One thing to note he carried an organization that already went bankrupt. When PBE’s management left it was only AK and the PBE PUBG team that was left, AK used his tournament winnings and salary to pay the entire PUBG lineup. That’s why I’m so happy he got picked by NaVi.
@@MADXBLU It’s actually bittersweet. He said in a local podcast, If he lost that tournament he would stop playing Tekken because he didn’t have any financial support let alone being paid by an org. So glad Navi picked him up.
Why always consider the loss of Pakistani Players a redemption?? Pakistani players never showed aggression and redemption towards any player then why world behaves like that.
@@Nj-pk hes not insulting pakistan dude, hes giving credit to pakistan because they are such a good region right now and for ak to beat 2 of the top players from theat region is a very big accomplishment. stop reading too much into things
The fact that this man beat 2 giant from Pakistan in the same tournament, not even losing a set and to top it all he didn't even let Arslan Ash gets a reset in Grand Final is Godlike
@@Nj-pk and? its not like im taking all those win from him. just like every pakistani were proud when arsalan won EVO Japan for the first time, all Filipino's are also proud of AK for this win
Tbh it's truly refreshing to see that other countries can get their own moments. Remember the old times where korean players dominate tekken that it looks like nobody can beat them? Then comes arslan got us by surprise and now it's AK moment he's year he's season he owned it and now we all thinking who's gonna take it the next season. Good for AK he truly deserve it let's see if he continues to dominate now that he got sponsored💯👍
thanks to the game shaking things up that safe play from korean has always been the only way to play professional tekken. Thank god they changed it in tekken 8.
Have to say Arslan, Even Farzeen Pushed AK to Limits, Like The Farzeen Match was Insane, Like Crazy Crazy, as A Pakistani i was bit disappointed but beating 2 Top Guns of Pakistani Tekken scene is no Joke bro, Here hats Off to AK ❤
NGL this is some top level shounen shi-. Arslan, the newcomer who won it against AK, then rapidly became the GOAT. AK, the long time prodigy who can never win the big one. A rematch for the ages where AK finally takes his spot amongst the greatest to ever do it.
Evo Japan 2019 is the first Tekken tournament that I watched and I always happy to be one of people who witnessed the rise of Arslan Ash. Happy to see AK finally got his long-desired champion too. SEA Pride!
@@hyperceptional People have bad runs, Arslan literally lost to a no-name in a Tier 2 tournament a few months back but that doesn't make him bad. Point is, you don't need to bring one guy down to lift someone up. Both are amazing goated players, while you uhh.... yeah you're in the comments section.
Happy for SEAS bro getting recognition he deserved. I also think that Book from Thailand also has interesting journey in his own right. He's the sole Thai tekken representative on international stage for 6 years and Won a EVO japan champ in 2020. Would like a video on him as well.
Book needs to come to Pakistan that’s the difference. Pakistan has genius’s committed to one character like Ahsan Ali, Skyler etc. book has not come yet.
AK put in the work, we remember he was a prodigious kid back in the TTT2 days and turned himself into a powerhouse Tekken player representing his country.
Idk why you have to post this at someones glory video. You have insecurities or something? Both are amazing players its just that "fans" like you need to spread this righteousness when it's not even about them.
Power to you AK! So proud to see a fellow filipino winning and being the best at what he does! Galingan mo kapatid! Pakita mo kaya rin naten filipino mag content and win sa tournament!
its a shame its so expensive to compete because ak is clearly one of the best of the best. this might be his first place finish but being able to so many top 3 finishes for so long is one hell of an achievement
The one thing people wanted to cheer against that event was seeing those overtuned characters winning so when Shaheen of all characters was making a run through everyonr was definitely hyped
The Lesson is never give up ,your goals in to your life,, mentally emotionally and physically then so much patient ,, and learn your fighter character and give your emotion and love .. support from Philippines ❤
Yeah We Have Tekken Players Here... You can see them Regularly in Time Zone! That Arcade Game is the Highlight of the Whole place . Like a Small Tournament everyday.
Filipinos are known as the hypest crowd in any esport event, regardless if they're cheering for the home team/player or not. It's nice to see the reverse of that this time -- where the one being cheered on the loudest is a Filipino player. GG gratz, AK. Byutipul! 👌👌
It's even more amazing since in the Philippines there is no one even close to AK in skill and no one he could actually have a worthwhile practicing partner. Well played to him.
"For a while, the only other consistent high profile Shaheen main in top tier tekken was Gen." Lowhigh just chilling on the side I. Though he was also sidelined for a bit from his own personal controversy 😅
Its so sad that Ahsan Ali who is a better Shaheen user than AK from whom AK even learnt the certain move sets and styles can't compete in international tournaments due to VISA issues.
I'll be honest, I done bets with a friend on who'd win the tournament and I had thought AK would definitely win but decided to pick another guy. boy did that surprise me on how I was right but also wrong for not choosing him.

