Konami Digital Entertainment, Inc. was thrilled to announce the long-awaited return of in-person events for the Yu-Gi-Oh! Championship Series (YCS), starting in Charlotte, North Carolina next month.

Taking place April 9-10, 2022, YCS Charlotte, NC 2022 will be first event of its kind in over two years, with the last in-person YCS being held in February 2020.

Yu-Gi-Oh! TRADING CARD GAME (TCG) Duelists will be heading to the Charlotte Convention Center to compete with the winner picking up an Ultra Rare Duel Link Dragon, the Duel Dragon card and a very special YCS Champion trophy.

Outside of the main tournament, there’ll be plenty of things for attendees to enjoy over the course of the weekend, including popular public events such as Win-A-Mat tournaments and ATTACK OF THE GIANT CARD!!
