World Championships"},"content":{"rendered":"

Yu-Gi-Oh! Master Duel<\/em> became the center of controversy and debate at the Yu-Gi-Oh! World Championships<\/em> this past weekend. The tournament started off with a shock for players of the 3v3 Master Duel<\/em> format, when early on in Swiss rounds, the majority of their deck lists appeared online.<\/p>

The decks appeared on the website MasterDuelMeta<\/a>, a resource website for those trying to improve their play in the game. This immediately bristled against portions of the Yu-Gi-Oh!<\/em> community, including competitive players at the World Championship. <\/p>

The founder of MasterDuelMeta and its sister site DuelLinksMeta, content creator Dkayed, posted a Twitch clip to Twitter<\/a> explaining his reason for posting the lists. He explained, “what happens at Worlds is [that] players at home, not at the event venue, they will scour through all the replays… they create spreadsheets. And then they link the spreadsheet to a few amount of players, only to their friends… that, in my opinion, is an unfair advantage.” <\/p><\/iframe>

His evidence for these claims were his own first-hand experience at the World Championships. Dkayed also explained that he had done the same thing on this website last year when covering the Master Duel<\/em> championships, and that all of this information is accessible through the Master Duel<\/em> client itself. <\/p>

The deck lists were also compiled using the third party app Untapped.gg. Untapped tweeted on their Yu-Gi-Oh!<\/em> account on September 8 saying they had fixed the issue that made this possible on their end. <\/p>

Using the Untapped Companion to see deck lists that would otherwise be hidden is unintended and goes against our philosophy and the purpose of the tool. We have fixed this issue in the most recent update.<\/p>— Untapped.gg | YGO Master Duel (@UntappedYGO) September 8, 2024<\/a><\/blockquote>
