There are a lot of traumas being shared on here. It's incredibly brave to share these intensely personal stories. These are also very real, often active traumas. Please, if you are able, seek professional help. No one can navigate it alone. Therapy can give you tools to heal.

Heartbreaking to lose a game to the rule book, but Game 2 wasn't 100% over and if Tatsuya's Switch was determined to be the reason for the disconnect a Game Loss is, unfortunately, the appropriate decision. I hope Tatsuya is still proud of his tournament and the show he put on!
