Reigning Tekken World Tour champion Arslan Ash faced an unexpected exit from the Tekken 8 tournament.

Ash, widely regarded as the favorite to win the competition, lost 2-1 to Ulsan in the early rounds and was subsequently defeated 2-0 by JeonDDing, marking a premature end to his campaign.

Following his elimination, Arslan Ash took to Twitter to express his thoughts, saying “Alhamdulilah for everything. InshaAllah next year,” reflecting both gratitude and determination to come back stronger in future competitions.

Just a day before his defeat, Ash had a memorable encounter with Brazilian football superstar Neymar Jr. at the sidelines of the Esports World Cup in Saudi Arabia. The meeting was especially significant as it coincided with Ash’s birthday, with the Pakistani gamer expressing his excitement on Twitter, stating “Couldn’t have asked for a better birthday present than meeting Neymar Jr.! Thanks for making my day!”

Neymar, who currently plays for Saudi football club Al Hilal, was present at the event to participate in a celebrity showmatch aimed at promoting Esports.

As a passionate Esports fan himself, Neymar is also a part-owner of FURIA Esports, Brazil’s largest Esports organization, highlighting his deep involvement in the gaming community.
