One of the better done tournament I've seen. Similar to RedBull Kumite for SF6 what is a good thing. The whole thing was excellent.
Yeah idk why this tournament was more interesting to watch than Evo Japan. I didn’t like Evo Japan but the Pakistan tournament actually made the game look fun.
Evo Japan is too clean, it's just people playing video game. They need to promote Evo Japan like a wrestling tournament with round girls and all.
Yes the level was very, very high. Arguably higher than Evo Japan ( there was a EU tournament in Brussels the same weekend and a Japanese one too, the level was "pathetic" next to the Pakistani Gauntlet tbh, you had to wait for the finals to watch similar quality).
What's interesting to note is that Pakistani players like Ashes Usama, Bryan Hammad or Bilal ( these players could have won this gauntlet, especially Usama ) were not even there.
I was very happy for Joka, he really did a miracle and played amazingly well on Sunday. He confirmed his outstanding consistency. He is definitely up there with the Pakistani and Korean elite.
Having said that, he lost twice on Saturday, the Swiss format of the tournament allowed him to participate in the top 8 with scores reset, but in a normal tournament format, he'd have been eliminated on Saturday.
But I think he truly deserves to be the champion, he had to fight all the top guys, played so many amazing games, his stability/consistency is just unreal in the last months and I like the guy.
For Kwiss, didn't he lose all of his games? ah no, he won just once vs Devilster ( who I think lost all his games like YuYu) in the elimination bracket, yeah.
That is my only regret for this tourney though, instead of Kwiss, Yuyu and Devilster, I wish we had Chikurin, Ashes Usama and Ulsan instead ( or any of the top Koreans, CBM/JDCR/Mulgold/Edge etc.) would've been even more elite than it was.
It was really a great event though, the best I have seen in a long time.
The only hiccups ( for me) were the electricity plug on Saturday, technical issues during the broadcast, uneven commentaries ( two of their commentary teams were very good, but there was one that was terrible), and I wish they showed the results board after every single game.
Streamers not fit to be called pros like k-wiss and yuyu were invited and to the surprise of absolutely nobody did nothing
The production was hilariously bad and pure cringe throughout. Hope you all muted the stream
Can we stop pretending Pakistan is good at Tekken now? It’s been a one man army for the last 5 years because of Arslan and his dominance is coming to an end because even he can’t dominate this casino game
Tourney won by a local, yeah a local, lol with probably the single most brain dead OP character in the game with Feng, ooh such a high skill ceiling this character has, lol
Honestly this is the end of Tekken as a whole as a competitive game. Just play SF6 instead and play for some real money because there is none in Tekken. Any momentum Tekken gained has now completely died because of this terrible sequel
Kiteless didn't like SF6 either. I think that FGs aren't for them anymore.
I don't think that there was a better time for competitive Tekken than now if we talk about the cash and amount of tourneys. We have almost one tournament every week now until the end of the year...
Also Pakistani players are actually extremely strong, at least as good as the Koreans..they have like almost 10 guys who could win any Evo... Arslan was the T7 goat but the competition is tougher than ever now, especially since T8 is more random than T7 with all the 50-50s and new mechanics weakening defense and tactical play.
To be fair to K-Wiss, yes I would have liked more high profile players like Chikurin, Ulsan or even a super strong underdog like Ashes Usama instead but the quality of his play was not bad. If you look at his games closely, he was not easy to beat at all. He gave the winner a run for his money IMO.
I was rooting for Yuyu actually, I wanted the only girl to do well in this setting just out of empathy and because she looked like a super polite, and a very kind person on top, but the field was really very strong.
