I met Jesse yesterday. He's so chill. Took a photo and had him sign my Yubel

[@TheDBGrinder]

i need him to sign my cannon solider

[@Azkadaz]

With this being his 6th YCS win, does that make Jesse the most decorated duelist of all time? I think when people talk about dueling legends, we talk about the Big Three: Patrick Hoban, Jeff Jones, Billy Brake. I think Jesse deserves to be cemented on that Mount Rushmore as well

[@nicholascantisano3366]

He’s been cemented for the past few years as a legend in this game, but there is still two more things he needs to do: win a South American YCS, and win worlds.

[@Xana17]

The commenter who interviewed him mentioned only one other person with 6 YCS wins. Jesse just needs one more to have the most. Plus a worlds win would be nice

[@Azkadaz]

@@Xana17 I guess he is tied with Chris Leblanc for YCS wins, but I think Jesse has the UDS and UUDS titles under his belt too

[@ScorchYGO]

Jesse, Josh and Galileo are the only ones that really deserve to be mentioned in a GOAT debate imo. They all have 40+ tops, 5+ wins and 4+ Worlds participations. Everyone else is lacking at least one of these things.

[@MordecaiThe33rd]

Jeff who ?

[@ryionizer3622]

i really cannot see why andre dropped the second mulcharmy in main phase AFTER kotton already went through witch and poplar summon from hand, and after OSS'ing for ash, meaning he aint gonna normal that either. there was pretty much nothing left that he would reasonably summon from hand? the talents punish was super deserved imo

[@choujisaurio]

I think he drew it aftwe poplar

[@ryionizer3622]

@@choujisaurio there was still no reason for him to activate it

[@invertedcrayon]

[@zack_attack6040]

Probably just had really bad nerves; he looked nervous and uncomfortable the entire match

[@gotlering]

To be fair, if Jesse drew flamberge, it could've been a +1. Always better than a dead card in hand

[@janl9061]

Crazy. First place in Pokémon got $50k with a $40 deck, while first place in this poverty tournament with a $500+ deck got nothing but a handshake. We’re playing the wrong card game

at 10:11 you can see the second copy of genroku on the bottom of the deck while he pack his cards. He did play 2 genroku but for some reason decided not to add it... quite weird... he doesnt look like someone who would do such mistake...

[@Fr3d0-1]

[@envoyergame216]

Yeah he's a bad tenpaii player. He ends on a seals pass when he could've had the syncrod 7 in grave then seals pass

[@sDkrumpedon]

Tenpai could have used magna first then on res when jesse tried to imperm he could chain nib to dodge

[@charlesfort6602]

Oh yeah, that's such a great play.

[@jonanderirureta8331]

Shifter and Purulia are crazy good the first time but afterwards become garnets in deck lol

[@johnm.castillo3163]

shifter best topdeck in the tenpai handtrap pile

[@johnm.castillo3163]

Although I do agree with your point that we can's assume Jesse was doing that Necroquip draw trial during the entire YCS, you still have to wonder why he himself didn't understand the ruling or effects of his own cards. Anyone who's piloted a deck heavily understands every card and what it does so I mean I'm not accusing him but it is sorta sus...

[@yaboyvickk5635]

Nah if he was doing it all day then are u also saying u think not a single person actually knew the effect or just read the card ?

[@johnm.castillo3163]

@@yaboyvickk5635 i mean its jesse kotton most players would be yeah sure or say "its all good man everyone makes mistakes" and not say anything.

[@johnm.castillo3163]

@@yaboyvickk5635 What I'm saying is, even if they did know the effect or read the card, would you think it's likely they would have called him out on it? I feel like they would have assumed "hey its Jesse Kotton, he's just gonna get away with it bc people know him. i'll correct hom but I won't call a judge"

[@Avermra]

I think DBG already mentioned it, but if instead of going for IP he started with going for Sequence first he should be able to end on an extra Apo (2) on top of his existing board. Even if Necroquip princess worked exactly as if Jesse thought it did, this still seemed like a better play.

[@Avermra]

also, is there a reason Game 2 Jesse started Turn 3 with the Engraver? If he started with One for One he can get to Flamberge before Summon 5, and it doesn't feel like that Engraver was going to bait out any HT unless Andre topped deck an Ash Blossom edit: he had Flam in hand so maybe if there is no better discard he wasn't even thinking about trying to get to Flamberge. Still I am not sure about the reason to lead off with Engraver.

[@pretendphilosopher2300]

I love Jesse but this proves Jesse probably got that extra draw illegally throughout the tournie.

[@daxjaden8021]

Tenpai losing in the finals!? Love to see it!

