We’re now in the Top 8! We’re looking at the last Thunder Dragon player in contention, Johan de Castiho Hallack from Juiz de Fora, Minas Gerais who placed 8th after Swiss taking on Caio Santos Barreto who we featured in our Top 32 Feature Match running Windwitch Trickstars. Trickstars have trouble dealing with big monsters and a Thunder Dragon Colossus will stop Trickstar Candina, Trickstar Light Stage and in Barreto’s Deck, Windwitch – Ice Bell. There’s a lot of dead cards to contend with, but it won’t matter if Barreto gets enough burn damage through to end it quickly. Who’s moving onto the Semi-Finals? It’s time to Duel!

Welcome to the Top 32! It’s single elimination for here on out until we have a new champion! At Table 2 is the 6th seed Tiago Alves da Silva from Juiz De Fora, Minas Gerais, Brazil and his Sky Striker Deck taking on the 17th seed Ciao Santos Barreto from São Paulo and his Windwitch Trickstar Deck! We haven’t seen Windwitches in competition for some time, but their ability to deal effect damage and start combos with a single card (Windwitch – Ice Bell) complements the Trickstars ability to deal effect damage and start their own combos with a single card (Trickstar Light Stage or Trickstar Candina). One of these Duelists will move on to the Top 16 while the other will knocked out of the tournament. It’s time to Duel!

We’re looking at Table 3 where Rafael Jose Rodrigues de Souza from Recife, Pernambuco, Brazil is taking on Diego Oliveira Hoelzle from Belo Horizonte, Minas Gerais, Brazil. Rodrigues de Souza competed in the Duel Links World Championship this year, so we’ve already seen a lot from him at the highest level of competition. Both Duelists have a record of 6 wins and 1 loss. Rodrigues de Souza has Sky Striker and Hoelzle has True Draco. This will be a resource game that will reward careful planning and execution. It’s time to Duel!
