Xiaohai And Punk Beef Only Deepens

The Xiaohai/Punk beef has been one of the most entertaining in the FGC for quite a while now with new episodes popping up every so often. 

The latest situation saw the Chinese player grind the game till he overtook Punk in the MR rankings and then temporarily named his account 'Always The 2nd' 

Punk has been kicking butt and taking names while in Asia first winning the WCG team tournament over Team Japan and Team Korea and then he created a tier list of his top characters, and even acquired over 2300 MR points to sit on top of the world while playing mostly Asian players. But Xiaohai decided to be petty and take Punk's number 1 spot. 

The Punk vs Xiaohai rivalry has been on for a while, but it really came to a head during the last edition of Street Fighter League where Xiaohai, representing the eventual winners, Bandits Gaming, asked Punk if he was nervous before a game between the two. Punk did not take kindly to that and berated the Chinese star. Punk won that set and popped off in glorious fashion. However, Xiaohai would have the last laugh not only winning SFL USA, but also taking the World Championship. 

Recently, the two met again at DreamHack Summer and Xiaohai was the winner. Punk in an interview later said he had to accept that he lost that match and would have to play him another time. 

This is certainly not the end of this story and we look forward to seeing more.
