Jonathan Boutin DQed from Worlds

By ManaNation.com ⋅ November 20, 2009 ⋅ Post a comment ⋅ Print This Post

As was announced a few hours ago on the World Championships’s offi­cial Wizards.com cov­er­age (link), three play­ers were dis­qual­i­fied from the World Cham­pi­onships in Rome on Day 2 of the tour­na­ment, one of whom was ManaNation.com’s own con­trib­u­tor Jonathan Boutin, bet­ter known as ‘JBoots.’

ManaNation.com is ded­i­cated to teach­ing Magic and being a pos­i­tive resource for play­ers, for which Jonathan has been a sta­ple mem­ber pro­vid­ing valu­able draft videos and game play com­men­tary for nearly two months, includ­ing one posted just this morning.

We were quite sur­prised by the news of his dis­qual­i­fi­ca­tion from the tour­na­ment and are cur­rently in the process of look­ing fur­ther into what hap­pened. We are unsure what, if any, action will be taken at this time.

  1. Wow… this is quite sur­pris­ing. If it has to deal with the rules again then OMG. MODO should replace all judges and enforce every­thing by itself. If its not the rules then OMG.

    Look­ing for­ward to details.

  2. Jon Boutin is not some­one who would cheat, this is redicu­lous. Jasar is a good player, we wouldn’t need to. I’m call­ing shenani­gans on the judges
