What an insane story. He really followed through with his dreams and became a champion. Well done, Arslan, from an Australian/Turk. Inspirational for everyone in the gaming scene.
I would like to say that firstly this whole video is awesome, giving tribute to a guy who not only came to win the tournament but to represent our country, and show the whole world that if given chance we have the ability to rock the world, the whole country prayers are with this boy. And one day I pray that Pakistan will host TWT finals
World: If we beat you, the top spot is ours again, right? Arslan: I don't know about that, I am rank 16th in Pakistan. This is not even Pakistan's final form. Yeah, crazy.
Meanwhile, there are players not even known by masses in Pakistan. And believe me they won't even let arsalan to win one time in hundered. I myself have witnessed such gurus.
That is Arslan being humble. Arslan is the best Pakistani player right now. Arslan has won over 8 tournaments at Pakistan this year and is also dominant at long sets.
Much love from the Philippines, Arslan! Power to the Pakistan Tekken community! I hope more of you guys get the exposure you deserve. 👍😁 Edit: Lol, thanks to that one guy who liked.
Thanks man. AK played really good as well. I wished to see him in the EVO Los Angeles. Also i think Philippine people are really friendly. I have some online Philippine friends. 😊☺️
@@madil2259 I think he was in Evo 2019 in US. Look up smash.gg of Evo 2019 and he was Top 1000+. His spirit was maybe deflated by that Evo Japan 2019 as he was I think seeded but lost to two players immediately. I also found out that his teammate Doujin was there as well but placed 33rd.
@@kriscubero6778 Oh, cool! I just hope he keeps improving. Also, thanks for the 30+ likes! I think this is the most likes I've ever gotten from a "non-informative" comment. 👍😊
You have very good reason to be, the man has done your people proud and honestly, it's been an exciting rise to watch. The thing that gets me the most, and the thing that keeps coming up is this. Arslan is a product of your FGC in the region, in your region there are players as good as Arslan whom just climbed a near-2000 man bracket to beat Knee, best in the world prior to his rise, not once... but twice. Welcome to the FGC, Pakistan... Honestly, I want to know of these 'killers'. I want to see more of these 'killers', and you know what. I doubt I am the only one. For Arslan alone, you have my respect.
@Zayed Haroon Keep in mind that I only speak in the context of the global FGC, which isn't use to this kind of thing happening. In the context of Tekken, it VERY unique... because prior to the start of this year, it was just assumed that we knew all the hot spot regions for the game. BOI, we were wrong on that one. As far as general esports, we'll have to see... I am not so sure that you will have many player come up on say, Rainbow 6, Overwatch, League of Legends, DOTA2 and the like. If only because PC's a still rather high on the pricing end. And for context, I speak of Canadian pricing of PC' components as a Canadian.... Rupee conversion must be murder. That said, would I be against seeing more players from the region in those games? No, I would not. Infact if said players come in and mop the floor @ say, The International? That would be hype as hell.
You know what is funny about that... That is kind of what is happening. Man just BODED EVO and was like "Yo, you think that I'm good? You got to see some of my dudes at home." The region that no-one knew, till now.
@@DuvJones Asim from UK said 5 year ago that Pakistanies can dominate the world. People laughed at him. Funny to see that he is laughing right now at them 😅😅
Man I can't stop crying...I relate so much to this dude in terms of living situation...Kudos to him even getting his first competitive match.....for keeping the dream ALIVE!
To see players from Pakistan getting recognised males me so happy. Pakistan is a place where gaming is considered a curse in some places but that thought is slowly lifting up. Proud of Arsalan and Proud to be a Pakistani.
This is the best story outta every single one in my opinion, This guy comes outta nowhere and dominates the Tekken 7 scene and basically give Pakistan a revolution of new Pakistan players
Doesn't this makes you wonder that how many other hidden tekken communities with very skillful players? i used to think in order to be at EVO player level, you need to experience different play styles from different countries (korea/japan/etc) but Arslan broken this rule, they were playing in a local area day and night until they became monsters, they didn't need anyone from outside to improve their skills.. they simply crushed everyone.. they are all self made through hardcore playing.. amazing!
Respect and Love from India for Arslan Ash man. 🙏 His story is so amazing and inspiring. He truly deserves all the success that he got after putting a lot of passion and hardwork into it. Plus I absolutely his and Knee's relation they are rivals but both of them have mutual respect for each other and both of they just want to learn from each other to get better as a player. I especially salute to Knee for being humble enough to say that he would love to learn from Pakistani Player. Bcoz it's easy to be arrogant when you are such a prolific figure in the market. But he isn't like other people and Similarly for my man Arslan too, he doesn't have any ego or anything like that he doesn't want to beat anyone just for the sake of it. He wants to beat them for himself. So that he can be better. Plus the way he tear up and bowed and prayed when he finally won was really genuine. So I have nothing but love and respect for both Arslan and Knee. I hope more players from Pakistan get their chance to showcase their talent. ❤️
Pakistan is like that random planet of warriors that goku will discover and find out there are fighters stronger than them. This is season 3 arc plot guys
I might be wrong on this but, throughout the whole clashes between Knee vs Arslan, Knee wanted only Arslan and went only this far to vs Arslan. But Arslans determination and pressure from the whole country and family/friends made him win the whole tournament.
Such an Undeniable, Undefeated, Untouchable skill he has I am so happy for Arsalan he make so many histories in Tekken like I have nothing left to say ❤
He is the living legend you don’t have any idea how much sweetheart he is he is so down to earth even after wining those big tournaments he didn’t change his simplicity
I have been playing tekken for the past 11 years and i thought international players are batter than us because they have a strong defense but after seeing our player compete like this. Now I know its not about defense its about attack. Thank you Arslan. He is really our legend.
The words in the end that "Pakistan gave the world ARSLAN ASH" made my eyes to tears and goosebumps so proud of this legend of worlds gaming community and a conqueror ARSLAN ASH
You can see the video's and reviews of tourists about pakistan. You will get your answer. Most of americans has visited to pakistan. Pakistan is much peacful to america
I legit got goosebumps. what a phenomenal story and a true reminder of how much is possible with hard work and patience. As someone living in a developing country, it inspires me so much.
Not just Tekken, Every game that is in E-Sports in filled in out hearts in Pakistan. Kindly send people here, Give us a chance to play and we won't Disappoint you. This is Our Pakistani Hearts.
What other game is popular in Pakistan other than Tekken? Other fighting games perhaps? Or games like DotA, Counter-Strike, League...... Fortnite? lol. Just curious :D

