[@Ruggles117]

I just wanted to say that it’s an absolute honor to take part in the tournament this year. Big thanks to Cimo for reaching out and for getting the community together :) I would also like to note that I hadn’t tried playing pure Sky Striker previous to that Sunday so misplays will be rampant lol Also, Lithium was an awesome guy to play with and if anyone in the comments here hasn't subscribed to him you definitely should. Wonderful guy!

[@xolotltolox7626]

Yeah you must be really bad at the deck if you didn't draw into Engage of Engage /s

[@TheHobospider]

Ah that explains the misplay at the start with the Area Zero +, Raye interaction.

[@LuisRamirez-ChaosWolf]

Game 1 was a sure win for you, even with the cold wave, the misplays really hindered you, but it is understandable if you didnt played full power Strikers

[@Ruggles117]

TheHobospider Haha yeah, as soon I realized what I had done... well... what I didn't do I was like oh no, 30+ thousand people are going to witness me misplay turn one 😂

[@nightcrawlery2j]

Ruggles I like to see more content like this from your channel. Sky striker actually take brain and skill to play. Entertaining and nice duel👏

[@Lithium2300]

Good game 💪, little unlucky with the powercreep gap, GL Ruggles 😊

[@Metallicamilo311]

powercreep, while playing royal opresion and cold wave.

[@tl4038]

@@Metallicamilo311 Whats your point?

[@wormyagan8213]

Should of played worms

[@SoraBell]

Handicapped and a true champ, Lithium2300 is the greatest

[@TiberiusKaneMoriarty]

@@tl4038 i mean they are some of rhe most powerful cards ever made. Its not like it was a handicap match

[@ouroboros_1355]

I can’t believe this, a full decade of advantage and still this was hella exciting to watch, damm

[@Marcusjnmc]

people got tired of it but playing vs striker matches could be pretty interesting/exciting sometimes

[@redreboot483]

Lithium is actually good at the game so that helps

[@Br0oham]

*OH MY GOD* What an absolute god tier ending! Hats off to both of them, they made this the most entertaining half an hour it could have been

[@nicolascavaliere7212]

If every game is gonna be as intense and entertaining as this one, this tournament is gonna be hands down the best thing on youtube since the quarantine started. Also, you and mbt are such engaging and capable commentators, I just love this

[@Marcusjnmc]

laughs in true draco vs ftk

[@oak3785]

That ending had me on the edge man, holy shit

Daddy thick protein VS papa giga meat, a battle of the ages

[@mavenYGO]

Can't wait for the all important game 3

[@hip2besquare632]

Never did i expect gladiator beasts to preform this well

[@Limon517]

You mean , you never thought banned flood gates would perform this well ?

[@Rikako_]

these two decks have one thing in common.. having spells that will never come off the banlist

[@earlofsquirrel1469]

and if you haven't guessed it already, it's...

[@awesomesauce_3516]

Gladiator Beasts

[@romanwilliams7282]

YESS!!! THIS IS THE YUGIOH I MISS AND USED TO LOVE. HELL OF A TOURNAMENT CIMO!!!

[@therranolleo468]

holy shit the best round 1 match I've seen this far MAD respect to Lithium for piloting GladBeast like a boss against SKY STRIKERS of all decks!

[@lunadachi4792]

That was some of the best Yugioh I’ve seen in a while. Great showing from both of them, I was on the edge of my seat the whole way

[@war2theren227]

Gladiator Beasts were my jam back in middle school.

[@Skykin94]

I'm a Sky Striker player I was still cheering for Glad Beasts

[@Herbstmann]

Haven‘t watched all the way through the video yet, but I have to root for the old school deck here. P.S. Ruggles, mate, I love your videos! Keep up the amazing work!

[@errorcode1815]

As a casual fan of yugioh I find the commentary in these vids top notch.. without it I wouldn't have a clue what was going on

[@solidwatercress3601]

2018 Vs 2019: if you haven't already figured it out, it's sky striker Vs sky striker

[@ranjeetkhoutinay4856]

Man Ruggles is fucking HANDSOME. What a good looking man.

[@anubiswaechter24]

Oh man I remember the first and only locals I went to, when I was like 12 and I didnt know what was going on (obv). And everyone was quite nice to me except for that one gladiator beast player who beat the crap out of me.

[@Raminator243]

What deck were you playing?

