Jake Quinsee has once again traveled from the United Kingdom, competing in another North American YCS! Quinsee’s on Ishizu Tearlaments, teched with Diviner of the Herald and Herald of Orange Light. But his opponent is Johnny Nguyen, also known as YouTube creator aznpersuasion2008, piloting a Runick build that’s been taking down Ishizu Decks all day long! Both of these Duelists are undefeated with a single tie, sitting at Table 10, so this could be a tight Match.

Let’s see how it goes.

This round we’ll check out a Match between two Californian Duelists: former SoCal resident and fan-favorite Ed Acepcion, versus a newer NorCal Duelist, Daniel Hoang Tran. Both of these competitors are running Ishizu Tearlaments, and both are using some of their flex spots for Diviner of the Herald, giving them a fast way to set their strategy into motion. With both players rushing to the finish line, this one might be all about who explodes first.

We have Chris LeBlanc from the Boston area, returning after his win at YCS Minneapolis and using his Tearlaments Spright Deck, featuring the all-new Ishizu Fairy Monsters from Magnificent Mavens. He’s facing off against Anthony Rovero from Tuscan, Arizona, who’s chosen to pilot Exosisters today. Exosisters is a solid choice given its ability to disrupt Tearlaments reliance on the graveyard.

Dakota Angeloff from Tuscaloosa, Alabama and Marcus Hayden from Chicago, Illinois both lost their Top 4 Match, but the journey isn’t over for either of them quite yet. Now, they’re facing off in a Match that will determine which Duelist takes third place and will bring home a Super Rare copy of the Anotherverse Dragon Prize Card. It’s Tearlaments against Spright for one last time this weekend. It’s time to Duel!

Michael Tamez from Houston, Texas is the last remaining Floowandereeze Duelist in the tournament. Now, he’s facing off against World Championship Competitor and YCS Champion Dakota Angeloff from Tuscaloosa, Alabama who’s using a Tearlaments Deck. Tamez’s Deck is teched out for him to go second and have the advantage against Tearlaments Decks, but will it be enough? It’s time to Duel!

Only eight Duelists remain! We’ve got Marcus Hayden, from Chicago, IL; the last remaining Runick Duelist! Six years ago, he won the last YCS Minneapolis! He’s looking for a repeat performance today, but it won’t be easy. He’s facing Denis Nadas, from Albuquerque, NM, using a Bystial Tearlaments Deck. He’s proven to be a force to be reckoned with, with multiple YCS top cut appearances of his own.

Clifton Land from Louisville, Kentucky had a 9-2 record at the end of the Swiss Rounds with his Bystial Dragon Link Deck. Dragon Link Decks took a big hit in the most recent Forbidden & Limited List when Chaos Ruler, the Chaotic Magical Dragon and Fairy Tail – Snow were Forbidden, but that didn’t discourage Land from using it this weekend! Now he’s facing off against World Championship Competitor Ryan Levine from Arlington, Virginia, who had a 10-1 record at the end of the Swiss Rounds. Levine is using a Spright Deck featuring a bunch of Bystial monsters and three copies of Kashtira Fenrir from Darkwing Blast. One of these Duelists will advance to the Top 8, and the other will be eliminated. It’s time to Duel!

Welcome to the Top 32! We’ve got Jason Zimmerman, from New York, piloting one of the few Floowandereeze Decks to make it into the top cut. He’s up against Cameron Neal, from Dallas, TX, playing the new Deck-to-beat: Tearlaments Bystial.
