The more I think about this the more fucked up the situation is because if I get it right, ebay auto cancelled any order with sales tax at first so it priveledged states/orders without sales tax.
They should have cancelled all orders and redid it from scratch.

Not going to read that right now but in theory he could have borrowed the deck from someone else and kept the old sleeves on it. But that requires that the scumbag dude with cheater sleeves would leave the deck sleeved and Yuuya not resleeve the deck at any point himself. Whole thing just seems real, real unlikely.

Probably. Any high level event with that many rounds you'll usually at minimum redo your sleeves between days.

it's a Valid chain of events but it excludes one super important piece of information. Yuuyas old sleeves, Where are they? Do they have the same markings as his new sleeves?
I bet if you find his old sleeves they will have the same marks.

Handing over your deck to be checked for the top 8 when you know your sleeves are bullshit is so fucking retarded I'm willing to entertain alternative explanations.
Do you have to get the OK to resleeve or is there otherwise scrutiny from judges? The second I qualified for the top eight I'd be in a bathroom resleeving and tossing those incriminating fuckers in a Subway garbage can. SORRY BROS YOUR SACRIFICE WILL NOT BE FORGOTTEN.

he just happened to sleeve up the mines, power plants and towers with seperate distinct markings?

No retard, I'm saying he totally did/is cheating it's obvious.
I'm saying that Cygames chain of events is wrong because it ignores the fact that he probably marked his OLD set of sleeves as well as his new set of sleeves.
If they find his old set of sleeves I bet his tron is also marked in the same exact way.
Yuuya noticed that maybe his old sleeves where becoming too obvious so he decided to re sleeve them (or not obvious enough)

Always keeps surprising me how mtg pros are absolutely retarded when it comes to cheating.
Besides the fact that one can see these markings from literally 2 tables away, they are also very obviously intentional. As long as there is reason to doubt the intentional aspect of such a thing, the player gets a warning and is asked to resleeve, but instead of being careful these fuckers go all out.
He could have dented most of his sleeves and have blamed it on keeping a few dice in a less then optimal deckbox, instead he pretty much wrote the names of the card on the back of the sleeves instead.
He can't possibly be Asian.
