Despite strong attendance from top players, including EVO France 2025 champion Arslan “Arslan Ash” Siddique and Nopparut “Book” Hempamorn, local competitors stole the spotlight.
Arslan was upset early by Abid Rajpoot and later eliminated by Shehram Tariq, while Book exited at 17th place after losing to Hafiz Tanveer, highlighting the depth of talent in the Pakistani Tekken scene.
