this discourse around hle not being the #2 team in the world is straight up idiotic, they're still clearly the #2 team this year
they literally got a draw which is among the 2% hardest possible draws they couldve got, and yes they still had around a 70% chance to qualify with it, variance happens and they just lost out (given e.g. tes also had a top 10% hardest draw yet they won out, doesn't change the fact their luck was rotten)
honestly it is quite annoying that the most important tournament has such a stupid format (swiss + no double elim), if u remember on msi blg literally fathered the whole upper bracket, beat hle and then hle beat them in the finals
team rankings cant change from single digit maps, the literal only significant change my model has when incorporating worlds form is kc briefly jumping over g2, none of the top 5 ordering changed (dk did get closer to blg but still not there yet)
Completely fucking insane what's going on with TPCi, turning a veteran of the game into a persona non grata just because of a single judge having a fit. Even thou they still show some banned cheaters in promotional material.
At some point someone need to be held accountable
Here the latest new from Gdansk regional:
An italian player (Vincenzo Cipolla) is playing on stream his top8.
Many italian players there are ready to watch the game in the venue and they are sitting together in order to show him their support.
Some judges approach them and threath them that every sign or reference to "iCaterpie" will automatically mean being removed from the venue.
They asked me to remain anonymous because they are really scared to get retaliance from Tpci.
All of this just because they are my friends.
Have we really reached this point?
How many limitations must players accept just to be able to play Pokémon?
Is this limited to every player close to me or we have to extend this to all the italian community ?
I feel really sorry for everyone.
Please don't do anything that might lead to consequences for you in the Pokémon world because of me.
I love you, but I'm not worth of your future.
Naaahh this company is dogshit.
Maybe we should get the name of the judges involved so they actually face some consequences
** A COMPLETELY NEW LEVEL OF CENSORSHIP IN GDANSK **
I'm watching the stream of the OFFICIAL channel of Pokemon tcg and after the match of @AlbertoContiTCG he was doing the standard interview post game.
The caster asked him "do you have anyone at home who wants to shout out?"
Then they silenced the answer of Alberto just in case HE MIGHT say something about me...
I'm speechless... I'm not even allowed to be a memory in my friends hearth now...
Studio Trigger’s novel ideas for Cyberpunk as a setting are usually incredibly stupid and make it worse not better. CDProjekt Red would never write something as stupid as the Cyberskeleton or Project Capricorn, and it is excessively obvious that these things were just barely over the threshold of what CDPR would tolerate.

I don't understand why in callout post like this if it really is this egregious, why are we not posting names and tagging riot.
Also this would not happen if every riftbound tournament change best of into top 1 to top 50 get to select in order metal foil cards.
Riftbound Melbourne Showdown
Unfortunately I did not win the best of poppy in the showdown even tho I was the best of poppy on the day and they took it away from me.
Story time.
Going into day 2 of the showdown in Melbourne I was 2nd in the hunt for the best of poppy I went and found most of the poppy’s that where in contention and wished them best of luck.
When the day finished I checked the results and I was on top and went and celebrated with my friends.
Last game of the day I played against the other poppy ( let’s say poppy 2)that was in contention and next to me was the another poppy ( let’s say poppy 3)as well that was in contention. I won 2-0 so I’m pretty much on top.
The other ( poppy 3) player was versing a nasus which he was in contention for the best of Nasus. After we finished all 4 of us we where kinda chatting along and watching the game while the 2 where playing( nasus vs poppy)The Nasus player asked the poppy(3) “are you in contention” which she stated I don’t think so cause this guy won(me)and he is above me.
I replied to Poppy(3) saying actually you were above me before this game started I’m second.
After their game 2 ( 1-1) the nasus player asked in general hey has the other nasus won which I said “ I think he lost “.
They finished their game and the result was a draw. After the game I said to all the poppy’s good efforts it was a tight race. And left the table
The poppy(3)that drew to the Nasus started crying and complaining to the judges that the Nasus slow played on purpose so he can win the best off. ( meanwhile they draw so both didint get it).After that didint work she stated that I convinced the Nasus to try harder and play and win so poppy(3) doesn’t get the best off poppy.
After a while they called the Nasus player up on where the judges where sitting and asked him if he knew me which he stated “ no “. After a while the same head judge came and grabbed me and stated that what I did was wrong and they will give me a game loss and the poppy(3)a game win.
After more back and forth another stuff member came ( was wearing purple shirt saying staff ) and told me that after talking to the head judges and all the parties they will give me a game loss and the Nasus a game loss too.
Ps: I was not gonna make a big tweet about it until I heard the same person that “ won “ the best off poppy - poppy(3)saying to her friends “ im happy that I won it and the other guy is malding”
Ps2: The same poppy tried to convince a riven player in round 7 to concede which he refused.
PS3: The same poppy player was friends with a lot of judges and head judges and they were celebrating when she won her round 8 matchup against a LILLIA.
PS4: During my last mirror matchup I had consistently a judge sitting watching our game and also I had a judge come and check my sideboard and not check the opponent’s sideboard poppy(2).( if I’m not mistaken that judge was friends with the Poppy(3)as well )
Ps5: The Poppy(2) that I defeated towards the end asked the head judges “ I get that you gave him a game loss but why did you give the Nasus a game loss too ?” And the same head judge replied “it’s done now and you can email UVS if you have a complaint but i have been judge for 10 years and nothing happens”
Anyways just wanted to share that information because we can’t have competitive players and judges being good friends makes everything so tricky and unfair. I never refused saying to the nasus player “ I think the other nasus lost”.
I'm a firm believer that if we removed all the one prizer decks from the meta we would have a very healthy meta with pult not being so dominant in meta share.
Luigi should be an example for all the people, politicians and ceos should be scared of even breathing. And the class traitors that defends the Epstein class should also face the consequences of their actions
Es increíble como los comentarios la comparan con la w de yasuo, cuando son habilidades y contextos completamente diferentes. La W de yasuo transforma tu habilidad en 0 mientras que la W de Mel la volvía un -Habilidad. Y después entra en juego la clase del campeon

Mel is getting a midscope update, W now destroys enemy projectiles, deals a small amount of damage back, grants a shield and movespeed to her allies.

Signaling corrupt judges/judging is not harassing.
When you're shit at a job you get scolded why do TCG judges get a pass on this idk
Tpci try to not be dogshit company challenge.
Criticizing a judge got him banned crazy stuff
Tpci finally got me.
I dedicated 25 years of my life to this game.
Teaching the game around the Italy, raising players and building community all for nothing.
But Apparently I'm everything that is bad in this game.
The worst part, I was ready to travel for Nice because they didn't even have the dignity to notify my perma ban.
I was a target for some people working for Tpci for the past 10 years.
It happened again during the last World championship and I complain about that with a tweet that I deleted 6 hours later.
For that I got a perma ban.
I'm devastated. Pokemon is literally my life. I can't stop crying.
Good luck to everyone in Nice, I will make a goodbye post in the future.
I opened twitter and I though the format was about to be saved with a N reprint, but no
The art of these cards is gorgeous thou