AYO WTF HOW COME ESPORTS SCORE FORGOT ABOUT THIS
Wow, what wholesome story!
@@MADXBLU It’s actually bittersweet. He said in a local podcast, If he lost that tournament he would stop playing Tekken because he didn’t have any financial support let alone being paid by an org. So glad Navi picked him up.
He also sacrificed getting a car or going to law school for the combo breaker stint. It paid off in dividends.❤
Thats a dumb decision. He’ll never earn what a real businessman would make in real life vs esports winnings
Beating two Pakistani Tekken giants in the same tournament is NO JOKE! AK had the redemption of a lifetime!
Why always consider the loss of Pakistani Players a redemption?? Pakistani players never showed aggression and redemption towards any player then why world behaves like that.
@@Nj-pkIt's not that serious, brother. Cry somewhere else
Because Pakistan are in another level.
@@Nj-pk hes not insulting pakistan dude, hes giving credit to pakistan because they are such a good region right now and for ak to beat 2 of the top players from theat region is a very big accomplishment. stop reading too much into things
@@Nj-pk just grow up and stop victimising. It‘s not that serious
AK's coach is Mawts, the best and most decorated Nina player of the Philippines. AK definitely knew the Nina matchup well, even if it was Arslan.
EGC reprezent!
had the honor of facing mawts and ak in ranked, got my ass beat by the both of them lol
@@jesterpester1425 An incredible honor
now AK got the recognition
Good. Kid is good... pity about Arslan Ash @ Japan.
The fact that this man beat 2 giant from Pakistan in the same tournament, not even losing a set and to top it all he didn't even let Arslan Ash gets a reset in Grand Final is Godlike
Only to not make it out of round 1 at evo while the goat, well.
@@hyperceptional bro is a professional hater 💀
theScore esport in 2019: "in another universe, EVO Japan would have been his story(AK)"
2024: CHAMPION!!!!!!!
But it wasn't evo though
@@doriyahh The level of competition was though, just check the brackets
@@benzycabral you've forgotten the 5 times Evo Champ 👑 Arsalan🏆🥇
@@doriyahh when arsalan beat knee in OUG 2018, would you have also said "but it wasn't EVO!"? combo breaker is also a tier 1 event, just like EVO
@@Nj-pk and? its not like im taking all those win from him. just like every pakistani were proud when arsalan won EVO Japan for the first time, all Filipino's are also proud of AK for this win
I watched AK in his glorious run in 2019 and how Arslan swept it away from him live. Seeing him win after Combo Breaker was an amazing vindication
Tbh it's truly refreshing to see that other countries can get their own moments. Remember the old times where korean players dominate tekken that it looks like nobody can beat them?

Crowd was wild during that Combo Breaker run. They were chanting A-K to the beat of Shaheen's combos.
Harada: Wait? What? A guy from Filipine win a big tournament? Time to put Josie in season 2 of Tekken 8 :)
hopefully :)

I love when he says tekken gave him a chance again it shows his loyalty to this game that probably gave him more than he could've ever imagined

All the hot girls are his mains
@@belasstrongestwarrior couldn't disagree

Got recommend this channel 3 or 4 years ago give or take. The quality consistency is something to admire for sure
AK put in the work, we remember he was a prodigious kid back in the TTT2 days and turned himself into a powerhouse Tekken player representing his country.
I was waiting for this story. He went through much challenges in his career then finally came up top
Now Arslan Ash just won his 5th Evo title 🐐
dude you got a sad life.
@@shoutucker3726i guess u too 😂
@@mrpredator1676 welcome to the club.
@@shoutucker3726he's arslans uncle ji

i was lucky to meet AK, Doujin and their manager at Baaz Takedown last year. amazing peeps and pour their hearts into everything
As an arslan ash fan ,I am happy for him that he worked hard and rest is history, congrats to him❤
Guys just for the record, LowHigh from korea won evo 2018 with shaheen! nice video btw AK is a Legend!
Power to you AK! So proud to see a fellow filipino winning and being the best at what he does! Galingan mo kapatid! Pakita mo kaya rin naten filipino mag content and win sa tournament!
Thanks for giving credit to Ahsan Ali’s genius as well.
AK learned well from Pakistan.
our boy AK getting recognized!!! LEZ GO AK!!!
These are the stories I always love hearing about.
Congratulations AK!! 🎉🥳 Fully deserved WIN! proud of you bro 😁👏
The pop off was hype asf
its a shame its so expensive to compete because ak is clearly one of the best of the best. this might be his first place finish but being able to so many top 3 finishes for so long is one hell of an achievement

