The first match was a breeze because this kid ran monsters like big eye and used them face up. 1st match with my wall of illusion, la jinn and Dark elf kid was wiped out 6000 lp (lost 2000 due to Dark elf) vs 0 2nd match was exactly the same my seven colored fishes and la jinn's just wiped this kid out. 8000lp vs 0 Time used 10 min or less. Felt bad for the kid so I gave him 3 harpies brother for free and to make his deck better 2nd duel me vs Johnathan 1st match Another easy win because this kid astounded me at first when he got a ryu kishin powered with a dark energy but with a fissure he put couldn't put up a fight. My La jinn's and fishes just destroyed him. 8000lp vs 0 2nd match kid was quite amazing he put down a cocoon of evolution face up defense mode, when I corrected him he yelled at me, so I let him do what he wanted. Another fissure bye bye cocoon and pummeled him with La Jinn with an axe of despair. At about 2000lp, he set a hane hane face down defense mode but my man eater destroyed it. I killed him with a wall of illusion and a la jinn. 8000lp vs 0 time use 10 or less Got a bye in my next duel My friend had to face the regional champion so I picked up some pointers. Regional champ wins vs my friend Semi Finals Me vs Regional Champ Dan Very hard matches. !st match I got very good cards like la jinn out and summoned skull before he did so I just mauled his life points away. Lifepoints I forgot vs 0 2nd match this was a classic match. He matched me move for move and when I thought I got him he pulled out something. He was a 1400 lp and I had a La jinn out but He grabs a fissure kills my la jinn sets trap holes and I just got mauled. 0 vs 1400 3rd match Heart of the Cards match we countered each others moves constantly both of us got great cards out but when I got a La jinn out with a mega morph (my life points 4000 vs 8000) he couldn't do anything, then I placed my wall of illusion into attack mode and hit him. He was at 3400 and used a snatch steal on my wall. He placed swords on the field so I waited three turns. During these three turns I used a raigeki to get rid of his monsters and placed a La jinn onto the field. On the last swords turn he placed a maneater down. I drew change of heart so I sacrificed my mega morph La jinn and brought out a Summoned skull and change of heart his maneater and attacked with my La jinn and Summoned Skull 4000 vs 0 time used 45 min Finals Me vs some good kid 1st match I won with my La jinn and Dark elf, he tried to use his relinquish but to no avail I just mauled all his defensive creatures Can't remember vs 0 2nd match was boring. He countered my moves with his own and I did like wise but in the end the raigeki determined my fate to lose 0 vs 3000 I believe Final match Only key thing I remember was he threw down a raigeki and I didn't remember to use my magic jammer to counter it. That move gave him the win again. I placed 2nd but I was very happy to meet Dan. I also got 3 tournament packs from Season 1 and got a mechanical chaser. Edward Kyi Edkyi1014@hotmail.com
