Update: This story has been updated with final results.
This weekend will be the host of a special Tekken 8 team event between Pakistan and Korea with the event taking place in Seoul, South Korea.
The players participating in this team event are TM|Arslan Ash, DRX|Knee, Falcons|Atif, KDF|Ulsan, Falcons|Farzeen, Varrel|Rangchu, QAD|TheJon, KDF|CBM, Fate|Numan Ch, VIT|JeonDDing, ROC|Usama Abbasi, KDF|Mulgold, TM|Hafiz Tanveer and DRX|Chanel.
For the longest time, South Korea was the most dominant force in competitive Tekken but halfway through Tekken 7, that all changed when TM|Arslan Ash won Evo Japan 2019.
After putting his country Pakistan on the map, many more beasts emerged from the country and the battle between Pakistan and South Korea in Tekken has become one of the most enduring and celebrated storylines in the fighting game community.
This weekend, we’re going to see a conclusion to it, at least for the time being, as this team battle unfolds between seven of the best players from each country.
Streaming is being done at BAAZ GG.
