Only one Floowandereeze Duelist is left in the Main Event here at YCS Pasadena, and it’s France’s Baptiste Derouin! He’s facing off against Vincent Wong, from right here in Los Angeles. What makes this Match unique? There are no Ishizu Fairy cards in either Deck.

Now that we’re in the Top 32 here at YCS Pasadena, it’s a great time to look at the prizes up for grabs in the YCS Main Event! 

Everybody who makes the Top 32 earns their invite to the next World Championship Qualifier. To commemorate their achievement, they also receive a Yu-Gi-Oh! Championship Series Top Cut Game Mat, featuring the new YCS Prize Card, Anotherverse Dragon!

Chris LeBlanc won his fourth YCS title just two weeks ago at YCS Minneapolis, and now he’s back, clinging to a shot at the Top 32 here in the final Swiss Round of Day 2! His opponent is in the same situation: precariously perched on the bubble, wondering if even a win is enough to get him a seat in the Top Cut.

Day 1 is almost over, and with two more Swiss Rounds tomorrow before the Top Cut, every win is precious! Blake Funderburke is fresh off a big finish at YCS Quito last month, where he took 3^rd Place with his teammates Esala Wathuthantrige and Aaron Chase Furman. Funderburke’s three for three in Team YCS events: he made the Top Cuts at Team YCS Atlanta and Team YCS Las Vegas as well. But today he’s on his own, sitting at Table 16 with a 7-1 record, in striking distance of the Top Cut tomorrow.

Some of the coolest prizes of the weekend are awarded in Speed Duel ATTACK OF THE GIANT CARD!! tournaments, and now the first Speed Duel Giant Cards of the weekend have been awarded!

There’s more Speed Duel GIANT CARD action coming tomorrow, with all-new Giant-sized and jumbo prize cards, so be sure to check back Sunday to see what was up for grabs here at YCS Pasadena!

The Saturday ATTACK OF THE GIANT CARD!! tournament is now over, and these are your Top 3 prize-winning Duelists…

Jake Quinsee has once again traveled from the United Kingdom, competing in another North American YCS! Quinsee’s on Ishizu Tearlaments, teched with Diviner of the Herald and Herald of Orange Light. But his opponent is Johnny Nguyen, also known as YouTube creator aznpersuasion2008, piloting a Runick build that’s been taking down Ishizu Decks all day long! Both of these Duelists are undefeated with a single tie, sitting at Table 10, so this could be a tight Match.

Let’s see how it goes.

Kobe Short won YCS Pasadena in 2019, and now he’s back this weekend to defend his title! Hailing from Lafayette, Louisiana, Short won his Championship with Sky Strikers, but he’s here today wielding an Ishizu Tearlaments Deck, fully committed with Soul Exchange and Gravekeeper’s Trap.

His opponent is Lorenzo Antonio Hernandez Bedolla from Bakersfield, California. He’s playing Branded Despia this weekend, packing new cards from Darkwing Blast like The Bystial Lubellion, Bystial Magnamhut, and Branded Beast! Can the updated Despia Deck resist the sheer force of Ishizu Tearlaments? Or were we about to see all the hype deliver? 

The answer would prove decisive. 

California is Yu-Gi-Oh! country, and today, Championship Dueling returns to the Golden State!

Yesterday Jordan Palmer took 1st Place in the Saturday ATTACK OF THE GIANT CARD!! tournament, earning a GIANT version of Speed Duel Rainbow Dragon! Today he was back to finish sweeping the Speed Duel GIANT CARD!! tournaments, claiming a Giant-sized Cyber End Dragon as well!
