Four Rounds remained in the 250th YCS here in Los Angeles, and for the handful of surviving Duelists still in contention it was do-or-die. The winner here would move on to the Top 8, while the defeated Duelist would be cast into the shadow realm. (Not really. They’d probably just go back to their hotel.)
Here are the winners of today’s Speed Duel ATTACK OF THE GIANT CARD!! event!
We have Brian Xelo in 1st place, with a GIANT Book of Moon! Next is Jesus Avila in 2nd place with a less giant, but still impressive Book of Moon. And finally, it’s Tuan Nguyen with an oversized Gate Guardian. Congratulations, Speed Duelists!
This Feature Match is a battle of YCS Las Vegas Champions! Adam Belohradsky, from Stockton, CA, won YCS Las Vegas in 2016 with Dracoslayer Performapals. He’s facing Alex Cancel, from Houston, TX, who was one of the winners of TEAM YCS Las Vegas back in February, playing Kashtira. Cancel is still using Kashtira today, while Belohradsky is playing an extremely different Deck: Traptrix!
More than 60 teams competed today in the 3 v 3 Team Dueling tournament, the popular Public Events series that awards matted uncut sheets to every individual member of the winning team. Who took home top honors – and some slick sheets! – this Sunday? Here are your victors…

It all comes down to this! Caleb Hernandez, from Upland, CA, won yesterday’s Dragon Duel event, and he’s back to face Connor Rosenstein, from Portland, OR, the winner of today’s event! The winner of this Match will take home a set of the Darklord Prize Cards, as well as the exclusive 250th YCS Dragon Duel trophy!
Over 3200 competitors played in the YCS Los Angeles main event, and now the remaining field is less than 1% of that original total. After 13 Rounds of play the entire tournament’s been whittled down to just 32 Duelists, now competing in close quarters for five more Rounds. The one Duelist who survives the gauntlet of world-class competitors will earn the title of 250th YCS Champion, a legendary achievement, but getting there won’t be easy.
Here’s a look at the top 32 tables as competition kicks off!
