WCQ Round 3: Billy Brake vs. Derrick Brewer

June 30th, 2012

Billy Brake has won 2 YCS tournaments in the past year – YCS Toronto and YCS Columbus. Now, he’s competing for a chance to represent North America at the 2012 World Championship. He lost his first round to Wind-Ups, but he’s not discouraged. “I’ve lost Round 1 at least 3 times that I’ve topped,” he says. “Just gotta keep my head up!” Now, Brake is using his Inzektor Deck to Duel against Derrick Brewer’s Chaos Inzektors in a Match that may determine the fate of each of these Duelists.
