          KONAMI DIGITAL ENTERTAINMENT TO HOLD PRESTIGIOUS Yu-Gi-Oh! CHAMPIONSHIP SERIES

IN SANTIAGO, CHILE FEBRUARY 23^rd – 24^th

Younger Players Can Compete in Dragon Duel

El Segundo, CA (February 20, 2013) – The first international Yu-Gi-Oh! CHAMPIONSHIP SERIES (YCS) of 2013 has Duelists from Chile and surrounding South American countries fortifying their Yu-Gi-Oh! TRADING CARD GAME (TCG) Decks in preparation for Duel upon Duel at the premier-level   Yu-Gi-Oh! TRADING CARD GAME (TCG) event from Konami Digital Entertainment, Inc. (Konami). Hundreds of players, traveling from far and wide, are expected to compete at the YCS Santiago, Chile February 23^rd – 24^th.

The Main Event, the cornerstone of this two-day competition, pits Duelists in head-to head battles that are sure to be nothing less than nail biting. Saturday’s early rounds will give players an opportunity to tweak and hone their strategies before the games really heat up on Sunday.  The Final Round will showcase the best two Duelists, each playing for the chance to hoist the YCS Santiago Champion Trophy.

Pre-registration for YCS Santiago will run from 3:00 p.m. – 7:00 p.m. on Friday, February 22^nd. Players that pre-register and submit a Deck list will receive an event-exclusive YCS Token Card! Registration will begin again promptly at 8:00 a.m. on Saturday, February 23^rd.  Upon registering, Duelists will receive three Cosmo Blazer booster packs for participating in Konami’s YCS Santiago.  Round One will start at 10:00 a.m. and the Top 16 or 32 YCS finishers (depending on attendance) will earn invitations to participate in the 2013 World Championship Qualifier – Continental, of their region.

In addition, Konami will once again hold a Dragon Duel for the younger set (for Duelists born 2000 or later).  The top four finishers in the Dragon Duel events will receive a special Dragon Duel Champion’s Medal, a 2013 Regional Game Mat, a Regional Deck Box, and an invitation to their regions’ 2013 Dragon Duel World Championship Qualifier – Continental, where they can earn an invitation to the inaugural Dragon Duel World Championship to be played at the Yu-Gi-Oh! World Championship in August.
