We’re now at the end! 731 Duelists entered, and we’re down to the final two Duelists standing in the finals of YCS Vancouver! Kody Manabe and Jesse Kotton have each torn through the competition this weekend with their Unchained decks, and now they will face off in the last Duel of the weekend. Only one of these Duelists will come out on top, and walk away with a championship trophy and an Ultra Rare Anotherverse Gluttonia Prize Card. It’s time to Duel!
YCS Vancouver is starting to wind down, and as the Finals Match rages on, the two Duelists from the Top 4 who fell just short have one more match to play, for the chance to win a Super Rare copy of the new Prize Card, Anotherverse Gluttonia!
On one side of the table, Christopher LeBlanc from Waltham, Massachusetts. On the other side, Richard Schaber from Stuttgart, Germany. This is Schaber’s first YCS Top Cut and he’s surprised that he’s made it this far! Schaber finished 2nd Place after 10 Rounds of Swiss this weekend, and he’s eager to finish strong with a Prize Card win.
Only a few Matches are left here in the Top Cut at YCS Vancouver, and the players duking it out need no introduction! Jesse Kotton and Chris LeBlanc are each fighting for their sixth Championship win! Kotton’s gone undefeated all weekend with his Unchained build, but LeBlanc’s hoping to take him down with his Purrely Deck!

We are in the Top 8 here at YCS Vancouver! We have Bestoor Sedghi from Toronto, ON going up against 5-time YCS Champion Christopher LeBlanc from Waltham, MA. Sedghi is using an Infernoble Knight Deck, while LeBlanc is running Purrely.
Sedghi’s Infernoble Knight Deck got a huge boost with all of the awesome new cards in Duelist Nexus and his deck is filled with Quarter Century Secret Rares of each! LeBlanc’s Deck is Purrely, which is built on Special Summoning powerful Xyz Monsters like Expurrely Noir. LeBlanc is trying this weekend to get his 6th YCS win, so the stakes are high here in Top 8 at YCS Vancouver!
We’ve made it all the way to the top 16! These Duelists can see the finish line but the pressure only gets more intense from here. Only 4 wins away from that Championship title, both Mustapha Ghanem and David Flores are looking to take that next step toward victory!
Here on Day 2 of YCS Vancouver, we’re moving on to the Top 32! Jesse Kotton and Christian Urena are both seasoned Yu-Gi-Oh! veterans, each with multiple YCS victories under their belts, but only one of them will move on to the Top 16. Each of these players are playing Unchained, a powerful strategy that’s become extremely popular with new support released in Duelist Nexus.
We are here at the final Round of Swiss at YCS Vancouver! Both Duelists are 7-2 and the result of this Match will determine who makes it into the Top 32! Tayveon Crowley is from Knoxville, TN. Jack-Rory Steenkamer is from the Netherlands and just came back from Tokyo, Japan as a Yu-Gi-Oh! MASTER DUEL World Champion! Steenkamer is known in the online community by his MASTER DUEL username QuantalThink. Crowley is piloting Kashtira, a Deck that has been consistent throughout the tournament, while Steenkamer is running Rescue-ACE! Rescue-ACE is newer Deck that gained some awesome support in Duelist Nexus! The winner of this Match will lock in their spot in the Top 32 for this weekend.
A whole day of intense competition has already passed! Duelists have had time to relax, get some food and rest up, but for those still remaining in the Main Event, the job isn’t done just yet. Day 2 is here at YCS Vancouver and there are still 2 Swiss Rounds to be played before the cut to the Top 32. Competitors want to make sure they’re warmed up and game-ready.
The 2 Duelists in our first Feature Match today are no strangers to this stage; Pakawat “Pal” Pamornsut and David Bui are both veterans of Championship-level Dueling. But with 2 losses each, this Duel will decide who stays alive in the tournament, and who’s headed to Public Events for the afternoon. Still, both contenders were bringing all the enthusiasm and sportsmanship that had carried them this far!
It’s Round 8 at YCS Vancouver, and we have another exciting Feature Match with two players that are currently still undefeated. Ryan Yu’s playing Dragon Link, but the big surprise is Batuhan Senkesen with Blackwings! Can he remain undefeated going into Day 2? Or will Ryan’s Dragons clip Senkesen’s wings? Let’s find out!
It is Round 7 here at YCS Vancouver and both Duelists are 5-1. Tristan Bridges is from Vancouver, Washington, and is using a Purrely Deck this weekend. Matthew Vanden Huevel is from Toronto, Ontario, and is running Unchained! Both are powerful Decks and had strong showings last weekend in Brazil. Unchained is a Deck that only popped up recently, since Duelist Nexus was released, while Purrely has been consistently seeing success over the last few months in all sorts of tournaments.
