Riftbound Melbourne Showdown Unfortunately I did not win the best of poppy in the showdown even tho I was the best of poppy on the day and they took it away from me. Story time. Going into day 2 of the showdown in Melbourne I was 2nd in the hunt for the best of poppy I went and found most of the poppy’s that where in contention and wished them best of luck. When the day finished I checked the results and I was on top and went and celebrated with my friends. Last game of the day I played against the other poppy ( let’s say poppy 2)that was in contention and next to me was the another poppy ( let’s say poppy 3)as well that was in contention. I won 2-0 so I’m pretty much on top. The other ( poppy 3) player was versing a nasus which he was in contention for the best of Nasus. After we finished all 4 of us we where kinda chatting along and watching the game while the 2 where playing( nasus vs poppy)The Nasus player asked the poppy(3) “are you in contention” which she stated I don’t think so cause this guy won(me)and he is above me. I replied to Poppy(3) saying actually you were above me before this game started I’m second. After their game 2 ( 1-1) the nasus player asked in general hey has the other nasus won which I said “ I think he lost “. They finished their game and the result was a draw. After the game I said to all the poppy’s good efforts it was a tight race. And left the table The poppy(3)that drew to the Nasus started crying and complaining to the judges that the Nasus slow played on purpose so he can win the best off. ( meanwhile they draw so both didint get it).After that didint work she stated that I convinced the Nasus to try harder and play and win so poppy(3) doesn’t get the best off poppy. After a while they called the Nasus player up on where the judges where sitting and asked him if he knew me which he stated “ no “. After a while the same head judge came and grabbed me and stated that what I did was wrong and they will give me a game loss and the poppy(3)a game win. After more back and forth another stuff member came ( was wearing purple shirt saying staff ) and told me that after talking to the head judges and all the parties they will give me a game loss and the Nasus a game loss too. Ps: I was not gonna make a big tweet about it until I heard the same person that “ won “ the best off poppy - poppy(3)saying to her friends “ im happy that I won it and the other guy is malding” Ps2: The same poppy tried to convince a riven player in round 7 to concede which he refused. PS3: The same poppy player was friends with a lot of judges and head judges and they were celebrating when she won her round 8 matchup against a LILLIA. PS4: During my last mirror matchup I had consistently a judge sitting watching our game and also I had a judge come and check my sideboard and not check the opponent’s sideboard poppy(2).( if I’m not mistaken that judge was friends with the Poppy(3)as well ) Ps5: The Poppy(2) that I defeated towards the end asked the head judges “ I get that you gave him a game loss but why did you give the Nasus a game loss too ?” And the same head judge replied “it’s done now and you can email UVS if you have a complaint but i have been judge for 10 years and nothing happens” Anyways just wanted to share that information because we can’t have competitive players and judges being good friends makes everything so tricky and unfair. I never refused saying to the nasus player “ I think the other nasus lost”.

Locked in on Vex for the Melbourne showdown this weekend. First decent sized riftbound event. Can't wait to lock in and play. GLHF.

Riven is for sure a Heron slop deck now, just play a 8 energy 1 power ready Baron for fun. Love it.
