This was a Diamond Dude Turbo mirror match, but each duelist was bringing their own unique style to the table. |
|
|
|
|
After a devastating feature match loss yesterday, Jeff Baumgartner has recovered and made it all the way to the semifinals! |
|
|
|
|
No mirror matches here — this was Andrew’s Monarch build against Carlo’s Diamond Dude Turbo. |
|
|
|
|
Jeff’s certainly getting his share of attention at this weekend’s event — he’s come very close to Top 8’ing before but has never quite made it. |
|
|
|
|
Marc Glass is back after making Top 8 last month at Shonen Jump Championship Orlando! |
|
|
|
|
Marc Glass and Andrew Fredella both made Top 8, and we extend our heartiest congratulations. |
|
|
|
|
Only rarely do we get a winner, but this time we got two! |
|
|
|
|
Andrew Fredella of Team Nexus is the first ever competitor to win twice. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
Fredella is a repeat Top 8 competitor and a one-time Shonen Jump Champion, and now he’s one match away from taking yet another Day 2 qualification. |
|
|
|
|
Both of these widely-recognized duelists are on the bubble in round 8. |
|
|
|
|
This is going to be a pretty big event, it looks like. |
|
|
|
|
Like everything involving Jeff Jones, this is going to be interesting. |
|

|
|
Sixteen year-old Jeff Baumgartner is from Chicago, and he’s sitting at table 1 undefeated here today with an innovative Ratbox variant. |
|
|
|
|
Welcome everyone, to yet another Scrub Brush Challenge! |
|
|
|
|
The entire attending group of Team Outphase is almost undefeated here today and they’re all running variations on a basic theme that we’ve seen before. |
|
|
|
|
Aside from his feature match earlier today, Chris Evans is undefeated with Diamond Dude Turbo. |
|
|
|
|
Neither of these duelists needs an introduction. |
|
|
|
|
Joe Hletko is a returning Top 8 competitor, who made Day 2 last year at Gen Con Indianapolis. |
|
|
|
|
Chris Evans took third place last month in Orlando, and, with one win under his belt, he may be on his way to another Day 2 qualification. |

After winning Shonen Jump Championship Orlando, Team Nexus’ Paul Lyn is back! |
