Saw him in DC, seems like he's doing fine at SCGPRO.
Should we give him a second chance?
I say no. Opinion?

Is that a reference to this 4chan post: http://i.imgur.com/nRPzL67.png ?
On the one hand, I don't like what Bertoncini did. On the other hand, he already got punished for it, and it's not fair to continue punishing him. Maybe he changed?
I'm not a fan,
The guy did his time, lets move on.
LOL. I didn't see that post. Epic though. If half of the shit that people spew on 4 chan is true I'll be happy
The problem is that the punishment didnt fit the crime. Life ban is appropriate for multiple explicit intentional instances of cheating.
I wouldnt feel. Comfortable playing against him because i would be distracted trying to watch for bim to cheat to focus on my turns and responses

why cards are so expensive...hoarders
I don't really generally pay attention to my opponents in matches, so Im sure Ive been cheated at least once, but I wonder what I would do if I were paired against him. I honestly do not know.
Id cAll a judge to watch our game but even at that with as successful as he has been at cheating i wouldnt feel comfortable that the judge would necessarily catch all of the cheats either.

Lol. One question that they asked T8 Competitors was "What's the most misunderstood card in Legacy?" Bertoncini said "Explore".
Are you sure you understand it the way it should be understood? ^^
Anyway, another guy said Explore. Some sort of private joke I guess..
Age: Yes, that one.
Occupation: Miss me?
And for those that don't know, this video should explain Explore and Bertoncini.
He's just being a douchey idiot for the sake of it I guess.
What I don't know is how he's still allowed to play in SCG events. All of his high profile instances of cheating were in SCG Opens and Invitationals. He can still play Magic at Grand Prixs and such, sure, but I don't know why SCG didn't just blacklist him from their events.
I had thought they'd blacklisted him, but I re-checked the announcement and nope. As much as they probably dislike him, He draws attention (see this thread), which is the purpose of the open series.
He's in the finals. Everyone keep a sharp eye out whenever Alex moves his hand ;)
No cheating there. Totally bombed the finals.

I was watching him play in DC and he didn't seem to have changed his way of playing.
Fast and sloppy.
I'm still not 100% convinced he learned. I don't know. Maybe it's just me. I always been told by my old man "once a cheater, always a cheater"
I watched him stream and he seems bit hyperactive, maybe it's just him.
Anyways, he has been putting good results after lifting of his ban.
I hope all best for him if he's playing as we are supposed.
If he stopped his shenanigans, great! I wouldn't be more happy.
But I'm still suspicious!
