Eduardo Cunha has been crowned the winner of Pokemon World Championship 2022, beating second-place runner-up Guillermo Castilla Diaz. He secured his win just now at the London finals, closing off the weekend of Pokemon celebrations in the Capital.

In a post-match interview, he said, "I'm so happy, I don't even know how to describe it". He credits his ability to mix up his game plan on the fly for his finals win, and "learning how to trust" his own abilities.

Speaking in the interview, a relieved Cunha said: "I know it's cliche but I would not have been here without all the support and help I get from everyone."

He also used the opportunity to refer to some controversy he was involved in last year, when he was found posting messages in a Discord that many found misogynistic and toxic. In response to criticism, screenshots of Twitter DMs show that he threatened to harm himself, telling the critic it would be their fault if he did.

Seemingly referencing this incident, Cunha thanked his mother for helping him "develop into a much better human being than what I once was." He continued: "[I'm] able to stand here proud of my accomplishments despite what I may have done in the past".

This is a developing story.
