Enjoying the process of getting better at things

@amcharles0 They have wings…

@fullofhearttt If he’s taking too long turn to turn it’s obviously slow playing. If he’s playing at a fine pace I don’t see how it’s functionally different than Templar playing out the deck out vs Cerys in top cut of Toronto because dengo is really good in top cut time rules.

I was not at Melbourne so I do not know what happened. What I will say is that I think this community posts about Japanese players more aggressively than any other group of people because of the shield a language barrier provides them and it is really heartbreaking to watch. 1/8

I played against Hiromu Sasaki in round 6 of Melbourne Regionals. In game 3 he played Unfair Stamp, drew 6, played Crushing Hammer, flipped tails, realised he drew 6 and pointed it out. He took the Crushing Hammer back and I called a judge.

[Emil Redlinger @redlinger_emil]

@fullofhearttt Oh I strongly disagree then. Unless he was slow playing which it didn’t sound like he was. Playing the max number of turns in g1 of a bad matchup where you have game locked up just feels smart. Full disclosure a member of my group hit the same guy later at euic so I may be biased

@solotus45725 Or pokemon could give us a playable client so we won’t need to rely on judges to translate in their second language

[Emil Redlinger @redlinger_emil]

@fullofhearttt I don’t think DPLing himself is malicious and taking back the crushing hammer is the objectively correct ruling. The he said she said I can’t comment on but from Natalie’s recount, it probably would’ve been better for her if there was no DPL and the hammer stayed tails.

@Tacos_Eorzea Yeah Im part Japanese and I can speak moderately well so I don’t think I’m a fair ambassador or representative for an understanding westerner

[Emil Redlinger @redlinger_emil]

@Schwaaaaa I grant you this for sure but I’ve been slow played into winning 1-0 against a Japanese player just as often (1 time) as I’ve been slow played into losing 1-0 against them

[Emil Redlinger @redlinger_emil]

I don't want this post to be perceived as an inditement of Natalie or anyone mentioned in this thread. I'm sure they're all good people and in truth, this is not that serious. I would just love it if more Japanese players had a positive social experience attending regionals. 8/8

[Emil Redlinger @redlinger_emil]

If we allow for western tournaments to become a salient environment for these players, it would be a huge loss for the community as we've watched the top Japanese players prove themselves to be some of the best and brightest players our game has to offer over the last year. 7/8

@Jctfordd “If I play cards that are good into a specific matchup, it’ll help me in that matchup but it will hurt me in matchups where I could have played better cards for that matchup” You’ve done it again Mr Ford

@Ovaking802 Nice playing against you man! Super fun set!
