El Segundo, Calif. (June 1, 2018) – Five years after YCS Meadowlands the Yu-Gi-Oh! Championship Series (YCS) is headed back to New Jersey! Konami Digital Entertainment, Inc. (KONAMI) is kicking off a new era of competition in the Yu-Gi-Oh! TRADING CARD GAME (TCG). With a new Advanced Format and the Championship debut of Flames of Destruction, YCS Secaucus, NJ will set the pace for the World Championship Qualifier (WCQ) season.
Hundreds of Duelists are expected at the Meadowlands Exposition Center for the final YCS in the run-up to the World Championship Qualifiers (WCQs), YCS Secaucus. With Pendulum Magicians and True Dracos taking big hits from the recently-updated Forbidden & Limited List, the field is clear for tested strategies like Mekk-Knights, Invoked, Trickstars, SPYRAL and more, while new themes from Flames of Destruction are ready to explode into competition. Will Altergeists reign supreme? How many Duelists will call on the Knightmares, and what Decks will those flexible Link Monsters appear in? The questions are already flying thick and fast, and we won’t know the answers until Sunday afternoon when one Duelist is left standing.
The title of Champion and the prestige of a YCS Secaucus win will fuel fierce competition and incredible innovation over the course of the weekend. But competitors will also have a chance to win a stunning spread of prizes, led by the YCS Prize Card Number 89: Diablosis the Mind Hacker! The winner of YCS Secaucus will be the last person to take home an exclusive Ultra Rare copy, while 2nd and 3rd place finishers will earn Super Rares.
The winner of the YCS Secaucus main event will be awarded paid travel and accommodations to their 2018 World Championship Qualifier, where they’ll have all the perks of VIP Duelist status. Both Finalists win exclusive YCS-branded premium Messenger Bags, and the complete Top 8 will claim high-end PlayStation®4 gaming systems for their efforts. Each Duelist who survives the Swiss rounds and ascends to the Top 32 will receive a YCS Top Cut Game Mat featuring Number 89: Diablosis the Mind Hacker available only to YCS Top Cut finishes, plus World Qualifying Points, Ultimate Duelist Series Points, and invites to their WCQs.
