There’s a Yu-Gi-Oh! Championship Series event here in Niagara Falls, Canada for the first time ever, giving local Duelists a convenient opportunity to compete at one of the highest levels of competition! Check out which Duelists competing this weekend are playing in their first YCS event!
It’s been one month since the new Advanced Format kicked off at the 200th Yu-Gi-Oh! Championship Series (YCS) weekend.
The new Forbidden & Limited List dealt notable blows to some of Dueling’s most dominant strategies, but by the time the dust had settled at YCS Utrecht, YCS Columbus, and YCS Mexico City the field looked quite familiar. The nature of competition seemed to be evolving, as Turn 1 setups became weaker and grinding for value became the order of the day. But at the end of three consecutive Championships the balance of power almost refused to shift.

Congratulations to our newest YCS Champion, Andres Torres! He piloted his innovative Burning Abyss Deck to victory over 2,616 other Duelists in the biggest Central American YCS of all time!
It all comes down to this! In an unexpected matchup, we have Sky Strikers against Burning Abyss! Jose Lagunes, from Vera Cruz, is playing Sky Strikers. Much of the Top 64 was Sky Strikers, proving that the strategy is one to be reckoned with. He’s up against Andres Torres’s Sekka’s Light Burning Abyss Deck now! We just saw Torres take a commanding victory in his Top 4 Feature Match, but can he do it again? Sky Strikers won the other 200th YCS events in Utrecht and in Columbus. Will Lagunes join his Sky Striker brethren in victory, or will Torres get the upset? It’s time to Duel!
Here’s a quick look at our token booth, the most popular attraction outside the main event! Yesterday we printed over 800 tokens, and the Duelists are back for more. The photo here is actually showing less than half the people in line, and it was that busy the entire day. These Duelists have excellent taste!
