CEO 2025 Tekken 8 Top 8 Recap

CEO 2025 Tekken 8

ULSAN vs. Arslan Ash opened the evening, ULSAN’s Dragunov overpowered Arslan’s Nina, winning 3-2 and advancing to the Winners Finals. JeonDDing vs. ATIF, the second and one of many Pakistan vs Korean matchups, ended with ATIF’s Anna countering JeonDDing’s Eddy.

In the Winners Final, ATIF dominated ULSAN 3-0, sending the Korean down to a rematch versus Arslan Ash. The Battle Arena Melbourne 15 champion Arslan would come up short of a counter to ULSAN's Reina, swaping to Anna, Zafina, and Nina but coming up short every time.

The grand finals was a much tighter final battle, as ATIF took the lead early in the fight versus ULSAN's Reina, who then decided to pivot the momentum to their side with Dragunov, and it would have worked had it not been for ATIF resielence in avoiding the reverse sweep and bracket reset to become CEO 2025 Tekken 8's champion.
