A Pokemon TCG player has gone viral for getting a “McBeating” in a tournament after his opponent brought his cards, dice, and playmat to the match wrapped in McDonald’s wrappers and cups.
Pokemon TCG events are in full force in 2023 after almost two years without any competitions, with the Pokemon World Championships taking place in Yokohama, Japan.
Armed with a playmat, dice, and cards, TCG players sit at their assigned tables for each round to play three games in the span of less than an hour.
How you get your supplies there is up to you, and one player has gone viral with his quite unique way of carrying his respective tools of the trade.

The McDonald’s bag is designed around Grimace’s birthday as well, something they’ve celebrated with a special meal as well as a Game Boy-esque game.
