Pokémon TCG: Sword and Shield—Brilliant Stars

Igor costa

I think the majority of people support Igor. I know anyone who watched the same game I did couldn't belittle Igor for his accomplishment. Were there misplays? Yes, but (there's always a but) nothing more than anyone else in that situation would've made.
 
I was a little hard in my comment and I delete that part so sorry for that, but In my point of wiew, since I play Pokémon TCG for teh last 7 year, the 1st thing I always do is checkinhg what is in my prizes when I´m gonna search something in my deck, and in the middle of the 3rd game I ask to my self: Where is the Shaymin? Well If I ask to my self, Igor ask to himself, and Leven know where it was before last turn, and he try without Shaymin. This is my opinion, it wasn´t a misplay. Igor is a strong player and is strong in mind games.
 
I don't mean to downplay Igor's playing ability, but I think better than misplay is crack under pressure mentality. It didn't look like Igor was talking up Harrison to call it a mind game. I remember at my first Regionals I played to Top 16 vs either Erik or Kevin Nance. The turn before I had made sure to know if I had a SP Radar or Bebe's Search in my deck. When time was called though my mind fizzled and I couldn't remember what I had just saw.

Props to Igor because from the game I saw he played amazingly well as did Harrison. I continue on my league feed on facebook to talk up both players for their great playing.
 
Let me just say that Igor was a pleasure to judge at this event, and especially at the finals table.

On a few occaisions, he showed me his hand which each time was AWFUL, and I had to keep a straight face.

At least once, Harrison let him off the hook with an"N"

Good clean games by 2 good competitors. I think they will both play that last game over in their heads QUITE a few times, as it easily could have gone either way.

Congrats to our World Champion.

Thank you for allowing me to be a part of it (not that you had a choice).

Watching the finals Igor played very well, and I have to say when he stared at Harrison it felt like a death stare. I'm happy for Igor and hope he continues to achieve future successes.

David Cohen was actually in his second year of the masters division upon winning last year, so he was 17 when he became world champion.

He told me he won in his first year as a Master and the tournament pairings at Autumn BRs always showed his age as 16, but who really knows? Lol.

Anyway, congrats to Igor. He totally deserved it.
