El Segundo, CA (April 5, 2012) – The Centro de Convenciones Atlantic City in Lima, Peru was teeming with hundreds of avid Yu-Gi-Oh!

Both novice and veteran Yu-Gi-Oh! TCG players, eyeing the big prize, put their fine-tuned Decks and honed strategies to the ultimate test during each round. During Sunday’s Preliminary Rounds, the pairings got more intense as the Yu-Gi-Oh! tug-of-war continued and the showdown was within sight.   By the end of the day it came down to a nail-biter with Delgado, age 26, from Lima, Dueling it out against 24-year-old Jorge Garcia from Guayaquil, Ecuador at the Final Round table, battling for the title of Champion.

As Garcia began to lose his footing, Delgado took advantage and claimed the win and title of 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.

Additionally, on Saturday, the Dragon Duel (for Duelists born 1999 or later) Mijail Flores capably out-maneuvered his Yu-Gi-Oh!