That thumbnail goes extra hard
New video incoming "Arslan journey continues to being the GOAT"
Thank you crowd for rallying behind! damnnnnn that was so fucking good! Ash will come back stronger next year for sure!
Yes! AK on TheScore!!!!
this made me cry. congrats AK
Next year again AK, we support you here in the Philippines.
ngl, I was waiting for this ever since the Grand Finals...
We are so proud of you AK!!!!!! Mabuhay ka kabayan!!!!!
AK MADE IT TO THE SCORE!!!
Been waiting this story. Thanks theScore esports!
Holy shit i didn't know how epic the win was, props to AK never giving up. What a lad
I was really waiting for this Video
as soon as AK won combobreaker this HAS to be featured.
Damn, beating arslan is huge, and AK out grew his rage pop offs after loosing games..
He really got far as a pro, proudly filipino...
Lakad Matatag!!! God Bless
FINALLY! AK finally got the recognition he deserves!
Finally AK on thescore Esports
This channel needs more subs. Idk how many it has but it ain't enough. Great essay!
Bro and now arsalan won the 5th evo !
Been waiting for this
AK was like the Marquez for Arslan's Pacquiao 😂
I would gladly see a blooming gentlemen warrior rivalry with them. Can you feel the excitement each time they brawl for the top?
but Marquez cheated and took STEROID to KO Manny. Marqeuz won by cheating. AK work his assoff to win the trouney
The Lesson is never give up ,your goals in to your life,, mentally emotionally and physically then so much patient ,, and learn your fighter character and give your emotion and love .. support from Philippines ❤
Lets go AK. Rooting for you.
As a filipino player Im very proud to AK he got the champ right there, we always say for filipino: MABUHAY!
Yeah We Have Tekken Players Here... You can see them Regularly in Time Zone! That Arcade Game is the Highlight of the Whole place . Like a Small Tournament everyday.
BROOOO I'VE WAITED FOR THIS SINCE THAT ARSLAN EVO JAPAN EP 😭😭😭
*LAKAD MATATAGGG!!*
The Tekken Community here in PH, at least in my area is dwindling. I hope to see a resurgence soon! Lets go A K!
They literally uploaded this while Evo is going on right now
The look Rangchu gave AK was funny bc there’s been talks lately about SKers hating loudly on Filipinos 😂
Rangchu ain't like other south Koreans, he travels around the world. The least racist people ever are whose traveled the world for a living
@@ashash8026I hope so. South Koreans just have so much contempt for Filipinos and other South East Asians.
Filipinos are known as the hypest crowd in any esport event, regardless if they're cheering for the home team/player or not. It's nice to see the reverse of that this time -- where the one being cheered on the loudest is a Filipino player. GG gratz, AK. Byutipul! 👌👌
Amazing journey. Keep going, AK!
Finally what ive been waiting for!
Gotta love that underdog stories!
watched him in a tourney in manila, this guy is a beast man especially in LBs
Filipinos are hard working and smart people.
Real life anime stories from the FGC is why i sub this channel
It's even more amazing since in the Philippines there is no one even close to AK in skill and no one he could actually have a worthwhile practicing partner. Well played to him.
there's some actually.. e.g. doujin
Been waiting for this video❤❤❤
Hardwork and persistence really results in succeeding
"For a while, the only other consistent high profile Shaheen main in top tier tekken was Gen."
Lowhigh just chilling on the side I. Though he was also sidelined for a bit from his own personal controversy 😅
Would've been such a shame had he not won. Now we have another major competitor backed financially for future tournaments.
Its so sad that Ahsan Ali who is a better Shaheen user than AK from whom AK even learnt the certain move sets and styles can't compete in international tournaments due to VISA issues.
The crowd: DRINK SOME WATER!!! 😂
In the end, the only thing that matters is who’s left standing
Congrats to AK, its just sad that he don't received any sponsor here in the ph.
LEZZZ GOOOO!! Philippines nambawaaaan!
i rarely watched tekken tournament bcoz Philippines hardly plays on the finals, but man feels good that our fellow country man won a championship
Ak is history arslan evo 2024
As Proud filipino, AK is the definition of hardwork and effort. But I do want to give credit to Arslan Ash, dude's just built different in tekken.
AK snatched the victory from the teeth of both farzeen and Arslan...
It was very well deserved victory under pressure .... congrats from Pak
I'll be honest, I done bets with a friend on who'd win the tournament and I had thought AK would definitely win but decided to pick another guy. boy did that surprise me on how I was right but also wrong for not choosing him.
AH YESS FINALLY MY BOY AK ❤️
Now just wait for arsalan turn 😊
Great video, congrats AK!
The unbeatable title "First Tekken 8 Tournament Win"
Storytelling 🙌🏽 great content
That was the most *HYDRATED* finals in Tekken history XD
🤣
Definitely went straight to the urinal after celebration 😂
Proudly Pinoy!!! 💪
Out of all the moves he could do to end the event he did the one move he is known for SLIDEEEEE
