Pokemon TCG faces a new controversy that this time targets one of the champions of the 2023. The reason is basically because he was accused of cheating in a tournament and thus compromising its legality.
In fact a post by Vance Kelley, the 2023 champion, has been circulating on networks where he would have been clearly seen cheating. In fact, in the live fight between Kelley and Hugar you can see how the commentators themselves say “Vance accidentally placed a Power Tablet in his deck.”
In this part of Vance’s game it looks like he puts a power tablet back in with his Mew and begins to look nervous afterward.
Want to give Vance the benefit of the doubt but this is just unbelievable

In fact we can see how Vance would place a Power Tablet next to his Mew again. and he gets nervous, just like he knows he’s cheating. In fact, it is very curious that despite having cameras constantly pointing at the table, he has chosen to carry out an action so notoriously against the rules of Pokemon TCG.
Many are giving him at the moment the benefit of the doubt, while others charge more forcefully against these actions. It may be a mistake to play quickly and make plays as soon as possible, but it was certainly a mistake, but it was a tragic one for his image and for the tournament he was playing in.
