TEAM YCS Las Vegas 2025: Standings After Round 10
March 16th, 2025
The Swiss portion of the tournament has concluded, and we’re moving to the Top 16! Here are the final standings after Swiss.
Round 9 Feature Match: Landon Oliver vs. Craig Hayashi
March 16th, 2025
Welcome to Day 2 of TEAM YCS Las Vegas! We’re kicking things off with a Fiendsmith Ryzeal mirror Match – it’s Colorado Duelist Landon Oliver, facing California Duelist Craig Hayashi. Oliver is representing Team Leclowns, along with Jose Santiago Torres and Esala Wathuthantrige. Hayashi is here with Team BACK, alongside Kenneth Kuo and Brandon Wold. Between these two teams, we have innumerable YCS Top Cut finishes, WCQ Top Cuts, and World Championship appearances. It’s time to Duel!
Round 9 Feature Match: Bobby Barone vs. Eric Garde
March 16th, 2025
We’re in the first Swiss Round of Day 2 at TEAM YCS Las Vegas! Team Chundra Fan Club and Team VACAYSHON both finished Day 1 with 6-1-1 records, and now they’re facing off in this Round 9 Feature Match! All of the players on Team Chundra Fan Club – Bobby Barone, Mario De Micco, and Rico Eichelberger – are likely fans of Tenpai Dragon Chundra, but that doesn’t necessarily mean they’re using Tenpai Dragon strategies this weekend. Similarly, Team VACAYSHON, comprised of Eric Garde, Jason Bai, and Salvador Flores Peralta, may be on “vacation”, but their attitude toward Dueling this weekend may be anything but relaxed. In this Feature Match, we’ll be focusing in on the Match between Bobby Barone and Eric Garde. Bobby Barone is the “Bobby” from our Round 7 Feature Match with Team Bobby’s Bench. While his benched Duelists didn’t make it to Day 2, Bobby Barone and Team Chundra Fan Club still have a solid shot at making the Top 16 cut. It’s time to Duel!

TEAM YCS Las Vegas: General Tech Update
March 16th, 2025
The Ryzeal and Maliss themes have been dominant since their debut in Crossover Breakers, with each strategy consistently making it into the top cut of the last several YCS events. Here at TEAM YCS Las Vegas, both decks continue to perform well, but are joined by other strategies, including Mermails and Blue-Eyes! With the changes to the format, here are some of the tech choices that top players have incorporated into their decks:
Time Wizard ATTACK OF THE GIANT CARD!! Tournament Prize!
March 16th, 2025
For Duelists who want to play formats of the past and didn’t make it to Day 2 of the Ultimate Time Wizard Challenge, there’s a special Public Event that they can compete in today. That event is the Time Wizard ATTACK OF THE GIANT CARD!! Tournament! The winner of this tournament will receive this beautiful GIANT card!
Reborn Tengu was once a top competitive card, and many Duelists are a fan of it. This GIANT copy with the 25th Quarter Century stamp on it will be an awesome addition to any Duelist’s collection. The second and third place Duelists in today’s Time Wizard ATTACK OF THE GIANT CARD!! Tournament will receive an Oversized (but not quite GIANT) copy.