There are gaming zones in every area and everyone is craving to play games like PUBG, CSGO, Dota 2, Fortnite, Tekken and many others. Just wait and watch the future of Pakistani gaming community. Peace.
I'm quoting Arslan from his different interviews esp. the podcost with Junaid Akram bhai where Ash said that his reflexes were very fast when he was a teen esp. when he was 12 yrs old boy. He was always a topper of his class but he never got an opportunity to play outside country at that time due to shortage of money, sponsors and Visa issues. Later on, his father passed away that was quite hard time for his family. He continued his studies along with his gaming passion. At the time when he was a CA student, he got an opportunity so he left CA & went after his passion that was takken amidst all kinds of tough challenges. Credit goes to the friends who supported him & the ppl and the group of UAE who sponsored him early in his career when he had no money to travel abroad n play in foreign tournaments. Unfortunately, there was no opportunity for him to go abroad for foreign tournaments when he was so young n talented. He further said that in his early teens, he won in a tournament in Karachi against the best takken players of Pakistan. Prior to that competition, the organizers said that the Winner of the tournament will get money, opportunity and sponsership to travel abroad and play tournament in Japan that time. But they decieved him and didn't gave him those opportunities as they claimed. They just gave him little amount. Ash said that he always wanted to compete abroad but couldn't go for it b'coz there were no sponsors and govt. usually don't invest much apart from Cricket or few other outdoor games. So, all this talent got wasted. I believe, if Arslan got opportunities like the Koreans, Japanese, Americans and the Europeans, at that time when he was young, story would have been completely different from today. However, he already did so much in his 20's, Ma Sha'ALLAH, that ppl across the gaming world n Takken community started to know him. Arslan ! You are a huge inspiration for a lot of young talented ppl across the region. I really wish good for all other talented players so they don't get waste in any field due to lack of opportunities whether they belong to any country or religion. Always support talented ppl around you. At Least, we can encourage n motivate them. Best of Luck ahead, Arslan Bro. Lots of Prayers n Blessings for Everyone in the world. Huge Love n Respect from Pakistan. ❤🎉😊
When I first Saw Arslan I knew he was gonna be big and dominate the Korean and Japanese players becz trust me when I say I am from Pakistan and there are so many legendary players out there, there was this one guy who was defeating the best of the best players out there, I sometimes imagine if he was in the Evo championship and all, am pretty sure he would become big too. Congrats to Arslan for putting Pakistan on the tekken map. The power of Allah is real
@@faizankhalil1262 Demonsonfire was his nick on Garena. I played a lot with him too, I think he was 9 year olds back then.. was still pretty dope for a 9 yo !
This video is a true tribute just as much to Arsla himself, as to video-game community as well! I used to play Tekken 3 for years when I was a kid, now I discovered Naruto: Ultimate Ninja Storm, and recently figured out what a masterpiece is MKXL (I don't like MK11, nothing will change my mind). Stories like this is what makes me wanna play more! Thanks for making this video, and God bless you Arslan, you are one the best examples of humble success. You CAN be hungry and you still CAN be decent and respectful person!

