COURTNEY WALLER COLLECTS THE TROPHY AT THE FINAL Yu-Gi-Oh! CHAMPIONSHIP SERIES OF 2011

El Segundo, CA (November 22, 2011) – With visions of winning it all, hundreds of optimistic Duelists came to Kansas City, Missouri this past weekend pursuing champion-size dreams at the final Yu-Gi-Oh! CHAMPIONSHIP SERIES (YCS) of 2011.  Ultimately it was Courtney Waller from Norfolk, Virginia that made his dream come true as he was crowned Champion at the premier-level Yu-Gi-Oh! TRADING CARD GAME (TCG) event, hosted by Konami Digital Entertainment, Inc. (Konami).

With a packed playing field of nearly 650 participants, Saturday morning saw anxious Duelists from across the country awaiting the start of the First Round. It was anyone’s game to win, and confidence levels in the building were high. After Saturday’s Preliminary Rounds dashed the hopes of some, 24-year-old Waller was still confident that he would reach Sunday’s Final Round. That attitude combined with smart and strategic play, earned Waller a spot at the Final Round table. Pitted against a coolheaded 19-year-old Chris Biswell from Lenexa, Kansas the stakes were high as the crowd converged to watch the two Duelists battle it out for the ultimate win.

Relying on his Chaos Deck, Waller’s skills proved to be too much for Biswell and his Synchro-heavy Deck. In addition to the title of Champion, Waller earned an amazing set of prizes that included an Ultra Rare YCS Blood Mefist Prize Card, an exclusive YCS Game Mat, an invitation to the 2012 World Championship Qualifier tournament and much more!
