If you didn't know any better, it sure looks like North Korea is home to the best online Street Fighter V player in the world.
A SFVplayer that goes by the name Best_Korea somehow manipulated the game to take the coveted first place ranking on the online leaderboard, where they have continued to sit for four days. Best_Korea, whose home country is listed as North Korea, is beating the rightful no. 1 player Wolfkrone by over 20,000 league points as of Tuesday.
