Spoiler season for the next Disney Lorcana set is starting later than usual.
Despite several strong finishes, Pham had not yet managed to secure an invite to this years World Championship.
It was a triumphant finish and well-deserved World Championship qualification, but it was heavily overshadowed.
The situation unfolded during game three of Fusade and Lentinis best-of-three match, with the scores tied at 1-1.
Lentini reached over to his notepad to record the lore gain.
Then, Lentini picked up his Magic Broom and moved it to his discard.
But just as he moved the Magic Broom to his discard, Fusade stopped him.
Thats everything we saw happen.
Everything else we know, or think we know, about the situation has to be inferred.
Given that the Broom remained in play after, it seems that the judge ruled in Fusades favor.
The problem is that what Lentini wanted to do is perfectly legal.
Cheating is totally unacceptable and cheaters should be completely and entirely ostracized from competitive Lorcana - full stop.
This is an antiquated rule thats due to be removed from the document, but it currently exists.
The bottom line is we dont know what Fusade knows or what his intentions were.
With stakes this high and the world watching on Twitch, theres no excuse for an error like this.
I dont know how the competitive scene can survive if it does.
