Allegedly this celebration was unsportsmanlike, resulting in a game loss and giving NTC The win. I'm at a loss for words, I feel so bad for firestar."https://kotaku.com/pokemon-go-orlando-tournament-firestar-unsportsmanlike-2000685161
>>59137283>competitive pokemonjesus
>>59137292Not just competitive pokemon,but competitive pokemon go at that.That said, his celebration was fairly mild, seen much more autistic shit.
>>59137283He barely did anything
>>59137283Competitive Pokemon is a fucking joke lol
>>59137283>is that man happy he won something >yikes he’s giving me the ICK>I have to DQ him and put him in his place
>>59137283Just throw at him the next time he comes up to bat
>>59137283Didn't whatshisface, meanwhile, get away with a literal nazi salute that got everyone else doing it too or something?
>>59137283>Competitive VGCMeant GO, oops.
>>59137321Do these mainstream outlets have folders full of Pikachu anime screenshots? They always seem to have one ready to go when breaking a Pokémon story.
>>59137283>pokemon GOy
>>59137355They google pikachu + emotion
Do you think NTC will have the balls to concede his trophy, or will he cling to it even knowing everyone knows he didn’t actually win shit.
>>59137283This is what constitutes unsportsmanlike behavior?
>>59137283how are we feeling about this one bros?
>>59137411Probably won't concede the victory as that might be taken as spitting in TPC's face and we all know how much these guys care about being kept in TPC's good graces.Might hand firestar a percentage of the prize pot behind the scenes if he agrees the ruling was bullshit though.
jesus, I heard the news but didn't watch the clip. This is fucking nothing, truly a game's gone momentthe official circuit is run by delicate faggots and they're becoming more and more fags over time
bros he didnt even call his opp a faggot or anything. what is this
>>59137317unironically what must have happened. A lot of judges are horrible power hungry people. With high chances of trooning out
>>59137317>>59137435the judges in the background arent the ones who made the decision, it come from higher ups at Play!
>>59137440That doesn't contradict the point, whether the decision was made by the judge in the photo, or some 40 year old Karen at the headquarters in Seattle, the point stands
>>59137430The japanese are a meek and submissive people that heavily scrutinize any sort of public displays of excitement or passion. Seeing someone get excited and celebrate made them uncomfortable because they are heavily repressed and can't do the same without dirty looks from bystanders.
>>59137483the western circuit is run in america, nips didn't have a hand on this
might as well shit on the table next time
