This is very funny but also kinda mean to the kid who was excited about winning the tournament

The mod later edited their comment:

EDIT: as funny as it is to imagine that I literally removed the post because it spoiled a tournament result, I actually didn't; another mod removed it (for being low-effort). In light of this post's popularity I'll re-approve it.

Reddit link.

At some point OP deleted the post anyway. Dunno if it was in response to their treatment by mods, or unrelated to that.

Low effort? I thought winning a tournament was big effort!

Yeah but it takes a little bit more effort than winning a tournament if you want to post on reddit.

1984 was a leap year starting on Sunday of the Gregorian calendar

I hate this. So what if a post is low effort? If users upvote, it's fine. Dumb rule, dumb mod.
