This is it! The winner of the 3rd Place Playoff will walk away with the coveted prize card, Anotherverse Gluttonia. They’re in good spirits despite both coming off a loss in the Top 4. Pamornsut was eager to add a Super Rare copy of Anotherverse Gluttonia to his collection to go with his Ultra Rare, but LeBlanc wants his first copy! This is the last Match of their tournament run this weekend. They shuffled up, and it was time to Duel, one more time!
Top 8 is about to commence, and we have 2 familiar faces squaring off in the Quarter-Finals: Justin Singh and Christopher LeBlanc are both familiar with the Top Cut spotlight, and have Dueled at the YCS level before. LeBlanc is pilotingPurrely, a Deck he’s been using since YCS Philadelphia, while Singh is on Tearlaments, powered up with the new Horus monsters from Age of Overlord. They’re ready to go, and it’s time to Duel!
We have another doozy of a Match here in Top 16, with another true titan of Dueling: Pakawat Pamornsut, a 2-time YCS Champion! He’s here in the Top Cut playing Sinful Spoils Infernoble, which we saw on Livestream yesterday. He’s facing Robert Doolittle, who’s in his first Top Cut, but is looking to make it his first YCS Championship win as well. It’s time to Duel!
Christopher LeBlanc is no stranger to Top Cut competition: he’s won 5 YCS events in his Dueling career so far! He’s here in the Top 32 competing with Purrely, hoping to capture his 6th Championship. He’s facing off against Evan Hornick, who’s made his first Top 32 this weekend playing Dinomorphia! We’re in the single elimination portion of the tournament, so it’s win or go home. It’s time to Duel!
Day 2’s kicking off here on Sunday morning, and Jerrod Dunn from Baltimore is playing Tearlaments, up against Elias Tsirogiannis from Queens, playing Kashtira! You read that right, Kashtira is still alive despite losing Kashtira Arise-Heart on the most recent Forbidden & Limited List. This classic match-up is happening right here at YCS Richmond!
Both Duelists are in great shape to make Top 32 with a win in this Match, while a loss will mean they’ll be dancing with danger. It’s time to Duel!
Nathaniel Jadotte from New York is currently 4-1 with an unexpected Deck today: Salamangreat! This strategy got some new support in Legendary Duelists: Soulburning Volcano, and it’s started to see more play. His opponent, Shawn Debrew from Washington D.C. is playing Mannadium, powered up with new cards from Age of Overlord, as well as some personal tech picks. It’ll be a fun Duel, but only one competitor can come out of this match with a 5-1 record.
Cameron Neal from Texas is facing off against Carl Gabriel from Maryland. Both Duelists have VIP status, so they both started with a 2-round bye. While Neal secured his VIP status by winning the Summer Ultimate Duelist Series tournament in Kansas City in 2018, and Gabriel won his local VIP Qualifier, which gives every Duelist a shot at being a VIP at the Yu-Gi-Oh! Championship Series.
Neal is piloting Unchained, while Gabriel’s on Bystial Dragon Link. These competitors are fresh and ready to go, so it’s time to Duel!
There’s a lot of cool stuff to see here at the 250th YCS in Los Angeles, but one display’s got everybody buzzing: the Quarter Century Secret Rares from the upcoming Legendary Collection: 25th Anniversary Edition.
