Over the past year, the fighting game community in Pakistan has grown from a relatively unknown place to a pivotal place, thanks to its few players winning Tekken 7 Competition on the world stage. In fact, South Korea has received so much attention that Korean veteran Jae-Min "Knee" Bae went there to train last week Tekken World Tour finals this weekend. For these players, it should have been a simple opportunity to learn from each other, but when the country's two best players completely avoided dealing with Korean tourists, the debate became a minor issue.
No doubt for Knee's upcoming Pakistan visit to Pakistan Tekken The World Tour Finals is both a way to learn from a country that doesn't have much representation around the world, and a respect for the explosive appearance of the local fighting game community. Pakistani players ate it. All knees airport and a Local Game Center Gifts and applause because his legacy is one of the greatest Tekken Competitors all the time. Next is Three days In the fierce competition, Knee defeated almost everyone who challenged him, including Arslan "Arslan Ash" Siddique, a Pakistani competitor who defeated Knee in both Evo and Evo Japan and in both games Both won first place, which surprised him.
However, two competitors are apparently missing from these programs: Awais "Awais Honey" Parvez and Atif "Atif Butt" Ijaz. In the past few months, both of them have achieved outstanding performance in international events such as Tokyo Tekken Masters 2019, and won the top two championships in the crowded international arena. Between Knee's games, the fighting game community will speculate why they are not participating in the game. The answer comes from a series of tweets from its sponsor, Genuine Gaming, showing some doubts about the organization, including how the resulting content is branded and the possibility of revealing potential strategies Tekken
"Does the knee know that the fact that he came to Pakistan is essentially that he is calling our players to play him," Royce said. Kosaku By direct message. "If it's not the pressure to play, then I don't know what it is. Their idols come to Pakistan to play! They know their fans also want them to play with the rest of the world. But the most important thing is They want to test their knees. If they do n’t play, they look like coves. Watching the knees destroy their friends is even more unbearable. They want revenge. But they know that long-term goals are more important and now play him May appease the masses, but will not help them achieve their ultimate goal, that is Tekken 2019, 2020, 2021 and other world tour champions. "
Royce assured me that the decision to avoid Awais Honey and Atif Butt from competing with Knee was made by the players and Genuine Gaming, after discussing the pros and cons of the players themselves and the organization. I cannot contact Awais Honey or Atif Butt directly to confirm these details. They seemed to be very supportive of Knee's visit, sharing links to video streams and clips against Pakistani rivals against the Korean legend.
Another controversy over genuine games has to do with Knee's sponsor ROX Gaming in South Korea, who reportedly surprised them with this visit to Pakistan and claimed everything Stream or record on the go. Royce says it has worked hard to reach ROX Gaming through a third party to reach a compromise, But they never heard back. The venue for these games, Maniax Gaming Hub, became an official partner of Genuine Gaming in November, and although Royce considers it reasonable to use a space and streaming device to access Knee, the organization ultimately decided to let it aim to highlight Pakistan Other members of the fighting game community.
Speak Kosaku ROX game representatives said via email that they had never received any information about the situation from the genuine game and did not seem to know of any controversy at all.
A ROX Gaming representative explained: "We understand their situation, but there is no formal discussion and no news." "We know the situation and have no discussions with Knee. It is just a knee exercise tour. He just wants to play. No Wrong, Knee would like to play with [Awais Honey and Atif Butt], but he doesn't care if he enjoys it because he likes [his visit] very much. His knee likes the warm welcome he received in Pakistan and hopes that one day go back."
Although the arrival of big money sponsorship has already Of course it's complicated Playing a simple game in the fighting game community, suppressing or dodging opponents before a large tournament is a practice that dates back to the arcade era. Among top athletes, "save a lot of money for the nation" is a popular phrase that they want to keep certain strategies secret for certain important games, especially those involving money. As a winner Tekken The World Tour finals will take home $ 30,000, not surprisingly, even with friendly visits to the country, Awais Honey and Atif Butt positions The players also don't want to reveal any of their tactics to the knee. However, this decision was not appropriate for some people in the community, and I was a little disappointed because the sponsors were involved in deciding when and where fighting game competitors could compete. I think this is a side effect of this new era, centered on e-sports, where competition for competition usually brings business-related issues to the forefront.
"Awais and Atif do play other roles," Royce said. "They could have been used to gather information, but we don't consider using secondary school role-playing knees to respect him. "If players want to play against the knees, they want to play with their own main line. They want to save the show and their tactics, Tekken World Tour Final. These guys are world class competitors and [and] the motivation for victory is in their blood. It's not wise to give opponents like Knee a window of opportunity to download any content. The knee is a legend, and for a reason, you need respect. We decided not to play because we respected our knees, not because we didn't do it. "
