Pojo's Yu-Gi-Oh News
A NEW NORTH AMERICAN Yu-Gi-Oh! TRADING CARD GAME CHAMPION
WILL EMERGE IN COLUMBUS, OHIO
El
Segundo, CA (June 28, 2012)
– After months of qualifying play, it will come down to the
weekend of June 29 - July 1 for one Duelist to walk away
with the title of Yu-Gi-Oh! TRADING CARD GAME (TCG) North
American Champion at the North American World Championship
Qualifier (WCQ). Hosted by Konami Digital Entertainment,
Inc. (Konami), this invite-only tournament is expected to
draw well over one thousand enthusiastic Duelists
from across the United States and Canada to the Greater
Columbus Convention Center. The winner will earn the right
to represent the region at the Yu-Gi-Oh! TCG World
Championship in Tokyo, Japan August 11 – 12.
The weekend will be filled with a ton of Dueling as players
who have not yet earned an invite can play in Last Chance
Qualifying events on Friday, June 29. In the Main Event WCQ,
starting on Saturday June 30, the preeminent Duelists in
North America will be playing intense head-to-head Duels,
mindful that one misplay can eliminate them from the top
prize. Duelists that display the most skill will make
it to the second day of WCQ Single-Elimination Rounds on
Sunday. Ultimately every Duelist hopes to make it to the
Final Round table for the opportunity to play, and to win
the coveted title of North American Yu-Gi-Oh! TCG Champion.
Konami is proud to also host, for the first time ever, the
North American Dragon Duel Championship, open to Duelists
born 1999 or later to be held during the North American WCQ.
The winning Dragon Duelist and runner-up will also win a
trip to Tokyo to play against the top Dragon Duelists around
the world in the inaugural Dragon Duel World Championship.
Additionally, Duelists can participate in a wide variety of
fun and challenging Public Events to push their Dueling
skills to the limit! Konami will be conducting a host of
events such as Regional Qualifiers, 3 vs. 3 Team Dueling,
ATTACK OF THE GIANT CARD!!, Win-A-Mats, Classic Drafts,
Retro Drafts, and the newest Sealed Pack Tournaments for
Battle Pack: Epic Dawn featuring exclusive Starfoil
prize cards only available at premier events.
And this year, attendees can create their own exclusive
one-of-a-kind
Yu-Gi-Oh! Token Card through the use of green screen
technology. They can choose from five different card
backgrounds with characters, including favorites like Yusei
Fudo, Kaiba Seto and Yuma
Tsukumo,
to create their own personalized Token Card – suitable for
use during Duels! Duelists can also create their own
COSSY ID card needed for tournament play.
In addition, Konami is bringing a special treat for
attendees, in what is sure to be an autograph seekers’ dream
come true! Greg Abbey the voice actor of Yusei Fudo from Yu-Gi-Oh!
5D’s and Tristan Taylor from the original Yu-Gi-Oh! series
will be lending his autographs to fans’ Stardust Dragon
cards throughout the event. Also for the first time
ever at a Yu-Gi-Oh! event, Eric Stuart the voice actor of
Seto Kaiba (original Yu-Gi-Oh! series) will also be signing
autographs. Rounding out the star studded cast of fan
favorites, Wayne Grayson who voiced Joey Wheeler (Classic
Yu-Gi-Oh!) and Syrus Truesdale (GX) will be on hand to meet
his fans and sign their Yu-Gi-Oh! cards.