[@anubiswaechter24]

@@Raminator243 did I mention I was like 12 and came straight from playground yugioh? If I remember correctly I played my fav deck back then (and still my fav archetype) crystal beasts where I would try to win with a crystal abundance otk

[@YGOcruzer67]

Holy cow what a match!! I love this series, you & MBT's commentary makes me feel like I'm watching an actual sport haha

[@MaxUmbra]

This series is nuts I love the year specific decks Really hilarious and fun to watch 👍👍👍 Hopefully u will do more of these tournaments man Really enjoying it

[@francisbartoszewski2284]

So Ruggles had all of 2019 and didnt pick Lunalight Orcust with Mermaid and Azathot?

[@elyesasa1750]

Oh man too bad but I am proud of Lithium2300 it was a great match to see!🙏🏻💪🏻

[@LangostaV76]

This match had me at the edge of my seat from start to finish. Well played, both of you!

[@andych92]

That guy on the left looks like what you'd get if cimo and dzeef did the dbz fusion

[@BeanMagoon]

What an incredible match. Wow. Hats off to both gentlemen here!

[@fateless1484]

I feel like i just watched a anime duel. THAT level of hype and anticipation was insaine. Gg's to both of them

[@1stClassGenesis]

Mad respect for my man who sadly couldn’t advance further. I enjoy watching his deck choices and plays so much.

[@CZPC]

"Can come back to 3, if not 4." Amazing.

[@shakeweller]

Damn some cards on the Banlist for a reason hahaha (Engage, Cold Wave and Royal Oppression)

[@nonoaheart5594]

Now this is glorious, Lithium a guy all about making decks viable in today meta vs Ruggles a returning Yugioh player, both with skills to pay the bills 💗

[@WesleyParksTTV]

There’s so many awesome Yugitubers ❤️

[@MasterQuestMaster]

Lol, when I heard 2008, I randomly thought "wasn't that around the time of gladiator beasts? Would be cool if he played that" and then he DID!

[@sawuwu3108]

This was such a good match wtf

[@44rptiger]

you should include decklist in the description so we see what list are being played. similar to lithiums crossbanlist tournaments

[@emildokle261]

Power creep was the only barrier here! Great game to both but especially the obvious one in disadvantage

[@bobbyjedi978]

Yes finally one of my favorite can win rip Sam and Paul from Team APS

[@oxalis71]

The round 1 format year was a great choice. I noticed does show the power creep in the game though over time even with full power decks and now banned cards and still not beating a deck within the past few years.

[@XLuxtra]

Omg what a match. Really happy to see one of my top 10 fav Decks to steal the win in such an epic match. Thanks for for the match Ruggles and Lithium

[@erwingutierrez1104]

CIMOOOOOO fire tournament GG very good Duel konami needs to make this a thing for tournaments Exciting match ups.

[@HyperFlame64V1]

I predicted Lithi chose GLADs based off him activating Cold Wave going second. HERE WE GO BABY!!!

[@michaellockwood8019]

Hats off the both players, what an unbelievable match!

[@vaonir9164]

Striker is like my favourite deck of all time, so I am sooo hyped to see it again at full power here

[@kevinedie4119]

What an amazing match well done Ruggles

[@RoseZ7323]

Lithium made my day lol Glad Beast vs Sky Strikers and made it this close ❤️ 2 decks I love so much probably my favorite match of the tournament so far

[@TheDarknightRemix]

This was my favorite match so far. Actually incredible!

[@WesleyParksTTV]

I bet Ruggles fell in love with Stiker while play testing lol

[@brwahussen]

kudos lithium,this was one of the most fun and intense duel i’ve ever seen

[@TheVP_SSBU]

That was so close. That Judgement bait so that they wouldn't be able to use Royal Oppression was so good. Alas, powercreep was too strong.

[@lucasflaming5330]

Cimo, please have a losers bracket. It hurts to see this man get such a bad deal and barely lose.

[@_SlimYGO]

This was insane to watch!! Amazing match you guys!

[@scrubbyygo969]

GOD I was on the edge of my seat, was really pulling for glad beasts. So close but so far.

[@Mewatron]

God looking at the meta I miss sky striker being meta

[@Denyed_]

This match was awesome! * double chef's kiss *

[@omegalink314]

This is the best match I even seen

[@yugiohonabudget3466]

This is what we need, decks that are interactive so that the game is more enjoyable. Not the heavy combo decks like rock or the combo eldlich

[@hexagone7]

This is why I wanted the cross-banlist :)

[@TheTrueiceking]

might be the best yugituber grand championship match

[@shadowmetroid18]

Wait am I missing something or should Ruggles not have been able to fire that Twister because of Cold Wave?

