In an upset-filled tournament, Saudi Arabia’s finest Tekken 8 player, Exodia, emerged victorious over Pakistan’s Qasim Meer at the Saudi Fighting League Season 2 Major. The event drew in top talent, including reigning Tekken World Tour champion Arslan Ash, who was surprisingly eliminated early by Shaman and later by YAZ.
Saudi team R8x’s new Pakistani recruit, Hafiz Adeel, put on a strong showing before falling to Nugget in the winners quarterfinals. He later fell to iKiryuuu in losers round 10.
Pakistani players initially dominated, but Qasim Meer became their last hope, fighting his way through the losers bracket with exceptional skill. In the winners bracket, Exodia was on fire, defeating Nawaf, Hafiz Tanveer, and Tekken Master before reaching the Grand Finals against Qasim Meer.
