Alex Bayless Vs. Steven Arias:
Alex Bayless takes game one with sheer card advantage, ending the game with four facedown spell/traps, a Jinzo, and a Tribe Infecting Virus dealing 4000 damage – exactly what he needed to reduce Steven to zero.
Steven Arias took game two after a key Fiber Jar resolution, ruining a near-perfect hand for Alex Bayless. Steven then clinched the game with a Yata attacking alongside a D.D. Warrior Lady against a handless Alex.
Game three was tight as both players wore each other’s hands and Life Points down to the bone before Alex used Fiber Jar to recover from a hand situation that wasn’t bad, but wasn’t to his liking for a game three position. Off the successive draw Steven took some early hand advantage with a pot of Greed. Both players developed strong set ups but a Scapegoat cleverly chained in response to a Feather Duster and a Graceful Charity gave Steven key control over his hand contents. A Magical Scientist summoning a Ryu Senshi gave Steven the chance to summon a Dark Magician of Chaos, but it was quickly laid low by a Torrential Tribute. The damage was done however, as Steven used the Magician’s effect to bring back Premature Burial and bring back an Airknight Parshath to the field. Alex blew it sky-high with Ring of Destruction, and summoned Breaker the Magical Warrior, which was then Ringed by Steven. Steven then made the final play of the game, attacking with a freshly-summoned D. D. Warrior Lady for game. The final score? 200 to 0.
Theerasak Poonsombat Vs. Robert Cyncewicz:
Game one went to Theerasak Poonsombat, who controlled the game from the beginning with an Airknight Parshath – Poonsombat didn’t lose a single Life Point.
Game two began with Theerasak using a Kycoo to remove Robert’s light monsters every time one hit the Graveyard, preventing Robert from summoning key Chaos monsters. The duel then came to a near stand still for four turns with both players exhausted in hand count and field presence. With six minutes left in the match Theerasak got out a Chaos Emperor Dragon, activated its effect, and asked Robert if he had a response. Upon hearing that Robert had no response, Theerasak activated Ring of Destruction on the Dragon, thereby bringing himself down to 500, but bringing Robert into the negatives.
Sang Bui Vs. Chris :
Sang locked in his first win with a first turn Confiscation to strip Chris of his lone Mystical Space Typhoon, sending the clear message that he had a Trap he wanted to protect. He then locked Chris down with Imperial Order, and cleared the field with a D.D. Warrior Lady. Sang proceeded to take game one with a Berserk Gorilla and a Witch of the Black Forest.
Chris opened the game strong with a Pot of Greed, and set an Apprentice Magician. Sang responded with a first-turn Confiscation and that set the tempo for the rest of the duel, before leaning on the Magician with a Berserk Gorilla. Chris used the Magician’s effect to bring a Magician of Faith to the field. Sang however Raigekid the Magician of Faith, and from that point onward kept the pressure on with strong high-attack monsters. A series of monster-deficient draws sealed the duel in Sang’s favor, but both duelists had a great time playing eachother: they both play at the same store. Sang moves on.
Charles Vs. Ros:
Game one went to Charles, playing a Chaos deck with an aggressive emphasis on Yata. Charles spent most of game one struggling to try and lock down Ros, who was defending himself adequately time and again with Scapegoats and locking down the field himself with Metamorphosis-summoned Thousand-Eyes Restricts. The game was mostly a stand off, with each player matching the other move for move in interesting defensive ways. In the end the duel went to Charles who dropped a Chaos Emperor Dragon to the field.
Game two was very similar to game one, with both players attempting to lock the other down with Yata or Thousand-Eyes Restrict. Ros’s Scapegoats again kept him clear of Charles’ efforts to Yata lock him, but in the end it was still Charles who recovered best from the mutual over-extensions and took the win over Ros.
