Han player drew an extra card at the end of turn one. He drew one then began explaining the Falcon interaction to his opponent. After the explanation he then drew 2 more. He has five cards in hand when he resources at the end of turn one.

[@ItsMe_K3]

I'm the one who caught it live and clipped / shared among the player community, I've also notified the judges live and they said it was Han's ability (they couldn't watch and didn't see it at the time) but yeah, he put the resource down from hand to have enough for the Falcon. The other player "caught it" but he said it was resourced, while he had already resourced for the phase

[@Pasqwalle]

This Han player shuffled his entire deck after every U-Wing. Instead of putting the cards on the bottom. Plus the Fleet Lt play on Falcon and Han. And the “errors” on resourcing. Shame these guys don’t read the cards 🥲. Sheesh.

[@TowerNumberNine]

Definitely some serious play errors here, unfortunately -- especially in game three...

[@laynecumby1329]

It definitely feels like he purposely resourced twice so he could play the falcon that turn because he knew the walker was coming down!

[@TowerNumberNine]

I'm not sure it was purposeful, but I do think he gained a substantial advantage from that Falcon hitting the field there...

[@DarkBlack099]

@@TowerNumberNine I think purposeful as he does it right when his opponent is drinking water

[@Anyguy4321]

@@DarkBlack099 Yeah, tcg's are sadly full of cheaters even with a camera on them.

[@hochspringer7776]

Looks like on purpose

[@Thorrk_THT]

The Han player was messy all game, played things in the wrong order, super fast motion, does not use reminder token for han ressource and move cards around unesseraly, all of those are massive red flag and are commonly used method to distract and hide sleight of hand to cheat. Extra draw, extra ressource, ability missplayed to your advantage.... It's ok to make mistakes but when there are so many mistakes being made in such a short period of time all of them benefiting you I think it's safe to say that this guys is a cheater and should be flagged by the community.

[@LordHakkera]

Strong agree. Some mistakes are expected, but between the quantity of the mistakes, how much they benefit the player and just the constant hand-waving and moving cards around, it's really hard to maintain that this player is not doing this intentionally. Considering he's also piloting one of the decks most suitable for "oops, forgot", there needs to be some very strong past evidence to support that he's super careless rather than just the much easier conclusion of intentionally breaking the rules for advantage.

[@andrewclemans1393]

What about the resourced waylay turn two? He resourced waylay and then when the make an opening was played on the falcon he switched it with another card from hand.

[@TowerNumberNine]

It looks like he hadn't resourced at the time Make An Opening was played, resourced the Waylay at first, and then was like "wait no" and took it back... that's improper play but a common mistake to make. To avoid this sort of thing you should check to make sure your opponent is done resourcing before making your initial play for a turn.

[@andrewclemans1393]

Fair, I’d like to give him the benefit of the doubt on that one.

[@slabking4169]

MR fast hands playing the shell game

[@Astic0]

Game 1, turn 5 already 3 cheat omg ... And an other cheat at 30:31 to put one more ressources from the hand to play falcon in same turn with han ability . Please

[@kurtcrean]

I want to give the benefit of the doubt to the Han player but wow that's a lot of play errors for a very competent player. Simple things like the + on non rebel and trying to discard a unit are just hoping your opponent doesn't read the card. And there's even more egregious ones too. Glad I never have to play with that guy.
