Muhammad “Farzeen” Farzeen won Tekken 8’s Clash of the Olympians without losing a set, making it a perfect tournament run for the fighting game player from Pakistan. In the grand final, he fought against Qasim Meer in the tournament’s final and beat him 3-0.
Farzeen’s dominance was only offset by his matches against Qasim Meer and Kim “Kkokkoma” Mu-jong in the top eight of the tournament, where he lost one game to each of them. Despite that, he was able to close it out to get to the grand final.
He showed Qasim Meer no mercy. Qasim was looking for answers to Farzeen’s Lydia by switching characters from Azucena to Anna and finally to Zafina. However, all of them had little to no effect on Farzeen, who beat Qasim 3-0 to take the title.
Clash of the Olympians is part of the Tekken World Tour 2025 circuit as one of its Master tier events, the second-highest tier.
By winning this tournament, Farzeen took home $3,023 and 560 points for the leaderboards. Farzeen has already qualified for the Tekken World Tour Finals Day, which means he doesn’t need to fight during the group stage.
