We love you Kai. We are going to miss you dearly. Thank you for your years of dedication to the game and hard work achieving your results. You have essentislly written the definition of what and who a true pro magic player is. The game would not (and will not) be the same without you. Thank you for inspiring myself and many others to get into competitive magic.
@Drrgy Ah, I see. That is really sad and I think this is something that should be talked about, Kai isn't very old and my brother as well as alot of people are starting to struggle with cancer at relatively younger ages. I think this should WOTC should do some kind of charity or something for cancer research.

This hits hard, first thank you Kai for your contribution to professional magic. I have had the honor to watch competitive magic after returning to the game after my time in the Army. My personal journey is 12 rounds and 13 doses of chemo at 45. I am still not well of body, yet strong of heart and the world is so beautiful. We refuse collectively to discuss odds… not when it was 90% of my bone marrow and not now. I learned as a young SGT that people of all walks of life have so much power within them they are collectively priceless… and even though I was medically retired years ago I will never stop believing in how great you and those around you are! Love and laughter in your lives and cheers magic community, what a beautiful gathering we can accomplish over such a great game.
I started playing MTG in 93-94, just between Revised & 4th Edition. Same time as Kai. He was always a star, yet so humble and nice to the everyone in the community. Wishing you the best Kai and hoping for a good recovery.
9:57:42 for speech. Thanks to @rtoizzae Kai is so incredibly inspiring and Huey's speech was wonderful. Kai has left an indelible and positive imprint on Magic the Gathering and represents the highest level of perseverance in the face of challenge and I have no doubt he will continue to fight.
My heart and soul with kai and im sure He will defeat the disease, he is after all the german juggernaut. That disease has no idea who it is dealing with.
Cheat was adding the wicked role to the Nethergoyf after it was hit with Phlage. When Bart casts Not Dead After All, Goyf's thoughtness becomes 4 so it doesn't die. With no +1/+1 counter Javier could have safely blocked the Goyf, it also amounted to 4 extra damage during the match.
It's at 5:35:45 when Phlage is cast - The commentators talk about it, but they think the players missed it. When the judge staff reviewed it later, they found the play to be deliberate. So Van Etten was DQ'd (Note: He has cheated before, you can find other videos on TH-cam)
i've watched the part 7 times @8:10:15. At the start of game one Dominguez plays the scalding tarn, passes, cracks the tarn, puts a land into this hand (the one in front of Teferi, Time Raveler) and then plays the surveil land from his deck.
He starts to grab a land from in front of Teferi, but then releases it and checks his hand. You can see at 8:10:22 if you watch at 0.25 speed he starts to slip the land out and pinch with his fingers, but he fully releases it, puts the deck down, checks his hand, then finds the surveil land. :)
@@Diedudeman yup, yup, yup. I watched it 10 different times and did not catch the island cycling. It just looked very fishy the way he handled the deck and put 2 different lands on the battlefield and then picked one back up and into his hand. I deleted all my other comments to reflect my wrongness
Given that at least one person with that symbol is clearly queer, it could be a safety issue too. However it might also be that some countries (hong kong, and Taiwan) are not recognised as countries by china, and therefore a unified flag could be an issue. Those are the reasons I can come up with. I also wouldn’t want my national flag to represent me. I don’t associate with it, and it would do me a great disservice to have my name over a flag I deem oppressive or unjust.
7 hourse of nadu. Curious how many people, like myself, won't be watching top 8 because they're bored of it. Wotc should have banned before this disaster of a tournament
No way. The deck isn’t the most interesting to watch but it is far too new to ban w/o knowing fist counter play. Let’s see how the format looks in about 2 months
@@jackpabich763 I mean the best players in the world surely were attempting to meta game against it for this prestigious tournament. I don't think it should be banned, let Modern rot for yet another summer like with Gak and Oko. T3 non-deterministic instant speed storm kills through removal seems like a nightmare for the poor souls who actually compete, but it's hilarious to watch the wheels spin as a viewer.
I get that the audience for Magic probably leans very progressive.... but after watching this, all I can think about is Jason Tatums or Nick Bosa's pronouns appearing every single time their name flashed across the screen during an NBA or NFL game lol. I'm sure people can give me 1,000,000 reasons why it's important.... but people do not need to "guess" that information for 99.99% of the world.

I love mtg, but why are 90% of the players tubs of goo? Like have some self respect gentlemen. Hit the gym or something. Makes our community look bad when none of the pro players have the discipline to not look....well so damn gross

I watch him play when i was 8. Thank you for those old mtg play!!!😢😢😢😢
This helps to show the best of Magic. Truly shows how we are all part of the “Gathering”
A cheater got caught and DQ’d in this very stream, so I wouldn’t go that far.
Reid was so on point about Kai. I love both of those guys.

Kai, undisputed GOAT. Heavy news.
Huey, great speech.
5:50:00 props to whoever pulled up Dreadmaw as a one off gag during the livestream 😂
My heart and soul with kai and im sure He will defeat the disease, he is after all the german juggernaut. That disease has no idea who it is dealing with.
Seth always in top 8, how it is possibile?
5:31:53 Javier vs Bart (he cheats at some point in this match, not sure where)
Who cheats? What happens?

is it even a real pro tour if no one tries to get away with cheating ON CAM? what a moron. hope he gets banned from organized play
Kai is the Best!
Olle not playing Sylvan Safekeeper is disappointing. I wonder how often he was asked to sign it this weekend.
Looks like it was played against him around 5:52:40, but with a more recent printing of art that doesn't look like him
what happend to simons hands?
they made a specific counter for nadu lmao
oh thank god they stream this on yt, fuck the twitch mods

Nope, he just goes to check his hand to see what colors he needs. The steam vents stays at the bottom of the deck
He starts to grab a land from in front of Teferi, but then releases it and checks his hand. You can see at 8:10:22 if you watch at 0.25 speed he starts to slip the land out and pinch with his fingers, but he fully releases it, puts the deck down, checks his hand, then finds the surveil land. :)
