I’ve known Mateo since he started playing in OP05, and he would never do anything intentionally to gain an advantage over an opponent or cheat in any way. He is a very honest person. Besides being a very good player, before the match against Eric, he played against Yonas in the top 16 and in the top 3 match, he beat Holdem. Also, the record they showed stating that he only had one top 2 is incorrect. He has several top 16 finishes and at least two top 8 finishes (that’s where he got the Katakuri he plays, and he won them himself). The difference between this and Mateo's mistake in the second game is that the fix was simply to send the Katakuri to the trash and that’s it. In this case, he paid for a Baby Sabo, which allowed him to play a big one that made him draw 2 cards and discard 2. Also, by attached the dons and attacking, he influenced the opponent's hand since Mateo knew the number of available attacks and the number of free dons. The moment he attached the dones, attacked, and Mateo countered, the situation became unfixable
Per the official rules you’re supposed to reveal the card you’re going to play and then rest the don. They probably don’t want to take any chances with strict judges
