PROVIDENCE, RHODE ISLAND WELCOMES Yu-Gi-Oh! CHAMPIONSHIP SERIES TO THE NEW ENGLAND AREA

Final YCS Before The World Championship Qualifier

EL SEGUNDO, CA (June 10, 2011) – Duelists around New England have been preparing for weeks in anticipation of playing in the Yu-Gi-Oh! CHAMPIONSHIP SERIES (YCS) when it comes to the Rhode Island Convention Center June 18^th – 19^th.  This premier-level Yu-Gi-Oh! TRADING CARD GAME (TCG) event from Konami Digital Entertainment (Konami) will be the last YCS leading up to July’s 2011 Yu-Gi-Oh! North American World Championship Qualifier.

Experienced Duelists and budding hopefuls alike are expected to make the trip to Providence where attendance could easily reach in excess of 1,000 contestants. Duelists will be hoping that their careful preparation, Deck choices and well thought-out strategies are the perfect combination to advance them to the Final Round on Sunday for a chance to Duel for the title of Champion.

Pre-registration for YCS Providence will run from 3:00 p.m. – 7:00 p.m. June 17^th and resume promptly at 8:00 a.m. on Saturday, June 18^th. Round One will begin at 10:00 a.m.  The Top 16 YCS finishers, along with the top Duelists of the weekend’s Regional Qualifiers, earn invitations to participate in their respective 2011 World Championship Qualifier events, to be held in July.  Duelists, upon paying their registration fee, will receive five Extreme Victory booster packs just for participating in Konami’s Yu-Gi-Oh! Championship Series.
