El Segundo, CA (February 7, 2012) – Hundreds of Duelists from Mexico and surrounding Latin American countries gathered at the Expo Guadalajara this past weekend with high expectations of winning it all during the Yu-Gi-Oh!

During the two-day event, the Expo Guadalajara was teeming with pumped up Yu-Gi-Oh!

Valle brought his powerful Dino Rabbit Deck to the table as Zavala showcased his potent Six Samurai Deck. Both competitors played masterfully, each displaying a solid knowledge and passion for the game but at the end of the Final Round it was Zavala who was able to celebrate the win and be named YCS Champion. He won an Ultra Rare Blood Mefist YCS Prize Card, and invitation to the World Championship Qualifier – Continental of his region and more fabulous prizes.
