The Pakistani Tekken 7 phenom had never competed in a major international tournament before October 2018. But now at the end of 2019, he is an international star and the only person to ever win the Evolution Championship Series Japan and its American counterpart in the same year.
He not only became Tekken’s top player for most of 2019 but inspired other Pakistani players who competed internationally and found success as the year went on.
