Facing off against South Korea in the upper bracket finals, Pakistan delivered a commanding performance, sweeping the series with a flawless 3-0 victory. However, their journey to victory was not without challenges, as South Korea bounced back to claim the Losers' Finals and earn their spot in the grand finals.
Undeterred, Pakistan displayed resilience and strength in the face of adversity. In a nail-biting showdown, the Pakistani team once again emerged triumphant, solidifying their dominance in the tournament. Their exceptional performance throughout the event earned them a significant share of the $1 million USD prize pool.
From the group stage to the playoffs, Pakistan's prowess remained unmatched. They dominated their opponents in Group C, securing an impressive 3-0 scoreline and securing a place in the playoffs. Demonstrating their unwavering consistency, Pakistan maintained their position in the upper bracket throughout the event, culminating in resounding victories against the United Kingdom in the Semi-finals and South Korea in both the Winners' Finals and the Grand Finals.
The Pakistani team, consisting of Arslan Ash, Atif Butt, and Imran Khan, proved to be a formidable force. While Ash, widely regarded as one of the best Tekken players in the world, faced a setback in the Grand Finals, losing all three matches against Bae "Knee" Jae-Min, his teammates stepped up to the challenge. Their unwavering support and exceptional gameplay ensured that Pakistan emerged victorious, claiming the lion's share of the prize money.
