I'm curious to see how the four decks differ, if at all.
[/quote]Dude from Germany who got third was the only one to use Fiendish Chain and Zektcaliber.

Person he dueled used Lair Wire and Swift Scarecrow.

I feel like Konami are following Wizards' latest pursuits with livestreaming and videos and things.

Not saying that's a bad thing. It's a very awesome thing.

Wizard's been making streams of GPs for a few years now I think. I think the Pro Tour coverage goes back even longer. Just recently they've REALLY been pushing it. Nice to see Konami catching up in this regard at least.

How are they doing the stream? Do they have commentators? Were they able to show multiple matches in a round? Since this is their first go I can only imagine it was bumpy.

ITALIA! They can't win anything else, so let's see them do something in a childrens card game.

So Tewart is the one good announcer? Okay. Maybe they should just demote him to doing that all the time, because he's actually good at that... unlike some other things.

lol, Tewart was talking about TKRO and how surprised he was that it wasn't at worlds and that it was a great card against ANYTHING, including Inzektors.

Lol, Saito cheating. He used Centipede's effect after it was Veilere'd. :I
[/quote]

No he didn't.

From what I saw, he passed turn, and the rest took place during the draw phase/standby phase.

...Japan won.
Meh.

[/quote]No, he cheated. He added a Hornet when he couldn't.

then why didn't he get called on it?
[/quote]Because the judges didn't see it. Italy tried to tell them, but apparently the language barrier made it hard for him to get his point across.

If you kept watching after it was over...
Italy brought it up, and all the judges were like "...omg" and Japan started getting defensive.
[/quote]Yeah, this will definitely get attention.

For those who didn't see it. Japan used Centipede's effect to equip hornet, but Italy used Veiler, negating Centipede's effect until the End Phase and forcing Hornet to detach. Japan then followed up by equipping Giga-Mantis from hand and then MST'd it. Then he proceeded to activate the centipede's effect, even though it had been veiler'd earlier in the turn. He then added a Hornet that won him the duel in a spamfest the following turn.

In other words, he added a card to his hand when he should not have been allowed to. The US commentators, primarily Kevin Tewart, recognized this immediately because, well, you know how konami has him by the nut sack, and he said a few things before passing it off as "we must have missed something", but he didn't.

There wasn't a turn pass, as everyone noticed, commentators, viewers, even Italy. It was only the judges and Japan that apparently didn't see it.

So sucks to be at worlds, the whole thing ends in shambles.

So what do you think is going to happen? Given that the Hornet is the whole reason Japan was even able to win, I imagine something is going to happen.

Though if you want an explanation, I think I may have found it.

And this may have been what happened.

MST would have been activated at the end phase, AFTER Effect Veiler's effect resolves. In this way, Giga-Mantis summons Hornet, he adds a card and can't play anything else. That was why his finishing field was only Centipede and Hornet and he didn't go into an Xyz or anything.

Actually, I think that may explain it all. Huh, so he didn't cheat. MY BAD FOLKS.

[/quote]Figured it out. All the rulings are okay, everything is fine.

Then again, as with Lightsworns, the player that used Veiler can decide at what point the Veiler will wear off during the End Phase. So what should have happened was Japan should have asked if Italy let Veiler wear off, then MST.

they need a bar to show what phase it is for everyone watching the game, like in, idk, the VIDEO GAME? it helps when your watching a game so much, can't believe these people, that run this game, wouldn't notice this.
plus, that langauge barrier kinda needs to taken into account before you make a play like this, and explain what the f*** your doing.

also btw, I didn't bother watching when I heard it was all insectors

[/quote]Veiler has to resolve at the End Phase, MST is optional. Veiler has to resolve first, then MST can be activated.

So it goes like:
1. Turn player resolves or passes any mandatory effects/resolutions
2. Opponent resolves or passes any mandatory effects/resolutions
3. Turn player resolves any unresolved effects/resolutions
4. Opponent resolves any unresolved effects/resolutions
5. Any traps/quickplays or optional effects can be activated.

So basically, Veiler resolved at part 4, and Saito activated MST at 5.

[/quote]They also could have just not aired it.
