Pakistan’s renowned esports champion Arslan “Ash” Siddique has once again made history by securing his sixth Evolution Championship Series (EVO) title at EVO 2025, held in Las Vegas.
Arslan triumphed over fellow Pakistani player Atif Butt in a thrilling Tekken 7 Grand Final, marking an all-Pakistani showdown on one of the world’s biggest competitive gaming stages. With this victory, Arslan became the first player in history to win four EVO Tekken 7 titles, further solidifying his legacy as one of the greatest players in fighting game history.
The global tournament featured more than 2,500 participants from across the world, showcasing elite talent from Asia, North America, and Europe. Arslan’s consistent dominance not only highlighted his individual brilliance but also underscored Pakistan’s growing influence in the international esports arena.
Representing Twisted Minds, Arslan expressed gratitude and pride after his historic win.
“Six EVO titles — what started as a kid grinding in gaming arcades became something I never imagined. This victory is for Pakistan,” he said.
Arslan’s journey — from humble beginnings in Lahore’s local gaming arcades to standing atop the world of esports — has inspired countless young gamers in Pakistan and beyond. His continued success is seen as a major milestone for South Asia’s competitive gaming scene and a testament to Pakistan’s emerging talent in global esports.
