Almost three years ago to the day, Las Vegas hosted the last TEAM YCS. In the end, the team of Dominic Couch, Stephen Silverman, and Scott Page emerged victorious as YCS Champions! It’s been a long wait to return to the city that never sleeps – it’s time to crown some new YCS Champions!
The Las Vegas Convention Center – soon to be host of three new YCS Champions
We’re hot off the heels of another TEAM YCS last weekend in Mexico City, but make no mistake – this event is going to stand out. TEAM YCS Mexico City was the first event to use cards from Photon Hypernova, and Duelists will have another week of experience with the new cards.
Even bigger is the Forbidden & Limited List just taking
effect this week, which had massive changes that will surely shake up the meta.
Tearlaments, Sprights, and Floowandereeze all saw changes from the F&L
List, but they’re still Decks to watch out for. Besides those, there’s a lot of
hype around Kashtira, Labrynth, Branded, Runick, Dark World, and more.
Round 1 is about to kick off, with 385 teams! It’s time to Duel!
The new Advanced Format has arrived, and this weekend we’ll get our first taste of Championship Dueling under the new Forbidden & Limited List!
Over 500 Duelists are logging into Discord today to compete in the final Yu-Gi-Oh! Championship Series tournament of 2022, played virtually by competitors from all across North America and beyond. Some of the world’s most celebrated Duelists will throw down from the comfort of their own homes, flexing their latest innovations and newest tech picks in a bid to capture the title – the final Championship opportunity of the year.
California is Yu-Gi-Oh! country, and today, Championship Dueling returns to the Golden State!
In 2018 an impressive 1411 Duelists gathered here to compete for their shot at Championship gold, in the first-ever Yu-Gi-Oh! Championship Series in Pasadena. It was a hotly competitive event, but in the end Shunping Xu soared over the field and claimed victory with Sky Strikers. One year later in 2019, even more Duelists came to Pasadena to test their mettle: 1607 competitors took their shot at the title, and Kobe Short came out on top with another win for Sky Strikers.
Canada! Welcome back, to the Yu-Gi-Oh! Championship Series!
It’s been three long years since Duelists last gathered here, at the Niagara Falls Convention Center, to compete for Prize Cards, respect, and the title of Champion. That weekend we saw a Top 4 that featured Salamangreat, Sky Striker, and Lunalight Orcust, three of the biggest Decks of the 2018-2019 season, an era some Duelists now fondly call the “Eternal Format”. But in the end, none of those standby strategies took home title gold: instead, we’d see David Mendoza one-punch his ticket straight to the winner’s circle, piloting a deadly and explosive build of Danger Gren Maju!
1238 Duelists have gathered here at the Connecticut Convention Center to compete for the honor of becoming the next Yu-Gi-Oh! Championship Series (YCS) Champion!
1578 Duelists have gathered in the Pasadena Convention Center for North America’s first YCS under the October 14th, 2019 Advanced Format Forbidden & Limited List. Duelists’ recent experiences at YCS Lima and Regional Qualifier events will shape the way they approach this weekend’s tournament and have helped them decide which strategies are the most effective. We’ll be bringing you written coverage throughout the event right here on Konami’s Yu-Gi-Oh! TRADING CARD GAME coverage blog, and you can follow the action LIVE on stream on YouTube, where there will be live Feature Matches and commentary throughout the weekend!
Welcome to Guadalajara, Jalisco, Mexico! We’re just one week removed from YCS’s in Niagara Falls, Canada and Ghent, Belgium where Danger! Lunalight Orcust made the finals of both tournaments, with the Deck taking the win in Ghent while taking second place in Niagara Falls. With such a strong showing last weekend we’re sure to see the Deck in bigger numbers this weekend!
