Pakistan’s Muhammad Zubair has won the Tekken 8 championship at the Esports World Cup (EWC) in Paris, defeating South Korea’s LowHigh 5-0 in the grand final to become the game’s new world champion.
Zubair completed his title run at the tournament held from August 5 to 8 after surviving a difficult start and then producing a series of major wins against some of the biggest names in the Tekken competitive scene.
Zubair’s path to the title included a major victory over fellow Pakistani star Arslan “Ash” Siddique in the second group stage on Friday. He then faced Arslan again in the semifinals on Saturday, where he edged out the eight-time Evolution Championship Series (Evo) champion in a thrilling 5-4 encounter.
After securing his place in the final, Zubair delivered a far more dominant performance against LowHigh. He swept the South Korean player 5-0 to seal the championship in emphatic fashion.
The victory earned Zubair the Tekken 8 world championship title along with a $250,000 cash prize.