[@Ruggles117]

The Cold Wave was negated with Solemn. It was a super risky play but it worked out lol

[@Zeroforce14]

I like Lithium but I was going for Ruggles after that Jamming Waves debacle

[@silvertongue.242_99]

Muddo I was cheering GB that was so epic though. Lithium did so good

[@jaxel_ms1990]

The 42 dislikes are the people who understood the Greedler reference and cringed all over the mouse button

[@edvalentine7372]

THIS WAS HYPE!!!!!!!! ❤️

[@RedRanger0116]

That was an awesome game by Ruggles.

[@WalmartIsClosed]

This whole match was great but that ending was epic

[@antimaster1007]

Im assuming Lithium played Glads pre TDGS? Because Equeste and Monster Effect Negator trap were missing in his built. What did get hit in the summer of 2008, that he chose to play pre TDGS?

[@Lithium2300]

Correct :-) No Equeste or Chariot, needed 3 Oppressions etc. from 2008.

[@mathiasdesmet943]

Mayby a silly question, but could ruggles set the widow ancher? I thought Lithium activated cold wave and it says until your next turn no sets for him or opponent. Could be wrong. Just wandering. Nicely played duel by the both of them tough :)

[@sawyercooke]

Favorite match yet! Looking forward to Farfa's

[@brandonbardsley7541]

What a game!!! Damn striker is crazy but beast was sooo close

[@VORTEX___]

That was amazing!

[@traplover6357]

Wow, that was close in the last game.

[@Gmaninator10]

You guys are really good at commentary

[@dere7343]

So conflicted watching this: HATE sky striker (+ vs old deck and everyone loves an underdog) but I've watched ruggles' content so want him to do well

[@phillipwhite7850]

I love ruggles and love sky strikers but was rooting for lithium here. He took it right to the line

[@griffgoldsteinreference]

That match was so hype!

[@war2theren227]

And this is why you run Hinotama, that 800 burn can win you duels

[@Leonardo-ms2nk]

Way more fun than coder ftk , this was exiting to watch

[@Da_Fookin_Nekomancer]

That ending was some anime clutch type shit.

[@danwest8127]

When you’re guaranteed to lose one of your two favourite tubers in the first round #feelsbadman

[@hungrrybear]

I like how the watchers on DB include both Actually Farfa and Farfa

[@jordan2724]

That match was incredible!

[@zalmute423]

Great game. I still think Ocrus full power is scarier than Striker but I'm also a noob.

[@ChampionMarx]

Man the spell and traps we used to have were insane.

[@flowerrs8741]

If this is any indication of how the tournament is gonna go, it's gonna be better than the excellent Crush Card Cup.

[@dotslashluis9353]

I unironically LOVE full power Sky Striker.

[@billynikakis8532]

Ahhh , glads , you deserved a normal summon monster and you would have been set with the new support. Cool game

[@MrGshinobi]

Im so happy Ruggles took this one!! Really rooting for him in this tournament :)!!!

[@thefateshavewarned]

That match was incredible. Lithium played excellently going up against a deck 10 years older than his. And the sheer back and forth of that last duel. Just incredible.

[@fightinggamesandchill.5660]

Good games for both! Being realistic 2019 is just to much for 2008 GB BUT! The cross banlist helps ALOT a make it super interesting and not completely one sided. In the end if Lithium draws royal oppression probably he wins, and if Ruggles draws engage he'll probably win, is just luck in the end

[@trexdrew]

Truly an amazing duel

[@azrael4401]

Sky Striker Players be like:”And you fools thought I were done 😈”

[@justinalexander5959]

This was really exciting

[@nicolasrodriguezbadala1024]

Wait, on that last round, shouldn't ruggles be unable to play that twin twister since cold wave lasts until lithium's next turn? Nevermind forgot about the judgement

[@xEiim305]

Yo this duel was so hype, the best one so far

[@PoKeKidMPK1]

at 22:21, instead of ruggles preemptively twin twistering lihtium's oppression, could he have saved it after special summoning kagari at 22:50 to force a -800 lp cost from lithium to negate the special summon but then chain twin twisters to destroy oppression allowing ruggles to keep kagari and get free dmg?

[@redtube8667]

Best duel of the tourney so far

[@jaredhuggett1737]

I personally believe cold wave could come back to at least one and be fair because we still have mystic mine that stops on monster effects
