Hung around for a bit,and managed to trade that Mirror force for a Gemini elf and 10USD. (Nice trade wasn;'t it:)).Because of the amount of people,and the relativly small dueling area,they dividied the Prelims into 2 sets of duelists,by name.Sadly the name MARTIN came in the 2nd half and i found myself with nothing to do for 2 hours:( I finally got my Holo Summoned skull traded for a 1st Ed Mint Paladin of white dragon!( i payed 5USD for that skull months ago). So the prelims were over and 4 of my friends qualified for the 2nd round.Now it was my turn!.THe way the tourney was structured was basically ,for the prelims you have 2 hours to win as many duels as you can and then the people who advance,are chosen by that. I can't remember exactly how i got my 10 wins in the 2 hours peroid ,but i got it. Some were easy,and well some were just HARD. There was this one "Yu-GI-Oh" team present.They had about 5 representitives I belive. I managed to get the person that won the last competition a few months ago.Luckily I won:) I managed to qualify.Most of my wins were due to my Injection fairy lilly and yata Garasu. I remembr palying htis one guy and he made a dire mistake twice.He hda no cards in hand,and i had one monstor set.He then draws and plays darkhole!.Lo and behold i use my sangans effect and get my yata.He surrenders. Now it's on to round 2 with NO break imbetween.So i've been dueling for 2 hours non stop. In this one we have 1 hour to win as many duels as we can.I anticipated this to be alot harder,as well the more experienced players qualified.Luckily i managed way over 8 wins and secured my place in the top 8!.,having to duel the last winnner,AGAIN. It was now around 4pm and I was tired to say the least.I've been dueling since 12. The final 8 were ready. We were put on 2 tables,4 on each and paired with someone.This was a 30 minute challenge and we were not allowed to change tables.I got paired up against this really lame dude,can't remember his name,and i lost.(really bad mistakes on my part,the pressure was starting to show).I then got to duel the other guy again.YES the last champion.I got fedup of seeing him that day(no offence :P ) .Managed to win. This guy ran 3 kuriboh and 2 necrofears.DAMN those necrofears were irratating.I had him down to around 4500 LP,when i snatched stealed his necrofear,and atked him wtih my Gemini elf and it.Then i blew it up using my Ring of destruction next turn.The 2nd duel of that match was a blur,but i used my injection fairy lilly and won pretty fast. So I had one win.3 other people had 2. So it was myself and 4 others battling for ONE spot in the finals.Luckily because i won my 2nd duel so fast i qualified for the knockout.So i got the same lame guy that beat be last time.Delt with him in under 10 minutes and was on my way to the finals.Now the pressure was REALLY on.Outside of the dueling area was swamped with onlookers and members of my organization.Myself and Daniel(aka Chicken) made it to the finals,along with the last champion and his friend(also from the same organisation as the champion). We had made it this far,and that was good enough in my eyes.But i was determined to win. I got paired upaginst the last champion,AGAIN.Now i told myself if i lose this i'm walking out,not evening going to bother for 3rd or 4th.I was tired,hungry and irratable. I got a nice draw and proceeded to beat him 2-0. My friend got a bit of trouble with his opponent whowas running a yata deck.But he manged to beat him 2-1 i belive. Now it was down to the final 2! We started off the duel and wished eachother the best of luck.He manged to win the first game,and i shot back in the 2nd one.Now funny thing is in all tourneys like this it comes down to a 1-1 ,,doesn't it?:P1st n 2nd. Well in the final duel i almost had him yata locked,and was waiting on one card.But the brought out his Dark ruler Ha des and got rid of my last hope,my sangan!. Well i conceeded the game when i drew a jinzo,with nothing on the field and a yata in my hand.(he also had a La jinn on the field).. It was a really good day. Comming 2nd was a big shock for me,and because i was so happy i sold my friend my last peice of my 2nd exodia set for a whoppiong 27usd!(cheap istn' it,considdering ONE peice goes for nothing less than 40 where i live). The winner got a Gameboy Advance Sp,and wel i got a Dvd and a book i think... Props: Me comming 2nd My friend comming 1st! Me for gettinng a gemini elf,that literally caused me to reach this far,props to Adrien for trading me it!(how is my mirror force treatting you?)
