The View From The Top 32

April 2nd, 2023

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!
