Nash, one of the parties who advanced to the final of the Korean tournament and was disqualified, explains the circumstances on Twitter.




``I don't know if you are aware of the problems that are happening on the Asian circuit, but it's been a pretty tough year for Korean Pokemon players, just like the rest of Asia,'' Nash said. It explains in chronological order the events that happened in the Pokemon neighborhood in Korea.

A little background on the Korean VGC format. Before the new coronavirus, there were three types of real competitions leading up to the final, each with circuit points. This circuit point is exclusive to Korea and does not have an independent circuit like Japan. However, such a real tournament has not been held since 2019, and the current Korean VGC community only holds an online double-elimination tournament (Pokemon Trainer's Cup) once a year. is.

When the Pokémon World Championships return in 2022, players were curious about how Pokémon Korea planned to hand out the invitations. However, the Pokémon Trainer's Cup was held online as usual without any explanation. After the tournament, it was announced that the top four players from the Pokémon Trainer's Cup would be invited to Day 2 of the Pokémon World Championships. The Pokémon Trainer's Cup only targeted the Masters Division (born before 1997 in Japan), so the Junior Division (born after 1998 in Japan) and the Senior Division (born between 1995 and 1998 in Japan). Born) has been excluded in the first place.

And no details were announced until March of 2023. However, in March, the details of the competition were announced.

Basically, the top 50 Koreans from each Global Challenge were invited to the Pokémon Trainer's Cup. 150 players will be competing in a BO1 double-elimination tournament. Many players are dissatisfied with the fact that everything is decided in just 10 games, and some criticize the format as being 'vulnerable to sub-accounts and game manipulation.'

And in fact, the same multiple problems as in Japan occurred. Players continued to play rematch after rematch, but could not stop playing. Additionally, the organizer of the tournament, Pokémon Korea, has decided to void the tournament. Players who finished in the top 16 of the tournament asked for compensation, but in the end, Pokémon Korea only promised them an invitation to next year's Pokémon Trainer's Cup. The Pokemon Trainer's Cup is a competition where you can only earn 1600 points in the Global Challenge, which is far from a top-level competition and is basically the same as nothing. The notification was also received by South Korean Pokémon players as a devastating message, implying that next year's Pokémon World Championships will continue to use the same tournament format to advance to the world tournament. Two weeks later, the qualifying rounds for the Pokémon Trainer's Cup were held again.

Blue, Sang Yoon, Mija, and myself (Nash) made it to the top four in this second Pokémon Trainer's Cup. That means we've earned an invitation to Day 2 of the Pokémon World Championships. However, in order to participate in the Pokemon World Championships, it is necessary to appear (that is, show up) in the final of the Pokemon Trainer's Cup, which will also be streamed live. This final is to decide the 1st to 4th place in the Pokemon Trainer's Cup, and there are gorgeous prizes, but since participation in the Pokemon World Championships has already been confirmed, there is such a big risk. I don't.

Therefore, we decided to have a battle with the four finalists using 'Furu Yubi'. This includes the meaning of protesting various problems occurring in our community, that is, dissatisfaction with the fact that the real tournament is not held, problems with the format of the tournament, disregard for anything other than the Masters Division, and inadequate compensation when problems occur. increase. But the real problem behind all this is the absolute disrespect of the official towards us players.

The week the finals were scheduled to take place, Pokémon Korea suddenly emailed Blue and disqualified him without giving any reason. When Blue called to ask why he was disqualified, Pokémon Korea refused to answer. He quickly handed over Day 2 to another player, Betago. However, Betago also agreed with the three of us and planned to hold a finger-fighting battle.

In the final, we had to decide in advance which Pokemon to use in the in-game online tour system, so we did this on June 2nd. The final was scheduled for the 4th.

Five:
However, today (3rd), all four people who were scheduled to participate in the finals received an email, and I received a notification from the official website and Pokémon Korea Twitter account that all four people were disqualified.

The reason is as follows.

Because everyone chose a Pokemon that learned a certain move.

According to Pokémon Korea, the following are prohibited acts.

・Acts that harm other participants or give offensive images.
・Other acts that Nintendo, The Pokémon Company, and their subsidiaries deem inappropriate.

In other words, Pokémon Korea disqualified the four of us who were going to use fingertips because they didn't like the Pokémon we were planning to use.



All the players who advanced to the finals were supposed to use Pokemon's best luck move, which is to randomly use one of all the moves called ``Yubi-wo-ru'', but this final was canceled before it even started. rice field. As a result, four people, including Nash, have lost the right to participate in the Pokemon World Championships.

On June 3, 2023, Pokémon Korea issued a release on its official website, ``Regarding deprivation of participation rights and cancellation of the tournament due to the discovery of prohibited acts by four players in the master category of the Pokémon Trainer's Cup 2023''. has announced that it has been discontinued.

Pokémon Korea explained how it decided to cancel the tournament, saying, ``There were multiple registered Pokemon that only remembered one specific move, and we determined that it would be difficult to operate the tournament normally.'' This is because I confirmed the above contents (registering a Pokemon that only remembers fingering) in .

In addition, regarding the above-mentioned actions, 'Actions that harm other participants or give offensive images, which are prohibited in various official tournaments, and actions that Nintendo, The Pokémon Company, and their subsidiaries are prohibited from doing. It falls under the category of 'acts that we judge to be appropriate.'


In addition, Mr. Sang Yun, one of the players who was deprived of the right to participate in the Pokemon World Championships, said on his Twitter, ``I was planning to use it in the final of the Pokemon Trainer's Cup 2023. Members.I protested the Pokémon Trainer's Cup and Pokémon Korea, but I do not regret my choice.Proud to have chosen to fight for my rights instead of an invitation to the cozy Pokémon World Championships. I would like to show my immense gratitude to my high buddies,' he tweeted. Attached to the tweet are screenshots of six Pokemon that I only remember throwing my finger at.




In response to this uproar, Park Se-jun , who won the 2014 Pokemon World Championships VGC Division Masters category, said, 'The current state of VGC management in Korea and Asia is ridiculously confused, and the Pokemon Trainer's Cup is a VGC. Absolutely no respect for the players who continue to love .The protests represent all the reactions on the ground we have experienced over the years.We desperately want operational help, dialogue and change. I will,” he tweeted.




Mr. Wolfe Glick, who won the 2016 Pokemon World Championships VGC Division Masters category, made a video of the disturbance in Korea and published it on YouTube.