There's a saying in Pakistan which goes like
"You wont believe how fertile this land is, all it needs a little chance and it will grow you even gold"
Thats honestly true for the entire country of Pakistan. My desperate hope is that Pakistan grows in a way that is stable, not with hundreds of companies flooding in, doing their disgusting immoral activities to make money. Because if a country comes up that way, thats not a win, that is a loss.
If a country comes up that way, it saps away all the nutrients from the soil, preventing further growth.

This is so cool. Knee and Arsan seem like two really humble dudes who love the game, and brought their countries together to spread that love.
I wanna remind everyone who wasn't a stream monster during this, EVOtwitch made the mistake of not having a Pakistani flag emote. So in order to show support for Arslan (and also call out the fluke from EVO), they used the Mexican flag instead. Also...trust me when I say chat went 187mph. One of my fav top 8s and grand finals of all time.
Mexican flag? They ruined it even more 😂 Algeria's🇩🇿 flag is only thing closes to Pakistani flag
@@HamzaKhan-cd9kz i wasnt there, but did they have the Algeria flag tho?
I'm not crying.
You're crying.
But seriously.. Such a beautiful story
Stories like this. Arslan Ash and the Pakistani Tekken scene. Knee's humility to accept defeat, learn new techniques and him finding a new rival in Arslan. People rallying behind players so that they can play overseas. Man, the FGC community is SO MUCH BETTER than the MOBA community. I freakin' love it.
TOTALLY AGREEEEE
Thats a very low bar you set
La Pyae lol truth XD
Now that is a healthy rivalry. I heard Knee got even better after fighting enough matches agaist Arslan. I guess you can only improve by fighting someone at your level or above you.

Well its about time this came out.
Ever since Arslan won in Dubai Ive been really interested in Pakistan's Tekken scene and they are beasts.
Arslan is such a nice and humble guy so major props to him.
Now the only thing that stops Pakistan from ruling the Tekken world is their worst matchup. The VISA.
As a indiAn if I was a film director I would make a movie on struggle and victory of ash
You should bro 👍🏼
Honestly one of the coolest stories in Tekken. Shout out out to Pakistan and Arslan from Australia
I'm a fg vet and i dont think this video, as well-made as it was, comes close to explaining the significance of Arslan's and Pakistan's accomplishment.
His skill and performance this year proves to EVERYONE, that no matter how isolated or disconnected your offline scene is from the rest of the world, if your scene has the dedication, drive, and hunger, you can sharpen each other to the point that you surpass even the fuckin Koreans, who has the most fleshed out, competitive Tekken arcade scenes ALL OVER the country.
There has never been a story like this in the history of all esports. Imagine if some random poor country that barely has a pro basketball league, came out and destroyed the American NBA circuit. That's basically what Arslan and Pakistan did.
Everyone knows Korea to be the powerhouse of eSports, one whose dominance in Tekken is known world-wide, acknowledged, and documented. Story of Arslan just *shouldn't* happen, but it did. He showed the world that anything is possible. Truly amazing. They have to make this into at least an hour long documentary to really get everything across.
Beautifully explained
Thank you
Beautifully explained !
That's the beauty of open invitation tournaments. It gives us beautiful stories like Arslan
Well said.

