In the last hours of every Yu-Gi-Oh! Championship Series weekend, eight intrepid Duelists are selected to compete in two unique mini-tournaments, four competitors in each. The first four are the highest points-earners participating in Public Events over the course of the weekend. The next four are selected at random from the complete pool of participants, regardless of performance. These two groups play off in a two-round Single Elimination showdown, and the winner of each group wins a set of the Darklord prize cards. This Match pitted James Neumann against Nicholas Montano, in the first round of the Random Entry Public Event Playoffs. Neumann is running Tengu Synchro, while Montano is playing Gravekeepers.

Nathaniel Jadotte is one of several Six Samurai Duelists that made the Top 32, but Adam Moshinsky is the only Macro Cosmos Duelist to make the playoffs. We haven’t seen a Macro Cosmos Deck make the Top 32 of a YCS tournament in years! It’s a great fit for this tournament though, banishing key cards like Glow-Up Bulb, Dandylion, Spore, Gravekeeper’s Recruiter, and XX-Saber Darksoul. Read more…

We saw alot of different Decks make the Top 32 at this event, but one of the most surprising was Reinaldo Jose Lainez Diaz’s Infernity Deck.

These are the only Infernity and Anti-Monster Decks to make the Top 32 cut, so they represent their strategies’ last chance to continue on in the tournament. Read more…
