At each YCS event, the winner of Saturday’s Dragon Duel Tournament faces off against the winner of Sunday’s Dragon Duel Tournament in a showdown that determines the Dragon Duel Champion of the weekend! 12-year-old Austin H. from Wisconsin and 13-year-old Jackson B. from Kentucky both competed in their first YCS Dragon Duel events this weekend and had tremendous success. Jackson won Saturday’s Dragon Duel Tournament to earn his invitation into this playoff and Austin won today’s event to earn a spot Dueling against him. Now, they’re facing off in one Match that will determine which Duelist takes home the trophy and a set of Super Rare Darklord YCS Prize Cards! It’s time to Duel!

Steven Trifunoski and Yucheng Li from Toronto, Canada both play the Yu-Gi-Oh! TRADING CARD GAME at the same local tournaments. Now, they’re facing off in the third-place playoff! The winner of this Match will take third place and get the Super Rare Anotherverse Gluttonia that comes with it. The other Duelist will go home without a YCS Prize Card this weekend. Trifunoski is using a Mannadium Deck, and Li is using Purrely. It’s time to Duel!

Two wins. Two wins for one of these Duelists to be the next YCS Champion! We’ve got Logan Johnson, from Seattle, playing the newly popular Sinful Spoils Rescue-ACE Deck. He’s up against Steven Trifunoski, from Toronto, ON, who is the last Mannadium Duelist in contention. Will Rescue-ACE meet the hype, or will Mannadium come out ahead with the power of Field Spells? It’s time to Duel!

Top 8 is underway, and we have another great Feature Match in store! Yamil Camacho, from Clarksville, TN, is the lone Exosister Duelist to make it to the Top 32. He’s advanced this far, but now he’s facing Jack Li, from Scarborough, ON, and his Purrely Deck. Li is also the final Purrely Duelist in the tournament. Only one Duelist and one Deck can advance!

Logan Johnson from Seattle, Washington is Dueling against Ryhan Jabri from Paris, France in this Top 16 Feature Match that pits two Sinful Spoils Rescue-ACE Decks against one another! Jabri won YCS Utrecht in 2020, and he’s looking to claim his second YCS victory. But Johnson, who has made the Top Cut of a few YCS events but never won one, is hungry for his first victory. One of these Duelists will be eliminated, and the other will advance to the Top 8. It’s time to Duel!

Over 1,900 Duelists are reduced to just the Top 32! Logan Kite, from Greenville, TN, finished in 1^st place in the Swiss rounds with his Sinful Spoils Rescue-ACE Deck. He’s facing Kailyn Cooksey, from Kansas City, MO, who just won on the live stream with his unique Horus Bystial Deck! It’s single elimination from this point on, so only one of these Duelists can move on!

Lucas Johnson from Muskegon, Michigan and Sebastian Rodriguez from Hialeah, Florida both have 7-1-2 records going into this final Swiss Round, and they’re both using interesting strategies. Johnson is using a Drytron Deck, which is a Deck that was once popular but hasn’t seen much recent tournament success. Rodriguez is using a Scareclaw Mannadium Deck, capable of putting up fields full of monsters that are capable of negating an opponent’s card effects. Each of these two Duelists will need a victory in this round in order to maintain any hope of a Top 32 finish, so the stakes are high. It’s time to Duel!

Welcome to Day 2 of YCS Indianapolis! We’ve got Joshua Dickerson, from Indianapolis, and he’s the sole Gold Pride Duelist in Day 2! This archetype lives on the edge, paying lots of life for big benefits. He’s up against Julian Harvey, from Chicago, playing a Dark World Purrely Deck! It utilizes the discard effects of the Purrely Memory cards, along with Ken the Warrior Dragon and Gen the Diamond Tiger, to enable Dark World cards. Both of these Duelists have suffered two losses so far, so they’ll need to win this Match for a chance to make it to the Top 32.

We’re in the final Swiss Round for the first day of YCS Indianapolis! Jose Marin from Austell, Georgia and Jongwon Lee from Bloomington, Indiana both currently have 6-1-1 records, and now they’re facing off in our Round 9 Feature Match! Marin is using a HERO Deck and Lee is using a Kashtira Deck, so they’re both using rather unconventional strategies this weekend, but both still in contention for a Top Cut finish. It’s time to Duel!

We’re 8 rounds into YCS Indianapolis, but there’s still more to go! We have Victor Lu, a Floo-rida Duelist. That’s a Floowandereeze Duelist from Florida! He’s facing Davon Amos Hall, from Michigan, playing Labrynth! Both these Decks tend to play outside the typical norms of other top tier strategies, but how will they fare against each other? There’s only one way to find out!