If its possible, TWT should have a major tourney is Pakistan.
EVO Japan shows off hidden killers from Asia who don't have the ability or time to travel so why not do it for Pakistan?
Considering 1 US dollar is worth 156.65 Pakistani Rupee I imagine running a big tourney in Pakistan wouldn't be that expensive so you have solid profit potential.

Zayed Haroon Respect! It’s crazy to think that Arslan isn’t even the best.... Imagine the entirety of the potential locked within Pakistan.

And one day I pray that Pakistan will host TWT finals
World: If we beat you, the top spot is ours again, right?
Arslan: I don't know about that, I am rank 16th in Pakistan.
This is not even Pakistan's final form. Yeah, crazy.

Meanwhile, there are players not even known by masses in Pakistan. And believe me they won't even let arsalan to win one time in hundered. I myself have witnessed such gurus.

I'm from Pakistan and I m proud of you Arslan
You have very good reason to be, the man has done your people proud and honestly, it's been an exciting rise to watch. The thing that gets me the most, and the thing that keeps coming up is this. Arslan is a product of your FGC in the region, in your region there are players as good as Arslan whom just climbed a near-2000 man bracket to beat Knee, best in the world prior to his rise, not once... but twice.
Welcome to the FGC, Pakistan... Honestly, I want to know of these 'killers'. I want to see more of these 'killers', and you know what. I doubt I am the only one.
For Arslan alone, you have my respect.
@Zayed Haroon Keep in mind that I only speak in the context of the global FGC, which isn't use to this kind of thing happening. In the context of Tekken, it VERY unique... because prior to the start of this year, it was just assumed that we knew all the hot spot regions for the game. BOI, we were wrong on that one.
As far as general esports, we'll have to see... I am not so sure that you will have many player come up on say, Rainbow 6, Overwatch, League of Legends, DOTA2 and the like. If only because PC's a still rather high on the pricing end. And for context, I speak of Canadian pricing of PC' components as a Canadian.... Rupee conversion must be murder.
That said, would I be against seeing more players from the region in those games? No, I would not. Infact if said players come in and mop the floor @ say, The International? That would be hype as hell.
Arslan: Wins EVO 2019
Also Arslan: My Big Brother plays this as well
Edit: Thanks for the amount of likes 🙏
Hahahahaha lmao
You know what is funny about that... That is kind of what is happening. Man just BODED EVO and was like "Yo, you think that I'm good? You got to see some of my dudes at home."

@@DuvJones Asim from UK said 5 year ago that Pakistanies can dominate the world. People laughed at him. Funny to see that he is laughing right now at them 😅😅
Being from pakistan this guy is such an inspiration for me and other competitive players. Its really crazy how far you can go in video games.
it is not that he is a champion which makes him special, it is that he is humble after all that success that gives me goosebumps. Go on you champ
massive respect to my brother Ash , love from India . I hope you continue to beat these Korean gods for decades .
The grand finals between knee and arslan at evo this year was unavoidable.
It was their destiny to meet in EVO Grand Finals.
@Umar Farooq Isn't there this Steve player called Heera Malik? What about him?
Just like jdcr vs majin. Underdog vs tekken god.
That moment when the shonen protagonist(Knee) sees that his most dangerous rival (Arslan) gets beaten by someone else of the country as his rival.
Me: You crying bro?
You: I am bro.
Me: Also me bro.
Thank you Thescore for making another Video for Arslan Ash. Fan here from Philippines.
Yes bro
Man I can't stop crying...I relate so much to this dude in terms of living situation...Kudos to him even getting his first competitive match.....for keeping the dream ALIVE!
I am from India and looking at his struggle i feel so proud of him. What a legend!
Tekken has the best esports scene hands down. Nothing will ever be more hype than knee vs arslan
Best Anime I've seen in a while, can't wait till next season

