"Maybe when it's all said and done, it's LeBron number one in scoring and KD second." @MarcJSpears believes Kevin Durant can climb the NBA all-time scoring list to second 👀

Ronnie O’Sullivan: “Novak Djokovic is up there with Michael Jordan as the greatest athlete that has ever lived. Every athlete looks up to Djokovic.”

Hello everyone. This will be a long post about my experience at the One Piece World Championship: it will be divided into three parts—my tournament (even though there’s not much to say), my experience at the event, and my trip to Japan. I was asked to give feedback to Bandai about what I experienced, and I prefer to do it publicly rather than sending a form that will probably never be read. I’d also like to take this opportunity to congratulate the three winners—truly excellent players who have shown they deserved this result. 1) About the tournament itself, there’s not much to say.** I brought Ace, I was very well prepared, but I was extremely unlucky. I’m still very calm about it because, no matter how prepared you are, it’s still a card game where luck is necessary. I lost to two Mihawk decks. In the first game, I didn’t draw Red Roc or Round Table in 25 cards, and that card is essential for the matchup. I tried everything to recover, but it was impossible. Then I faced Red/Black Sabo, a terrible matchup, but my opponent practically bricked everything and I won. In the third game, where I faced the second Mihawk, I missed the first Garp, and the second only found a 6-cost Jozu. I completely missed my early curve and obviously couldn’t recover the game. It just wasn’t my day. I’m disappointed, but I played to the best of my ability, so I have no regrets—it will go better next time 😂. 2) My experience at the event, however, was terrible.** We were playing the World Championship of one of the top games at the moment, and it felt like playing a random local tournament in a bad store. Starting with the pre-tournament phase: unclear information throughout, with constant changes to the schedule. I find it absurd that we only learned the format three weeks before the event—especially a format that only Asian players had experience with, not Western players. Moreover, we took part in something called a “World Championship,” but it barely felt like one. There were 12 Japanese players, 10 other Asian players, and only 12 from the rest of the world. So it can easily be summarized as an Asian tournament with a few participants from the rest of the world. Then there was the option to bring a guest, which turned out to be completely useless. They couldn’t stay with us in the hotel unless they booked a separate room, or we as players had to give up our room to stay with them. They also couldn’t attend the event as spectators because it was closed and not open to the public. When we arrived at the event, we met at 8 AM in the hotel lobby, were taken to Bandai headquarters, and had to wait 30 minutes before entering. Then, due to slow management, the event only started at 10:30 AM. There was no food available inside, so we had to bring our own. Even worse, water wasn’t provided—we had to buy it from vending machines at the headquarters. Event management was terrible. None of the staff in charge had any idea how the game worked. The judges didn’t speak English, so communication worked like this: I talk to the interpreter, the interpreter talks to the judge, the judge responds to the interpreter, and then it comes back to me. We were told not to bring anything other than our deck. We were given official Bandai sleeves that became unplayable after five minutes due to sweat, causing the cards to stick together. As a playmat, we were given a paper one from starter decks (luckily I brought my own). The tournament was handled like a random local: as soon as you dropped, you had to leave the venue. I couldn’t even watch a friend in Top 8 because I was literally kicked out of the event. There was no stream for the event something outrageous in 2026. None of my friends or my community could follow the most important event of the year.

@LegionHoops @HeatCulture13 Yeah he had to say that for sure lmao

Shaq: "I'm happy for Bam....A lot of people say 'he chased the record.' HE SHOULD. To all the little kids out there if you got a chance to make history, you go for it" (h/t @HeatCulture13)

Just saw this posted in discord and it kills me 💀 Bandai really don’t care about the consumers huh

@rjtriedtotweet We use our feet for shuffling

We'll have global release possibly Q2 this year. Please adopt me in your western competitive playgroup. I already have a local playgroup but I want to learn how western players play.

@LuigiAmatoTCG 100% agree. Maybe we should start a petition or a # hashtag or something. #StreamWorldsBandai or something lmao @ONEPIECEtcg_EN

A small discussion I wanted to start. It’s been three years without a proper One Piece TCG World Championship, even though it’s Bandai’s flagship product and it’s putting up numbers they’ve never seen with any other game. This year we were promised a livestream dedicated entirely to Worlds. Did anyone actually see it? There were lastminute changes, and eventually the official communication was that we’ll only get to see the final tomorrow morning. I was already worried about the direction the gameplay of One Piece has been taking lately, but honestly there’s an even bigger issue here: the way the game is being managed. It almost feels like they don’t really care about the game. The qualification system for Worlds isn’t very merit-based, and the World Championship itself ends up feeling like a local tournament at my local store. A World Championship where Bo3 isn’t played from the Swiss rounds is, in my opinion, absurd. We all know how random a Bo1 can be, especially at that level. It’s a World Championship that doesn’t seem to be given any importance or value. Players are even prevented from posting during the event and showing the experience they’re having. We’re talking about Worlds it should be something positive to showcase, the most important event of the year, something to present to the world to highlight your TCG compared to the others. Instead, it feels like their philosophy is: “The game exploded, so everything’s fine as it is. Nothing needs to be improved.” The most worrying part is that after three years nothing has really been done to improve the situation. At this point, I honestly don’t think it ever will. See you tomorrow morning on stream to watch the finals.

@TRobinsonNewEra I don't like her, but it's idiots like you that are hurting the conservative movement, by spreading misinformation and lies and talking false BS. At no point did she say this, not even between the lines you moron.

The mask is off. Angela Merkel, who flooded Germany with third world men, admits it was votes. Says it was to stop the AfD party!

@amster518 @WillBlackmon Calling him Coby Bryant is pissing a whole lotta more people off

@WillBlackmon The amount of people not understanding it’s about Coby Bryant is actually pissing me off

This is so gangsta now that we know what it means 😂😂😂

The nuggets are playing so reckless and lax it's sad. Just launching shots without any real ball movement, something they always did religiously the past 5 or 6 years, sharing the ball. And completely careless on defense, giving up open shots left an right.

@BroKnows368 @_SDot22 @theblockspot Ok Idc Dumb Idiot

@_SDot22 @theblockspot No No No Possibly

LeBron… Best basketball player ever. Ohtani… Best baseball player ever. Djokovic… Best tennis player ever. Messi… Best soccer player ever. Absolutely wild that we get to watch all these elite athletes at the same time.

@ThirstRoundPick @LegionHoops Ok buddy

@ddfromscratch @LegionHoops 40 is a low estimate

Rich Paul and Max Kellerman disagree on how MJ would do in the modern era 👀 Max: “MJ would average a 40 point triple double today.” Rich: “These kids today they not bowing down to nobody. They not just gonna sit around and let you shoot every shot.” (via Game Over, h/t @NBA__Courtside)

Legend in the building 🙌

Greatness! @DjokerNole x @KingJames x @lukadoncic

@daylegarlett36 @SleeperNuggets Or he will keep smearin his honey on your mommas and sisters fluffy, juicy pussy

@SleeperNuggets Or what? He’ll fire up another brick and keep playing 0 defense 😂

DO NOT MESS WITH BIG HONEY

@popsbabyiv @JustLookingMon @ClipInsanity If lebron is not part of their family, your analogy is completely failing, therefore your whole argument has no logical substance.

@ddfromscratch @JustLookingMon @ClipInsanity Never heard of an example? I really have to break this down? It’s a metaphor detailing how correction from someone who doesn’t look like yourself isn’t always well received from someone who doesn’t look like you.

LeBron James walked over to a group of YNs at the game and told them to take their hoodies off to look more presentable 😭
