As the nationsl started alot of diffrent decks and attitudes roamed the field and as it progressed i noticed something in the field that i very much hated:
The sportsmenship of players were thrown away and the field was a fierce competition. Alot of players were at boiling points cheating,lying,getting bad attitudes and just plain out making the game a hostile enviorment.
Is a trip to worlds as big as to cheat your way there,fight over calls that can easily be reversed and liturlly walk in all tought stuff thinking you will win ebcayse you bar or a bar reversal deck. Here is an example:
I was playing this game and next to me some guy accuses his opponent of cheating. This problem could of been easily solved but instead they are at each others throats and it took sensei to come over and shut them up before the problems were solved. Later some kid was said to be chating by drawing too many cards a turn whne the judge wasent looking. At one point a guy who walked in all high and mighty was sitting down almost in tears because he felt he had the top deck and he fell through. At times i saw players almost ready to explode because of eaither bad calls or they felt they were gonna win and came up short.
This is a GAME! Just a GAME and nothing more. You expect to copy a bar,gary,water deck and expect to muscle to the top and if you dont dont get angry or stoop to cheating or blowing up at people.
Everyone who knows this game knows nomatter if it a trip to compete in orlando or a trip to london to compete in worlds this is a game and neds to be treated as a game. Noone deserves to treat this as a competition because if you do you will lose your chance to paly in the future.
One of the reason wizards stopped the 15+ was because of competition and the will to win is more powerful to us the the fun of the game. If we cant play for the fun of it and only play for winning then what is the point of having a 15+ division??
Even at times i lose control and play to win but when it comes down to it i play for the love of this game and to have fun in it. Many players this weekend should be ashamed at thier actions and thier non sportmenship in the pokemon TCG. I fell if this game dosent get washed ouit and played with more fun then it has no future. I dont agree that the cards/deck make the player,i agree the player makes the cards and only players who believe in a deck they build can win over a player who wants to copy a deck to win.
