It all comes down to this! It’s a Pendulum mirror-Match in the Finals of YCS Atlanta with Dablessin Wilson from Waukegan, Illinois taking on Jeremy Mitchell from Jacksonville, Florida. Only one of these Duelists will walk away with an Ultra Rare Number 89: Diablosis the Mind Hacker and the title of YCS Champion! For the last time this weekend, it’s time to Duel!
We’re down to just four Duelists! There are lots of similarities between these two Duelists – they’re both from Florida, both are playing Pendulum Magicians, and both have come just shy of glory, having each taken second place at UDS Invitationals in recent times. Only one can move on from here to get another chance at a big win!
We’re just 3 rounds away from crowning a new YCS Champion! In this Feature Match, we have the only non-Magician Pendulum Decks left in the tournament. YCS Dallas 2017 winner Mohammed Imran Khan, who took SPYRALs to the top after defeating his younger brother in the finals, is looking to make it to the top here. This time, he’s the last SPYRAL Duelist standing. He’s facing off against the last Trickstar Duelist left in the room, Edwin Diaz. Only one of these Duelists will make it to Top 4. Who will it be? It’s time to Duel!
Phillip Musso won today’s Dragon Duel tournament. He’s here from New Orleans, and he’s piloting a D/D/D strategy. He’s up against yesterday’s winner Danil McQuillin, originally from Ukraine but now living in Roswell, GA. He’s using an Infernity Pendulum FTK strategy, looking to pull off a huge combo to win in a single turn. The victor here will become YCS Atlanta Dragon Duel Champion! More than a title, they’ll win an awesome trophy and a set of the Darklord YCS Prize Cards!
We’re in the Top 16! Both Duelists in this Feature Match are just 4 wins away from a YCS championship title! At Table 1 are friends from Knoxville, Tennessee. Jacob Moore, who ended Swiss with a 9-2 record, is running 60-card Dinos / Zombies / Lightsworn. He’s up against the player who ended Swiss as the number 1 seed, Omar Bsiso. Bsiso is running Pendulum Magicians. Only one of these Duelists can advance to the Top 8. It’s time to Duel!
Out of over 1100 Duelists, only 32 remain! Illinois Duelist Mohammed Khan won YCS Dallas last year using SPYRALs, and he’s still playing them today despite the massive hit they took on the latest Forbidden & Limited List! His opponent is Juan Andrade, here all the way from Ecuador. Andrade is both a UDS winner and a YCS Champion, having won a UDS Invitational in Ecuador as well as YCS Buenos Aires. This will be a great match-up, featuring new forms of last format’s top decks, SPYRALs and Pendulum Magicians.
We’re now in Top 32! From here on, it’s Single Elimination until we have a YCS winner! At table 11 we have Calvin Tahan from Washington, D.C. playing ABC and ending Swiss with a record of 9-2. He’s up against Nicholas Petzold from Austin, Texas using Metalfoes True Draco, who made it to the Top 32 with a 9-1-1 record! Who will advance to Top 32? Let’s find out! It’s time to Duel!
This is the last round of Swiss. Both Duelists in this Round 11 Feature Match are 7-2-1 so neither can afford anything less than a win to keep their hopes for making the Top 32 playoff alive. 15-year-old Blake Funderburke from Long Island, New York and his opponent Wei Li from Brooklyn, New York are Dueling one another in this final Swiss Round. Li actually got his Deck from Blake, so both players knew this was a Mekk-Knight Invoked mirror match! Which of these players will keep their playoff hopes alive? Let’s find out! It’s time to Duel!
We’ve got two very talented Duelists for our Round 10 Feature Match. Ryan Levine is a YCS Champion, having won the title at YCS Melbourne last month! He’s using Mekk-Knight Invoked for this event, one of the new archetypes introduced in Extreme Force. His opponent is Brenden Beckmann, who’s made the top cut of countless events. Beckmann is using a Pendulum Magician Deck, also featuring new Extreme Force cards – the Mythical Beasts! Beckmann lost his Feature Match earlier in the tournament, but he’s got a chance to redeem himself here.
Welcome to Round 10! We have 2 more rounds of Swiss before a cut to the Top 32 playoff. We wanted to feature a Dinosaur Deck and heard there was one floating around the tables at 7-2. It turns out there were two Dinosaur Decks playing each other. How cool is that?! Both Johnathan Barber from Jacksonville, Florida and Gavin Reiniche from Chattanooga, Tennessee have Dinosaur decks; Barber has a 40-card Deck with True Kings while Reiniche has a 60-card deck with Plants and Zombies along with Dinosaurs. Who’s going back to the stone age? Let’s find out! It’s time to Duel!
