WCQ Malaysia Championship Tourney Report

WCQ Malaysia Championship had been organized on 29th and 30th of June. It was the first time WCQ Malaysia undergo swiss + single elimination for two days. On Saturday, around 90+ participants joined to fight for the remaining 34 seat for day 2. There will be 64 players for day 2 and 30 of them had been reserved by the seeded players. Therefore, the remaining 34 seats will be the target of day 1 participants.

Participants need 30 duelist points in order to join for day 1. Personally, I think this had increase the competitiveness of the game and decrease of rogue deck in play as 30 duelist points is not easy to earn (this will make the player take serious when choosing the deck to compete.)  However, those seeded players exempted to hand in the duelist points to join the tournament.

Now, lets start Day 1.
Day 1: Format (7-round Swiss)
Participants: 90+ ( 15+ are Singapore's player)
Deck used: Prophecy

Round 1: Quasar deck
Game 1: He get 1st and managed to spam his field with synchro (I oni get 1 veiler and cant stop his combos). I decided to surrender directly after his turn as I will be OTK-ed next turn. This also preventing him to know the deck I used.)
Game 2: I Judgement 1st turn, followed by batel, secret, master, tower and a set fate. SS Jowgen at Endphase(EP). Totally lockdown his deck.