[@Avermra]

he finally stopped getting the sack hands. Game 1: all the Tenpais Game 2: none the Tenpais, Shifter got counter-sacked by the one of Called By

Thank you for documenting the finals. Just saying that Konami made a typo on the written coverage. My name is just André, but they somehow got this wrong.

[@TheDBGrinder]

np np and thats crazy cause i literally asked my buddy alfie how to spell your last name just to double check but never asked about your first name LMAOOOOOOOOOO. i changed it now and also congrats on doing well , i wish you coulda drawn some real hands : (

[@johnm.castillo3163]

The issue with Andre deckbuilding is that when you play a heavy handtrap deck that is also 40 cards, sooner or later you're going to draw very little to none non-engine. I really think that the issue is, you're going to see more Nibiru which is great, but when you don't have engine to back it up, you're not going to ever get to push for game, esp when trading turns with a deck that has so many spells/ eff mons you can topdeck to pop off. I think having 3x shifter 3x charmy 3x phantazmay with the magnamhut along with the terraforming 3x sangen summoning 3x sangen kaimen just helps you get going. I think Andre definitely could have played better, but also, I mean how would you feel when you were facing a 5 time ycs champ at a finals? In my past experience, a lot of duelist think because they're facing a top player, the odds are stacked against you but I mean you have to see it like you're going up vs a computer sometimes.

[@Fenges0106]

at 10:11min you can see andre actually plays 2 genroku

[@thezestylime0989]

andre forgot to draw a card game 2 when jesse summoned poplar from hand and no one caught it

[@babrad]

I would swear Blizzard was an out to mystic mine in typical fashion "Akchtually DBG it's just a CBTG for spells, negating the activated effects of that Spell and all Spell *_effects_* on the field with that same original name" but just in case I went back to check its text and 1 word is not there (effects) making it actually worthless against continuous effects. I knew there was a reason I never used that card. And here I thought this was great card design to the point we also need a Trap version that isn't as broken as Red Reboot.

[@justawarlord]

it's a fantastic card still i ran it in prank kids to stop cosmic/twister/boardbreakers that dealth with my beloved butler

[@babrad]

@@justawarlord while i get the versatility, I thought this was a going second card by nature, allowing you to actually "negate" and not just "mst". As anti-board breaker, I can't find a reason to choose this over something non-OPT and way more versatile like Judgment (except for time) in a format where Red Reboot is banned

[@Ferna471]

That was imo one of the most anticlimactic finals ever, other than the called by on shifter it was really fast and boring match

[@KillerPad]

Maxx C version 2 made me die in diabolical 💀

[@KingDae19]

Such a bummer that Tenpai gave up second game. Jesse was down in lp and even though he summoned Diabellstar, it was mp2 so he couldn’t go for game. Playing a board breaker otk deck was built for these situations lol

[@simoventu4939]

Bad final, but so happy for Jesse

[@raulortega3104]

Are you doing the rest of the top matches? 😊

[@miguelramirez1417]

Correct me if I’m wrong but nib token 18:41 should have have 4,900 def because he also had the previous nib on board. So mut shouldn’t have been able to run it over ?

[@ThemataFGC]

Nib has 600 def, not 3000. The second Nib token had 1600 def, Ash's 1000 + Nib's 600

[@tiG]

This game needs to have first turn change rules.. I still have no idea why they haven't limited summons on first turn... That'll definitely help reshape this game but not seeing any changes makes some of these finals/semi finals games very boring to watch

[@roadblock99]

Thing is GUARANTEED he pulled that with necroquip all tournament.. He went for that straight outta habit, and bet most players let it go because he is who he is. Wonder how many free draws actually changed games...

[@dai-belizariusz3087]

tbf if he drew 1 but lost apo 2 it feels like he kinda negged himself whole tournament?

[@johnm.castillo3163]

if you let something like that go it's your fault for not preparing in advance i mean that's basically an extra deck staple now. you have to read cards!

[@roadblock99]

​@dai-belizariusz3087 nah he only got flustered after being called on it and the pressure that creates being finals, everyone watching etc.. He clearly was going for a way different line.

[@roadblock99]

​@@johnm.castillo3163while i don't entirely disagree with you, the flip side is, just don't fckn cheat. It's pathetic and ridiculous and defeats the entire purpose.. Now sure, mistakes happen, thats fine and if Jesse was operating on the continued assumption that's how necro worked, "ok"... just hard to accept that given hes one of the best players of all time, odds are he knew what he was doing and just got caught up in repetition and habit and didn't remember "hey this is finals, judges and being watched, cant do that anymore"...

[@yaboyvickk5635]

​@roadblock99 u think the most popular player there snd greatest of all time would purposely cheat on stream right I'm front of judges ??? Are u on fentanyl?
