@TrulyEruption I’ll say this

I considered playing it out because I don’t know if you can tie 10 rounds in an event unless you are egregiously slow playing.

One of my friends was in their win and in to top 8 so I decided to go watch them instead.

[SmartTCG @SmartTCG]

@GengarGuy_ Well people willingly play shit on a fork to events so I really can’t tell you “why”

[SmartTCG @SmartTCG]

@Nastyp1ot @CatSupporter15 Yeah u don’t beat pult without it imo

[SmartTCG @SmartTCG]

I bombed Day 2, but my student Luke managed to finish Top 32 in Masters with the deck! @CatSupporter15 finished top 4 in seniors as well with the 60!

Made a few changes to my Top 16 Louisville list and was really happy with how the deck performed.

LAIC Next! 🇧🇷 🇧🇷 🇧🇷

Hopefully one of the community ambassador’s can get involved in this situation @Alloutblitzle @PokeEmmi_

Alessandro is one of the greatest pillars of the Pokémon TCG community.

One of the kindest and most genuine people I’ve had the pleasure of meeting through this game. He has given so much to this community over the years.

It’s incredibly unfair that this has happened to you.

[iCaterpie @iCaterpie]

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.

@DeLeeuwTCG @ciaran_tcg Also much more logistically easy event for the majority of the community to get to, and also headquarters of TPCI are 30 minutes away.

[SmartTCG @SmartTCG]

@DeLeeuwTCG @ciaran_tcg Seattle convention center is double the size as Vancouvers

@NickCRobinson @nathianbeck @ICheville I’ve hit Azul 6 times lol

@Marsden1029 @Bunjiit Did they know how to play the matchup???

[SmartTCG @SmartTCG]

@Bunjiit Almost no matchup is literally 100/0. If Dudunsparce ex makes the matchup 90/10, it’s effectively an auto win. Arguing that you can still lose 10% of the time doesn’t change my point
