Khawaja Muhammad Zubair, playing under the All Gamers banner, just secured the Esports World Cup (EWC) 2026 Tekken 8 championship. Numan Ch forced a Grand Final reset, but Zubair quickly escalated his gameplay to secure his main event spot. The organizers subsequently placed Zubair into Group DD for the initial phase, Group Stage 1, of the tournament. It featured heavyweights like defending two-time EWC champion Ulsan, Tekken legend Knee, and fellow Pakistani talent Farzeen. For the Finals Bracket, Zubair picked Raef as his first opponent and dispatched him in the Quarterfinals.