Lol yeah.
All those goosebumps and tears while watching the story!
Arslan and Knee's friendly rivalry is amazing. They should make an anime about it
To see players from Pakistan getting recognised males me so happy. Pakistan is a place where gaming is considered a curse in some places but that thought is slowly lifting up. Proud of Arsalan and Proud to be a Pakistani.
I love how the narrator said "good ass tekken" on the last part.
Had to scroll this far
Shout out to Tasty Steve.
"Good ass Tekken"
Tasty Steve's legacy
This is the best story outta every single one in my opinion,
This guy comes outta nowhere and dominates the Tekken 7 scene and basically give Pakistan a revolution of new Pakistan players
Doesn't this makes you wonder that how many other hidden tekken communities with very skillful players?
i used to think in order to be at EVO player level, you need to experience different play styles from different countries (korea/japan/etc) but Arslan broken this rule, they were playing in a local area day and night until they became monsters, they didn't need anyone from outside to improve their skills.. they simply crushed everyone.. they are all self made through hardcore playing.. amazing!
Respect and Love from India for Arslan Ash man. 🙏 His story is so amazing and inspiring. He truly deserves all the success that he got after putting a lot of passion and hardwork into it.
Plus I absolutely his and Knee's relation they are rivals but both of them have mutual respect for each other and both of they just want to learn from each other to get better as a player. I especially salute to Knee for being humble enough to say that he would love to learn from Pakistani Player. Bcoz it's easy to be arrogant when you are such a prolific figure in the market. But he isn't like other people and Similarly for my man Arslan too, he doesn't have any ego or anything like that he doesn't want to beat anyone just for the sake of it. He wants to beat them for himself. So that he can be better. Plus the way he tear up and bowed and prayed when he finally won was really genuine. So I have nothing but love and respect for both Arslan and Knee. I hope more players from Pakistan get their chance to showcase their talent. ❤️
Most touching story I’ve heard in a long time…
All my respects and endless admiration for the Pakistanis players ❤️❤️❤️
Pakistan is like that random planet of warriors that goku will discover and find out there are fighters stronger than them. This is season 3 arc plot guys
That's actually really accurate,goku is just like knee.If he sees someone stronger than him he just wants to get stronger.
I might be wrong on this but, throughout the whole clashes between Knee vs Arslan, Knee wanted only Arslan and went only this far to vs Arslan. But Arslans determination and pressure from the whole country and family/friends made him win the whole tournament.

This is the most anime shit i've ever heared and i love it
I Literally start playing Tekken 7 because of Arslan and use Kazumi as my main.
Same, im just inspired
Same, but with different character
Pakistan has always been into tekken, been seeing their support and comments for years. unfortunate we dont get to see more!
I'm quoting Arslan from his different interviews esp. the podcost with Junaid Akram bhai where Ash said that his reflexes were very fast when he was a teen esp. when he was 12 yrs old boy. He was always a topper of his class but he never got an opportunity to play outside country at that time due to shortage of money, sponsors and Visa issues. Later on, his father passed away that was quite hard time for his family. He continued his studies along with his gaming passion. At the time when he was a CA student, he got an opportunity so he left CA & went after his passion that was takken amidst all kinds of tough challenges. Credit goes to the friends who supported him & the ppl and the group of UAE who sponsored him early in his career when he had no money to travel abroad n play in foreign tournaments.
Unfortunately, there was no opportunity for him to go abroad for foreign tournaments when he was so young n talented. He further said that in his early teens, he won in a tournament in Karachi against the best takken players of Pakistan. Prior to that competition, the organizers said that the Winner of the tournament will get money, opportunity and sponsership to travel abroad and play tournament in Japan that time. But they decieved him and didn't gave him those opportunities as they claimed. They just gave him little amount. Ash said that he always wanted to compete abroad but couldn't go for it b'coz there were no sponsors and govt. usually don't invest much apart from Cricket or few other outdoor games. So, all this talent got wasted. I believe, if Arslan got opportunities like the Koreans, Japanese, Americans and the Europeans, at that time when he was young, story would have been completely different from today. However, he already did so much in his 20's, Ma Sha'ALLAH, that ppl across the gaming world n Takken community started to know him. Arslan ! You are a huge inspiration for a lot of young talented ppl across the region. I really wish good for all other talented players so they don't get waste in any field due to lack of opportunities whether they belong to any country or religion. Always support talented ppl around you. At Least, we can encourage n motivate them.
Best of Luck ahead, Arslan Bro. Lots of Prayers n Blessings for Everyone in the world. Huge Love n Respect from Pakistan. ❤🎉😊
