After 12 Swiss Rounds and a cut to the Top 64, we have a winner!
Jeremy Mitchell wins the 2023 North America WCQ!
Jeremy Mitchell bested 3002 other Duelists to earn first place at the 2023 North America World Championship Qualifier with his Kashtira Deck! Jeremy will be representing North America at this year’s Yu-Gi-Oh! TRADING CARD GAME World Championship in Tokyo, Japan along with the second through fourth place finishers and Friday’s two World Qualifying Points finalists!
Good luck to North America’s team of six Duelists at this year’s World Championship!
Both Duelists are already going to compete in the World Championship in Tokyo, Japan on August 5th-6th, but their tournament isn’t over. They have one hard fought Duel left, to decide who is going to finish in Third Place at the North America World Championship Qualifier. It’s a Kashtira mirror match, which both Duelists are extremely familiar with. One final Duel to finish this tournament out. Who will win? Gerardo Varela or Enzo Fiallos Velasco? Let’s find out.
Yesterday, we saw the prizes given to all participating Duelists
in the Main Event of the North America World Championship Qualifier, which were
also given to the Dragon Duelists who are participating in their own Championship
as well. Here are what the final Duelists are battling for today!
Every Duelist in Top 64 will receive this Evenly Matched
Top Cut Game Mat, showcasing the art of one of the most powerful Trap Cards of
all time, and an extremely popular card this weekend.
All Top 64 Duelists receive this Game Mat
Each Duelist who finishes in the Quarter Finals or better receives an incredible trophy, featuring the Millennium Rod on a glowing stand, with the trophy becoming grander as the standing of the Duelist increases, the same goes for the Dragon Duelists, except theirs has the Dragon Duel logo on it!
Main Event Trophies Dragon Duelist Trophies
Here’s a closer look at the Trophy awarded to the eventual Champion, as well as the Super Rare copy of Anotherverse Dragon all Top 32 Duelists receive. As you can see, the detailing on the Millennium Rod in the globe at the top is immaculate, with each Trophy being colored as well with a baselight that is truly breathtaking!
Top 8 Duelists and above will also receive Booster Packs, Nintendo Switches, complete sets, and more! There are a ton of amazing prizes on the line, on top of the title of North America WCQ Champion.
Both of these Duelists are 7-1 with
uncommon Decks in the current field, but are doing extremely well. One of them
will be moving onto Day 2 with 24 points and an extremely good chance of making
Top 64, the other will have to fight for their tournament life at 7-2.
Nathaniel Christmas, hailing from Los Angeles, is here piloting quite a unique strategy for the tournament: HERO! Not only is he using a HERO Deck, but it’s also the highest rarity! Maxx Ward is from New Jersey, using Rikka Sunavalon!
