After facing visa issues to participate and playing the international tournament while being sick it would not be wrong to conclude that Ash fought against all odds to bring Pakistan on the map of esports. ESPN has now awarded him as the best player of 2019.
He defeated Jae-Min “Knee” bae in Japan in January of this year but still believed that he might not be the best player in Pakistan proving that there is a lot of talent in the country that deserves to be recognised. His continued success led Red Bull to name him one of their Red Bull Athletes.
