Tekken 8
News
It was an Esports World Cup 2024 qualifier and another chance for a Tekken legend to return to the top.
The Tekken community is having a remarkable period right now. Big tournaments happen one after another and even simultaneously. Tekken World Tour 2024 has the Master and Challenger events. Esports World Cup 2024 organizes qualifiers for fighting games — the Tekken 8 tournament at DreamHack Dallas 2024 was one of them.
In addition to the high stakes that attracted some of the strongest competitors in the world, the event unleashed the glorious return of Arslan Ash, the Pakistani Tekken king. We witnessed his big international play in Tekken 8 for the first time. Arslan did not win the T8 tournament at Combo Breaker 2024. Could he return to the top 1 at DreamHack Fighters?

DreamHack Dallas 2024 Tekken 8 results
This tournament showed once again how wonderfully unpredictable esports is. Arslan Ash fell to the losers brackets in the top 24 part, after the match vs Rangchu. AK lost on the same stage to CBM. Knee was eliminated after his match against AK.
In a way, matches before the finals brackets were more important. It did not go without a bitter moment. During the match between JDCR and AK, a technical error occurred, which caused a prolonged pause. After that, JDCR was sent to the losers and eventually couldn’t qualify. Some people in the community think that JDCR was robbed, so Alex Jebailey, the tournament organizer, had to apologize.
Still, the top 8 players got their invites to the Esports World Cup 2024, and it was the main goal for many participants.
Top 8
Arslan Ash and AK didn’t have a rematch this time. They played in the parallel losers brackets and were both eliminated in the quarter-finals.
Nobi sent Rangchu to the losers in the semi-final, and then he won the winners' final vs CBM. The grand final did not go too well for Nobi. After defeating CMB, Rangchu took Panda to the fight and reset the brackets. This boost wasn’t sufficient for winning the tournament, though. In the grand final reset, Nobi saved himself when Rangchu had a tournament point — and then, celebrated the ultimate victory.
Nobi is the Tekken 8 champion at DreamHack Dallas 2024. Congratulations!
