Brandon Aguilar and Ronaldo Sierra Rise to the Top at Central American World Championship Qualifier & Central American Dragon Duel World Championship Qualifier

Central_America_World_Championship_QualifierEl Segundo, Calif. (June 14, 2016) – Legions of lucky Yu-Gi-Oh! TRADING CARD GAME (TCG) players from Central America spent an exciting weekend Dueling in the Yu-Gi-Oh! Central American World Championship Qualifier (WCQ) and Yu-Gi-Oh! Central American Dragon Duel WCQ to earn the right to compete in the Yu-Gi-Oh! TCG World Championship this August in Orlando, Florida. TCG powerhouse Konami Digital Entertainment, Inc. (KONAMI) brought its premier-level event to the Hotel Misión Carlton Guadalajara, México for a weekend of head-to-head competition among veteran and novice players, but only two emerged victorious: Brandon Aguilar of the Main Event and Dragon Duel winner, Ronaldo Sierra.

Hailing from Pachuca, Mexico, Aguilar played smartly all the way to the Final Round, perfectly playing a Brilliant Monarch Deck, making Ricardo Ruiz from Oaxaca, Mexico match him card draw to card draw. Though Ruiz expertly used his best strategy with his Fire Kings Kozmo Deck, in the end, he could not compete with Aguilar’s playing ability.

Dragon Duel

The Central American Dragon Duel WCQ, an event for Duelists born in 2003 or later, was equally thrilling to watch as Monterrey, Mexico’s Ronaldo Sierra used his Domain Monarch Deck. He had the right combination of skill and strategy to oust Daniel Coronel from Guadalajara, Mexico, who played a Kozmo Deck in their head-to-head playoff final.
