Yu-Gi-Oh Regionals (The Duelist Genesis Season) 11/8/08

[motsuji]

51 players showed up for the Regionals for The Duelist Genesis Season. The number was very disappointing due to a number of the Outer Island people not being able to play, probably due to the tough economic conditions.

Round 1 is underway.

Can you say Tele-DAD? The deck dominated the Top 8 with only Albert running a Thunder King Rai-Oh Deck.

The Semi-Final matchups saw Dexter facing Wade and Chris playing Anthony.

Wade just defeated Dexter to make it to the finals.

It's Chris versus Wade in the finals. This is Wade's first finals. He is facing tough opposition in the mirror match as Chris goes for back to back Regionals wins.

It is an uphill battle as Wade just lost game 1.

Wade just took game 2 as Chris ran into a Magic Cylinder with only 150 life points. They are just starting game 3.

Well it's over and Chris Ventura won in Game 3 in a crazy turn which you will be able to see on video soon.
