But this also brings into question why none of Watanabe\u2019s opponents noticed the markings on his card sleeves. Were the markings placed after round 15, before Hayne agreed to an intentional draw?
<\/p>
There are many questions that still need to be answered. Cygames, however, feels confident in Watanabe\u2019s innocence and is calling for Wizards of the Coast to complete a thorough investigation.
<\/p>
\u201cThese are the facts of day two of the Mythic Championship London as we understand them and Cygames\u2019 resulting positions on the mater,” Cygames said. “We have requested Wizards of the Coast to conduct a thorough investigation and reach a conclusion that is concrete and evident to all parties.”

Magic: The Gathering<\/em> Mythic Championship III is set to take place on May 25 and 26 on MTG Arena<\/em>. Thankfully, players can\u2019t digitally mark their card sleeves and the tournament should be free of controversy\u2014at least, many fans hope it will be.

Team Cygames, Watanabe's sponsor, released a statement yesterday supporting his innocence, essentially saying that Watanabe was set up and framed. Watanabe's disqualification from MTG Mythic Championship II occurred due to markings on his card sleeves. Prior to announcing the top eight players on day two, Magic: The Gathering officials said that Watanabe was disqualified from the tournament after a deck check was performed during round 15 of Modern Constructed play. Cygames, however, claims there are discrepancies after interviewing Watanabe and investigating the disqualification. \u201cWe have conducted a hearing with Yuuya Watanabe about his disqualification during day two of the Mythic Championship London,\" Cygames said. \"After sorting through the situation, we strongly believe Yuuya is innocent of any wrongdoing.\u201d Cygames believes that a deck check should have been performed after Watanabe changed his sleeves following his first loss in round 12. The sponsor also said there was a random deck check done at the beginning of round 14, in which a judge said Watanabe\u2019s deck was legal and ready for competitive play. In addition, according to Watanabe and Cygames, the deck check \u201cduring round 15\u201d was performed after round 15. \u201cAfter the match, Yuuya was asked to show his sleeves by a judge,\" Cygames said. \"After around one minute of inspection, the judge returned Yuuya\u2019s deck, stating that it was okay.\u201d Related: Watanabe speaks on disqualification from MTG Mythic, photos released of marked card sleeves It wasn\u2019t until after an intentional draw was agreed upon by Watanabe and Alexander Hayne for round 16 that another judge approached Watanabe, saying that he\u2019d have to submit to another random deck check. According to Watanabe, it was at this point that his deck was determined to have marked sleeves and he was officially disqualified from the tournament. Cygames also listed several other reasons why Watanabe should be considered innocent. The sponsor brings up his impeccable and clean record throughout his professional career in Magic: The Gathering, which is true, since Watanabe has never been accused of cheating prior to the Mythic Championship II in London. Cygames claims that the cards sleeves were marked on the right side of the cards and Watanabe favors the left side of the deck facing him during play. This fact, however, is debatable. Playing Modern Constructed often results in players shuffling decks during a match. An opponent will then cut the deck to ensure no cheating is taking place. But this also brings into question why none of Watanabe\u2019s opponents noticed the markings on his card sleeves. Were the markings placed after round 15, before Hayne agreed to an intentional draw? There are many questions that still need to be answered. Cygames, however, feels confident in Watanabe\u2019s innocence and is calling for Wizards of the Coast to complete a thorough investigation. \u201cThese are the facts of day two of the Mythic Championship London as we understand them and Cygames\u2019 resulting positions on the mater,\" Cygames said. \"We have requested Wizards of the Coast to conduct a thorough investigation and reach a conclusion that is concrete and evident to all parties.\" Magic: The Gathering Mythic Championship III is set to take place on May 25 and 26 on MTG Arena. Thankfully, players can\u2019t digitally mark their card sleeves and the tournament should be free of controversy\u2014at least, many fans hope it will be.","apple_news_notices":[],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/06091242\/Yuyya-Watanabe-Magic-The-Gathering-Pro-player.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/128285"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1735"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=128285"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/128285\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/128286"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=128285"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=128285"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=128285"},{"taxonomy":"invoiceable_action","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/invoiceable_action?post=128285"},{"taxonomy":"internal-label","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/internal-label?post=128285"},{"taxonomy":"article_type","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/article_type?post=128285"},{"taxonomy":"author","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/coauthors?post=128285"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
