Pokemon Go champion stripped of title for celebrating his win.

He even shakes his opponents hand and that opponent didn't seem to blink about the "outburst". Hopefully social media will serve its one useful function and generate enough outcry to get his reversed.
 
Maybe Nintendo had just patented the concept of celebrating.
So it was either this or suing him for 74 million dollars in damages.
 
Exactly what I would expect from pokemon, but to be honest they should be more worried about the patent thing because they are losing non stop.

lol, read that. Also saw that there was a similar issue with the physical game (disturbing the table with the headphones upon winning). I guess they were applying the Japanese rules of a Japanese game in an worldwide event where they just don't bow.

This is some baseless accusation. It's more like it slid from his head when getting up to cheer than anything else.

That sucks
but remember there is no objective reality and if I say I won then it's just as valid as if the Olympic committee says I won.

It's all written here friend:

"That is not dead which can eternal lie, And with strange aeons even death may die." -Lovecraft

What basic truths will fail in your strange aeons? I own my victories and defeats. Only my judgement matters because only I own them. In this case simply knowing that I really won would be enough. And the opinions of the masses would be so much fodder for my barren field of fucks.

Damn. And a guy who looks like that really could have used the win. 😢

If that's how these judges handle that level of celebration, they'd probably physically die if they saw what happens after a Call of Duty match.

How do you play Pokemon Go from a desk? I thought the point of the game was to shuffle around outside waving your phone at landmarks and stand outside Starbucks?
 
Same set of judges that had a competitor disqualified from his matches, because he laughed when they asked him what his pronouns are. You would think The Pokemon Company would have done away with these clowns, but here we are.

It's a kids game.

Sports are essentially glorified kids games yet grown men paint their faces like literal clowns, scream and jump around like seals, throw and break shit, get into fist fights, and start fucking riots over other dudes kicking and throwing balls at each other.

That aside, this is the mildest popoff to a win I've probably ever seen in my life.

Lol I was expecting a video of him smashing them on the desk. He barely even throws them.

Bro, he basically just set them down on the table with the force of a 5 year old. Meanwhile, there's videos of ESAM literally hitting someone with a chair during a popoff.

The game has a separate battle mode. It's very basic and requires zero skill.

It's actually laughable that it has a competitive scene.
