QQ: What Did You Think of Six Samurai Winning YCS Guadalajara?
QQ stands for Quick Questions! YCS Guadalajara was the first YCS that permitted use of the new Wind-Up and Inzektor monsters. That’s why a lot of Duelists expected one of those 2 themes to win the tournament. But at the end of the weekend, the Six Samurai took the victory, emerging at the top of a diverse Top 32. I surveyed the field of Duelists here in Atlanta to see what they thought of Six Samurais winning the most recent YCS. Here’s how they answered:
“I thought they would top because they’re popular in Mexico, but winning!? Shocked…” –Dominique Roberts
“I had predicted it! Seriously.” –Courney Waller
“Rivalry of Warlords!!! And Shi En.” –Manuel Ballesteros
“Not surprised too too much. Sams still have a very strong opening!” –Steffon Bizzell
“It was surprising, but I didn’t like that it made some players disregard the YCS as a fluke.” –Danny Santana
