After a controversial victory covering the incorrect call of the rule by a judge, a professional Disney Lorcana The player was apparently disqualified from the upcoming world tournament, while his opponent received a scarce trading card worth about USD 10,000.
February 2, during Disney Lorcana Melbourne Championship 2025Jesse Lentini and Clément “Reclum” Fusade played with each other in the essential best game. The card match has been streamed online, and the winner will receive a very scarce Golden Mickey card worth $ 10,000 to 20,000. The winner also went to the first fourth and had a chance to get to the first Lorcana World tournament, so it was a great moment and many people watched.
What happened during the event
In the third and last round of the matchLentini “Look” a magic card of the broom, scoring a victory point. Then he played Merlin, a card that gives you a victory point for plain playing. And then he went to throw his broom card to his stack, because this card has a ability that allows it to destroy when you play a different character and then draw a card. Then his opponent, Fusade, complained and asked to enter the judge.
Fusade’s argument consisted in the fact that Lentini lost the chance to launch a broom when he caught a goat point of Merlin and moved on. If you played Lorcana You will even freely know that this is nonsense. In fact, according to official rules, simultaneous triggers can be served in any order, as long as you have clarity with the other player. For many years judge i Lorcana The expert confirmed this No rule was broken in the movie with Lorcana Creator of content Joe “Speci” Curley. In fact, as indicated in the same film, Lentini did something very similar earlier in the same match that was not marked by a judge or Fusada.
However, this did not matter, because during the match the referee incorrectly stood with Fusade and made Lentini put the broom back on the board, not allowing him to reject him to a draw. This ultimately cost Lentini a match and a chance to qualify for the global tournament. Fusade then reached the final match And he lost, but still qualified for the world finals. Lentini also cost the Lentini Miki Miki Mouse card.
There was a lot of indignation and slack over the decision. Even the Fusade team He suspended him for three months for his actions. Ultimately, the company at the back LorcanaRavensburger, he entered and announced that he had examined the incident. And although the full results of the investigation will not be made public, it seems that there is a slightly happy ending.
According to news of RavensburgerLentini received the Golden Mickey Mouse card. Meanwhile in Blog post Published Friday, exchanging the winners who qualified for the world tournament, There is no convergence And he was replaced by second place, Ben Simmons. Although it has not yet been confirmed whether Fusade was actually disqualified or just abandoned, based on how Ravensburger provided Lentini with the MICKEY Golden Card, I think that you can safely assume that Fusade was removed from this event.
Lorcana is still a relatively new card game compared to Magic AND PokémonSo the community is happy to see that this controversial situation will be resolved in a satisfactory way. We hope that this is an indicator that Ravensburger is seriously approaching the protection of the game and the quality of its future events.
