Bryan Coronel made it to the semifinals of Shonen Jump Championship New Jersey, and also made the Top 4 of Nationals 2005. Justin Gillison is a member of Team Scoop, and without a previous Shonen Jump Championship Top 8 under his belt, he was definitely the underdog in this matchup. |

Albert Wu is running a highly innovative Cyber Dragon/Cyber-Stein OTK deck. He was up against Metagame.com’s own Julia Hedberg, who was running an aggressive Beatdown deck flavored with Skill Drain. |
