Evo is esports’ most iconic tournament.
With a nearly 30-year legacy and the largest open brackets in gaming, winning Evo is the highest, and hardest, achievement in the fighting game community.
But at Evo 2024's Tekken 8 tournament, Arslan Ash, the best Tekken 7 player of all time, was looking for more than his fifth trophy. He was looking for direction, to prove he could adapt, to prove he could win, no matter what.
Tekken has changed. Evo has changed. The fighting game community has changed.
And if Arslan wanted to be the best in the world, he’d have to change too, and risk everything.
