They're on the ball if a statement has already been issued. Assuming everything in the statement is true, then it doesn't sound unreasonable.
It's certainly worth DQing if the events really happened that way. Both players maintain that Floch said "I concede" (in Slovak) before revealing the card, and the language barrier prevents anyone who was there at the time from really being able to tell. Obviously the head judge felt there was good reason to doubt that story.

When you peer long enough through the depths, the depths peer also through you.
I was at the GP today. Lots of affinity, Pod, control, Twin...the usual. I was on Angel Pod, dropped out of day 2 contention on round 5. Tons of pro players here (except Reid Duke ). Looking forward to seeing what happens tomorrow.
I just watched the game with Ivan and I don't think it was fair. I mean the two guys are friends and at that point it was VERY obvious Cifka was going to win that one no matter the board state. Ivan even showed his hand and talked about the potential plays he could make, but it is true that before either player scooped their cards Ivan looked at the top card but im sure at that point he already said that Cifka had it. I mean, usually when players dump their hands on the table and discuss the situation its a good indicator they are giving up.

I do know that an 8 Rack player made day 2. The insight these two particular commentators give are useless. you'd be better off muting it and playing audio from an old 3 stooges episode. I just know newer players are watching and learning all the wrong things.

In case I didn't tell you, I don't care about your opinion I just want your facts. And not the facts that make you seem smart. I want the ones that are actual facts.

Yeah that 8 Rack player defeated Gerard Fabiano who was playing UWR Control 2-0
Man, all these old Modern decks that are terrible I used to play 2-3 years ago are all now sitting at X-1 and X-0. Soul Sisters, Living End, Burn, Infect, Assault Loam. Exciting, but it brings back a lot of bad memories of PTQ and GP failures, haha.

Right? Why is there no zoo... All these other random decks
I'm starting to suspect no one knows how to pilot Zoo anymore!
Though there's always the likelihood that some pilots got stuck in a really bad case of losers bracket nightmare matchups divebombing them into a marathon of losses.
I mean, it's all fun and games until you find out everyone who lost alongside you just so happens to have the edge against your deck.
All the 'bad' decks people are talking about have the ability to do 'unfair' things in a game/match and can catch a meta off guard, especially if those playing are not expecting those type decks. Zoo is too 'fair' of a deck to surprise a meta. Zoo does nothing that is 'unfair'. Its a straight forward deck that usually has a single plan of action. The best Zoo pilot in the world is not going to be able to consistently win with Zoo.
Standard operating procedure for DQs at events like this. Believe HJ is essentially obligated to explain it publicly.

Storm Crow is strictly worse than Seacoast Drake.
