Seven Rounds of competition this weekend had come to this – two talented youth Duelists, about to throw down for the title of 2016 Dragon Duel Champion of Central America! The winner here would go on to represent Central America at the 2016 Yu-Gi-Oh! TRADING CARD GAME Dragon Duel World Championship in Orlando Florida in August. Daniel Isai Coronel Contreras is playing Kozmos, while Ronaldo Isai Sierra Cabello is running Domain Monarchs.
Juan Carlos Coronel, together with his younger brother and father, traveled from Guadalajara to attend the Central American World Championship Qualifier, after the Mexican National Championship, with Juan attending as the Mexican Dragon Duel Champion, and his father as Mexican National Champion. He is our newest Central American Dragon Duel Champion and will be representing all of Central America, and Konami Digital Entertainment, Inc. at the 2015 Yu-Gi-Oh! TRADING CARD GAME World Championship in Kyoto, Japan.
Congratulations to Juan, and we will see you in Kyoto in August!
This was it! One month ago, Juan Carlos Coronel and Daniel Isai Coronel sat across from each other at a tournament table much like this one, as they Dueled for the title of National Dragon Duel Champion of Mexico! Juan Carlos emerged victorious in that Match to take the title, but now his little brother was back and gunning for the Central American Dragon Duel Champion title. Juan Carlos is playing Nekroz. Daniel is playing Burning Abyss. Two brothers, once again facing off for a Championship. We’ve never seen anything like this before! Juan Carlos chose to play second in the first Duel.
Local Duelist Daniel Coronel is about to Duel against Ivan Alvarez from the Dominican Republic in the Finals of this year’s Dragon Duel World Championship Qualifier. Both of these young Duelists are only 11 years old, but the experience at stake is one that they’ll remember for the rest of their lives. The winner of this Match will have the opportunity to compete in the 2014 Yu-Gi-Oh! TRADING CARD GAME Dragon Duel World Championship in Italy this August, and will have his travel and accommodations paid for by Konami. Which young Duelist will prevail? We’re about to find out! It’s time to Duel!
Ivan Enrique de Jesus from the Dominican Republic! Well done Ivan, and also to all the other Dragon Duelists! This is the first time that we will have a World Championship representative from the Dominican Republic. See you next month Ivan in Italy!
