2018/02 – UDS 2018 Winter Invitational – Sacramento tagged with 'Feature Match'
It all comes down to this! Despite Pendulum Magician taking the largest share of representation in the field, the Finals has zero Pendulum Magician Decks anywhere to be found. Aaron Arturo Aguirre Osuna, the only Duelist to take a dedicated Zefra Deck to the UDS Invitational, takes on Kenneth Kuo and his Trickstar Deck. One of these Duelists will walk away as the winner of the UDS Invitational and with it, gain the title of Champion with a title belt and a 2-Round BYE at every YCS he enters. Who will be the Ultimate Duelist? For the last time this weekend, it’s time to Duel!

We’re down to the Semi-Finals! We just saw Esteban Vences Brito dominate in his Top 8 Feature Match, and he’s back again now. He’s up against Kenneth Chung-Jeng Kuo, from Fremont, CA, who’s packing a Trickstar Deck. Magicians vs. Trickstars was a definitive matchup six months ago, but a lot has changed since then. Who will move on to the Finals? There’s only one way to find out! It’s time to Duel!

We started with 144 Duelists and now we’re down to 8! It’s 3 Rounds of Single Elimination until we have a winner and a new Ultimate Duelist Series Champion! Ed Acepcion and Aaron Arturo Aguirre Osuna already played each other in Round 10, so they’re already familiar with what they’re going up against; but this time the stakes are higher as each Duelist is just 3 wins from the title of Champion and all of the perks that come with it! It’s time to Duel!

I hope you’re not sick of seeing Ed Acepcion’s Magical Musketeers yet, because he’s back for yet another Feature Match! We wanted to cover Peter Duong’s Thunder Buddies Deck (which we saw yesterday) again, and it just so happened that he’s paired against Acepcion. With two of the most surprising rogue Decks in the tournament facing off, we just had to give them a Feature Match!

It’s Round 11 – we’re halfway through the Swiss Rounds for today’s portion of the tournament. Brian Chen from San Jose is here playing a Pendulum Magician Deck. While Magicians have proven to be the most popular strategy after YCS Atlanta, we’ve got a lot of variety in the Top 32. Khuram Haroonsuleman, here from Montreal, is an example of that variety. He’s playing a SPYRAL Deck, and he’s even using SPYGAL Misty – a card most players wrote off since it isn’t technically a SPYRAL monster. Both Duelists have two losses currently, so a win here will go a long way towards getting them into the Top 8.

One of our Feature Matches this round includes 2017 World Championship competitor Esala Wathuthantrige from Los Angeles, Calfornia. Esala got his points from UDS Qualifiers at Hobbies and More in La Puente, California. His opponent, Rob Loa got most of his points from Northwest Sportscards in Tacoma, Washington and he has a True Draco Deck with him. Every win counts here, so let’s see who gets to keep his Top 8 hopes alive! It’s time to Duel!

Welcome to Day 2 of the 2018 UDS Winter Invitational in Sacramento! We’ve got Carson, CA’s Ed Acepcion back at the Feature Match table. We saw his Magical Musketeer Deck yesterday, where he won his Feature Match. He’s got a 7-2 record now, still in a good position to make it to the Top 8. His opponent is a Sacramento Duelist, Zeyad Khal. Khal’s playing Trickstars today, and he’s in for a surprise – he’s never played against Magical Musketeers before. We’ll see how quickly he can adapt to them.
