Joe is just a little kid who is new to the game, so he stood no chance against an expert. (Me) 8000 - 6600 (Him) 8000 - 6900 - 4400 - 1100 - 0 Duel 2 Once again, it was a masacre. He didn't even have any monsters to defend with. And I knew his face down trap was something crappy like Robbin Goblin. He lost in like three turns or so. (Me) 8000 (Him) 8000 - 6200 - 3700 - 1300 - 0 2-0 Round 2 Me Vs Dylan (Beatdown Deck) Duel 1 Simple duel for me. I used Change of Heart on his Summoned Skull and basically won from there. (Me) 8000 (Him) 8000 - 5500 - 700 - 0 Duel 2 Now this one was tough, he drew all the staples while I had to go in the defense. He got lucky and won. (Me) 8000 - 6200 - 4900 - 2900 - 500 - 0 (Him) 8000 - 7500 Duel 3 This one was much closer of a duel. We were both going pretty even till he brought out Jinzo and won. (Me) 8000 - 7200 - 5900 - 3500 - 0 (Him) 8000 - 4300 - 4200 - 3400 3-2 Round 3 Me Vs Curt Duel 1 Haha, he is basically at the same level as Joe. His 100 card sized deck stood no chance. (Me) 8000 (Him) 8000 - 5500 - 3000 - 1100 - 0 Duel 2 He left an open field!!! I won with using Mage Power and United We Stand, those are some great one turn winners. (Me) 8000 (Him) 8000 - 6000 - 4100 - 1600 - 0 5-2 Round 4 Me Vs Derek akaSlick (Beatdown Deck) Duel 1 This was a terrible duel. He must of ate some Lucky Charms before he ran his usual mile before every tournament. Anyways, I stood no chance this duel. He managed to Snatch Steal my Jinzo and I was gone. (Me) 8000 - 6200 - 5750 - 3950 - 3500 - 100 - 0 (Him) 8000 - 5700 - 4700 Duel 2 Now this is what I like, he was forced to go on the defense and I won from there. (Me) 8000 - 6100 - 3600 (Him) 8000 - 3100 - 1300 - 500 - 0 Duel 3 I love Snatch Steal, It is always a game winner as it was for this duel. (Me) 8000 - 5200 - 4400 (Him) 8000 - 4300 - 400 - 1400 - 0 7-3 With 7 wins and 3 loses as my record I made it to the final 8. It is now time for single elimination. Round 5 Me Vs Nathanial (Beatdown Deck) Duel 1 Boy is Nathanial one heck of a slow player. It takes him like 10 minutes for 1 move. Anyways, he makes some dumb moves which caused him the lose. (Me) 8000 - 7500 - 7000 - 6500 - 5400 - 6400 - 4600 - 2100 - 3100 (Him) 8000 - 5700 - 3400 - 900 - 0 Duel 2 I can't believe he still plays with La Jinns and Harpies Brothers, those cards are outdated. As for the duel, this was a close one, but Cyber Jar was flipped and he got no monsters and I got a Goblin and won. (Me) 8000 - 5600 - 2200 - 3200 - 2100 - 1500 (Him) 8000 - 6200 - 5500 - 5000 - 2950 - 2650 - 1850 - 925 - 0 9-3 Semi Finals: Round 6 Me Vs Derek akaRich Boy (Beatdown Deck) Duel 1 Oh how much Skull Lair pisses me off. He kept using it and wiping out my 4-star monsters, but still I managed to win this duel with my Goblins. (Me) 8000 - 6200 (Him) 8000 - 7400 - 5000 - 3200 - 2400 - 0 Duel 2 This duel was just an upset. He got out his Geminis and Jinzo with me having an empty field and he won. I did get close though. (Me) 8000 - 2600 - 1100 (Him) 8000 - 5700 - 5400 - 4700 - 2500 - 1800 - 700 Duel 3 Wow, a three turn victory for me. He had his Jinzo in his Graveyard and I Monster Reborned it Summoned some more monsters, used a little Change of Heart, then the major damage was with Mage Power and United We Stand. He had 450 left and Man Eater Bug finished him off. (Me) 8000 (Him) 8000 -3300 - 900 - 450 - 0 11-4 Finals: Round 7 Me Vs Abel (Beatdown Deck) Duel 1 Abel is such an annoying duelist. He talks like he's the best, but I prooved him wrong and won this duel. (Me) 8000 -7200 - 7100 - 6200 (Him) 8000 - 5600 - 4500 - 3800 - 500 - 0 Duel 2 Lets just say, he got lucky. He terminated me this round because of Imperial Order. (Me) 8000 - 7900 - 6100 - 5200 - 4400 - 4200 - 3000 - 0 (Him) 8000 Duel 3 This was just like my thrid duel with Derek. United We Stand won me this duel very fast. (Me) 8000 - 5600 (Him) 8000 - 5700 - 5000 - 0 13-5 I GOT 1ST PLACE! I opened my box right there.
