Find myself coming back to this final every couple of months. What a fantastic match. I really miss in person YCS events

[@lucasflores8095]

Prolly one of the best final matches of all yugioh tourneys history, even better including the history of Brake and Schmidt.

[@YugiBoomer]

At least I got to see Joshua Schmidt win a YCS today regardless of the time rules 😂😂😂

[@yugirohanma528]

I'm glad that guy from germany won. the american dude was kind of stuck up.

[@LJW1912]

I really wish they would put a turn count on these things...

[@k_weaver1995]

havent played yugioh in years, so fucking lost i have no idea what was going on lol

[@Sehon13Ultd]

Kai Weaver never heard that one before

[@paydrawmehtss9035]

[@tarikfretes5970]

herzlichen glückwunsch joschua

[@gatewaytoanime9216]

Nochmal Yoshua und Billy im Finale Zufall XD

[@Slimjimm281]

Would have Been Nice if the commentators actually explained the cards These guys played. I have no idea whats going on.

[@Sehon13Ultd]

Slimjimm281 you expect them to explain every single card? 90% of the competitive playerbase knows what these cards do, and that's the target audience of this video.

[@LJW1912]

I've been watching Magic broadcasts recently, and they show the cards on screen and/or explain what they do, in like Pro Tours or Grand Prix, which is clearly for professionals, so I don't get why YuGiOh wouldn't... People who are trying to watch these to understand the competitive game (such as myself) are so confused

[@deanthelemur1716]

completely agree man

[@foji-video]

I agree, I mean, okay not explaining cards that were relevant for like one year, like toad or drident.. but the infernoroids.. no idea what they do

[@marvinehre9770]

They usually explain the stuff and show the cards in the earlier rounds.

[@ThePartyBoyzZ]

sauber Joshua hammer ^^

[@EcclesiaSS]

Was ash out yet? I know it came out in 2017

[@yannik357]

No it came out in Maximum Crisis which was a few months after this YCS

[@ajthelwell6357]

are all eu judges that chill compared to na?

[@Sehon13Ultd]

AJ Thelwell what is ba

[@ajthelwell6357]

Sehon13Ultd *NA sorry

[@dante9284]

30:20 did joshua activate marella and not dump something from his deck? Can he do that?

[@luckyilagged2424]

I noticed that too.. Im very sure you have to send

[@Don_Mindfreak]

yeah, it seemed like both players forgot about that and for joshua it was just about summoning the paleozoic he had enough targets in his deck though and he won shortly after, so it's really irrelevant tbh

[@dante9284]

Thank god he still had targets. Not that I doubt someone like joshua, but even the possibility of illegal activation --> win would have ruined what was a great game a well deserved tournament win.

[@ed0nculati0n_97]

Lol it's kind of funny I always figured there would be a day in yugioh where decks would get so crazy that the amount of resources in your deck was more important than playing less cards to increase consistency. We are at the level where 60 card decks are now the best, no longer 40. On the other hand, maybe it has a lot to do with how broken grass is greener is.

[@Sehon13Ultd]

ED0NCULATI0N _ they don't play 60 to increase their resources dude. They play 60 because of grass looks greener. Educate yourself.

[@juke5875]

Nice

[@harrisonlipton]

Not just Grass--60 is to resolve at least 2 Desires per game

[@ricerico5237]

that apple xD

[@kuribozz6303]

Im sorry but i dont understand how he coul,d use the grass looks greener when they both have 60 cards. can someone explain it to me? ._.

[@paulwookey1144]

Kuribozz in game one he used as pot of desires had been activated so josh had less cards in the deck

[@kuribozz6303]

aaah k thanks i missed that

[@RomeoBarnes]

Who knew Magical Android would be relevant in 2017... think about that.

[@rekhyt656]

and Joschua again

[@logan6743]

While it didn't change anything, at 6:52 he does change where his trap card is set which i believe is illegal, you think they would catch something like that in the finals.

[@breecebateman83]

It wasn't illegal at all

[@andrianbrandenburg1952]

Die spielfehler wurden nicht gesehen von Joshua oder? Dafür hätte er strike bekommen müssen 😱

[@EfrenDEAM]

me caga que a cada rato estén viendo los cementerios, una y otra vez

[@standardobjectives]

2:59

[@scourgeeater]

why did he negate the pot... like what

[@YuGiOhTunisie]

Sometimes, not giving him that +1 is Critical.

[@scourgeeater]

True but at the same time, in situations like this, unless the card they're playing is going to directly answer the board there is no reason to negate. Especially against a deck like Paleozoic which usually answers boards 1 monster at a time with 1 for 1s it would've taken more than 1 card to clear the board had he not negated the pot.

[@111espejo]

KONAMI BANLIST FOR THE FROG XYZ

[@UltraXD64]

111espejo bruh you don't even the know the name
