A Yu-Gi-Oh! competitive champion, known as Hitsuji, was discovered to have cheated during a Hatti Grand Championship tournament, the largest Yu-Gi-Oh! tournament in Japan. The tournament’s blog posted the results of their investigation on Tuesday, stating that a player named Hitsuji was found to have:
As a result of these misdemeanors, Hitsuji has been barred indefinitely from participating in the Hatti Grand Championship and in any tournaments related to the Hatti Championships. I suppose it could have been worse. What do you think?
A video was posted on Twitter showing Hitsuji performing a false shuffle:
Hitsuji doesn’t appear to think he was cheating, stating in a tweet:
“Although it’s true that the video shows me not doing a deck cut, I didn’t deliberately change the top card on the deck.”
However, he later posted an apology, stating:
“Regardless of the results of the investigation into my illegal play, I apologize for causing inconvenience to the Hatti Championship organizers and to my opponent Ucchi.”
Hitsuji, whose real name is Ryosuke Tsujimura, previously won the Yu-Gi-Oh! World Championships in 2017.
