Yaaaaaan! From not getting drafted in the lottery and being stuck in the walk-in registrations, I honestly thought my tournament run was over before it even started. But somehow, things worked out and I ended up finishing Top 9th-16th out of 240 players in one of the most exhausting, intense, and spectacular Yu-Gi-Oh! World Championship 2026 Asia Qualifiers.
Huge thanks to the tournament organizers for making the event happen smoothly despite the massive turnout, and to the judges for keeping everything fair and competitive throughout the entire day.
To all the players I faced, thank you for the amazing matches, tough decisions, mind games, and unforgettable duels. Win or lose, every round was a learning experience and a reminder of why I love this game.
But most especially, thank you to my friends. The support, encouragement, testing sessions, laughs, food trips, and nonstop hype made this experience even more memorable.
Congratulations to Team Flex City! Bring World Championship to PH!
Competitive Yu-Gi-Oh can be mentally and physically draining, but having the right people around makes all the difference. Still tired. Still processing everything. But definitely grateful.
See you all at the next tournament.
