CHEATER CAUGHT At Pokemon TCG Bogota SPE Tournament

[@chaddrusso8850]

The fact that he 1. Cheated multiple times 2. Did it on stream 3. Was trying to distract his opponent while in the process of cheating Tells me this ain’t his first rodeo, give this clown a lifetime ban🤡

[@JimmyLZH]

This is like the 3rd time he cheats on stream, time for a life-time ban.

[@imwithyou38]

reminds me of a guy named adam corn who is banned from life from yugioh for cheating, he got a warning for a marked card....and then got caught 3 other times. dude was a fucking douche bag

[@YyNRCyY]

Lifetime bans are interesting. I think if he has been consistently doing this and beating players out of very important tourneys then I think a year + is valid as well as when he comes back he will always have that stain on his record. Lifetime is very harsh i haven’t been in the tcg scene for a long time but as bad scummy and frustrating as this is a lifetime seems slightly harsh

Eder and their team "brave birds" are known cheaters, the fact that he got caught on camera means, he did it with all intent an purpose on cheating

[@LGTeGeTeGe]

This is not necessarily true, i have known the majority of them for years and not all of them are cheaters. Please do not generalize, witch hunting players is not ok. Eder should get a ban, but not the rest of the team, specially if there is no way to prove any cheating by them.

[@cristiannunez1613]

The fact it was on camera has nothing to do with intent and on purpose. Whenever someone cheats it’s intended and on purpose, with video we just have proof he cheated.

It's not the organizer's fault, it was actually good they actually stopped and DQd him. That means the TO's and judges were actually eyes on.

[@johnmoore8500]

99% of people you play against won’t cheat, but it’s still just optimal to cut/shuffle your opponents deck (or cut your own) for more random draws, then when you do run across a cheater you’ll already have these habits ingrained in you and it’ll be harder for them to pull stuff off

[@brotoner3478]

Clear as day. I’ve never seen cheating in blatant.

[@eduardobrito4500]

And a friend of mine told me a story about a time he threw a promo card (geovanny 2016) to a judge, he was banned for a year, it seems that it needs a perma ban to get rid of him

[@LGTeGeTeGe]

He didnt get any ban, he just was intimidated by the judge and the pto, which both are also a pair of assholes lol, he technically hasnt been banned before. Not tryin to defend him tho, he definitely needs to be banned. Y ahi te va en español: nunca lo banearon, solo lo intimidó el juez al que le aventó la promo y el organizador, si llevas suficiente tiempo en el juego sabrás el nombre de ambos y tmb sabrás que los dos son tmb personas horribles jajajajaja así que no tiene ningun baneo en su historial.

[@lidontlo]

The thought of having to always cut your own deck/ opponents deck each time they search/shuffle to prevent scum like this sucks. It’s just slowing the pace of play and adding one more distraction. Ban these players quickly and for years to make sure it’s not somthing to be taken advantage of.

I will never understand cheaters that are so bold that they're even cheating in goddamn feature matches for everyone to see.

[@osu5661]

I feel like the "top card never changing" thing happens a lot even on streams. I don't think a lot of those people are trying to do anything wrong, though, they just don't realize what they're doing. I played someone locally who started during covid, and they thought Judge's "shuffle your hand into your deck" just meant put the cards into your deck somewhere random, because they had only played Marnie irl before 😅 After watching stuff like this, though, I'll definitely try to pay more attention to it all

[@Seventschiko]

oh no this is completely intentional. it takes a good amount of a) technique to not shuffle the top 3-5 cards b) you can see him clearly distract his opponent multiple times when he does cheat, he's also known as a cheater. I'm sorry to tell you but, if someone does this it's 100% always intentional. You're supposed to use 2-3 types of different shuffeling techniques each time you shuffle, because even just shuffeling repeteatly with one technique is flawed. Trust no one, always cut their decks. Always. You don't need to shuffle their decks, but CUT it. that way he can't cheat (on his own deck at the very least) and if someone shuffles your deck, ALWAYS reshuffle or cut it. always.

[@jakehr3]

I didn't know about the rule where you could cut the deck if your opponent shuffles. Good thing to know when I go to paper event. Coming from MTG, I don't believe that is allowed (not sure why as it seems a good way to get around this specific kind of cheat), so learning that is the way things work in Pokemon TCG is very nice.

[@dylanmayabb6594]

It's very much in MTG and always has been

[@jakehr3]

@@dylanmayabb6594 it is very much not allowed for you to cut your deck after your opponent hands it to you in MTG. Go to any competitive MTG and try and cut the deck after your opponent shuffles and you will get called on it, either with your opponent calling a judge, or they reshuffle your deck. It's specifically why back shuffling cheaters were such a problem (and still are) because you can't do anything to your own deck after your opponent shuffles it.

Having played on and off various TCGs for over 2 decades and playing in tournaments for a large part of that early on, I have genuinely never seen someone overhand or faro shuffle and only pull a single card naturally. If you spot it once during their shuffle there is a 99% chance you will see it happen again because that shit is not a natural occurrence.

[@becuzimgod]

Very obvious with this guy. Things like this I see alot n hard to prove unless they on stream. Multi players will practice shuffling n stacking techniques. Like when they searching deck they move cards around put certain cards on bottom n move cards on top. Like one from a couple years ago u see ultra ba used n the person moves supporters around then grabs a pokemon. Also there are very great magic tricks that some do where they can stack deck with shuffles to put nearly whole deck in order. I'm sure takes alot if skill to do. Saw it on the magic show before. That's why everyone I mean everyone should shuffle opp deck good for them after opp has.
