The Finals Are About to Begin!
Get ready!
Check out the winners of this weekend’s 3 vs. 3 Team Tournament!
The last time we saw Jesse Kotton, he was getting whomped by fellow Torontonian Dale Bellido in his Round 1 Feature Match yesterday. But Bellido is out of the Top Cut, and Kotton is still in contention here in the Top 8! His opponent this round is another of our last-men-standing, Gabriel El-Allie, from Michigan. Both duelists are playing Pure Zoodiacs. Let’s get started.
Thomas Mak won YCS Chicago back in 2014, a little over three years ago. Now the Philadelphian Duelist is back in the hunt for title gold, playing Pure Zoodiacs in the Top 16. His opponent is another relatively recent star in the Dueling world, Mason Mattila. The Greenbay Duelist racked up a ton of Top Cut showings with Kozmos in 2016, including a top at YCS Minneapolis, then topped repeatedly with Blue-Eyes White Dragon and Artifact Invoked Windwitch Decks earlier this year.
Yesterday we showed you Eric Dalton’s Dinosaur FTK deck when he won our Round 8 Feature Match. With an 8-2 record he’s now in the Top 32, and we’re going to check in to see how his strategy works in a Top 32 environment, as more players start to learn about the Deck he’s running.
The Top 32 is about to begin! Check out the Pairings in the first Elimination Round of the tournament!
As we wait for the Top 32 to get started, let’s take a quick look at some of the Championship-level prizes on offer this weekend!
