Evo Japan 2019 has come and gone, and aside from a whole thing that happened during a Dead or Alive 6 exhibition, the young tournament is still busy building its brand. What should help move that along is the story of the Tekken 7 tournament, which ended in a surprising upset that saw an emerging player put their name on the map in dramatic fashion. Arlsan, a fighting game pro from Pakistan who went to great lengths to make it to Evo Japan, managed to take home all the glory after battling his way out of the losers bracket.
