Yugioh WCQ American Championship 2014 Finals - Korey McDuffie (H.A.T) vs Deon Akridge (H.A.T)

[@WaanyiLanguage]

This honestly was the golden age of yugioh

[@KoreyProMcDuffie]

Thank you all for the support ;)

[@linoftw]

"but the field tells a different tale" - announcer guy 2014

[@pimpinjhonjhon2375]

I hope H.A.T. wins.

[@Equalyze]

Hah! I love how you see McDuffie say "sh*t..." when he doesn't have a response to Akridge's Needle Ceiling at 10:29.

[@13Dragonblade]

funny cause he hate's the card.

[@fellowtraveler]

Rest in peace Korey, you are never forgotten

[@hgetgbg2e1f]

Rip Corey

[@fallenpsycho82]

Announcers were idiots, let's focus on the fact that trap hole gets banished when they were wrong instead of he still has his opponents myrmeleo

[@vgmaster02]

woooooo...HAT vs HAT. So exciting.... Where's my Mermail raping Lightsworn Ruler at?

[@sl7383]

RIP Korey MacDuffie

[@rachelcollins5218]

Netdecking is a much needed part of an TCG. If you really hate the deck that everyone is netdecking that badly, why don't you build a deck that can beat it instead of complaining about it? I say netdecking is necessary because without it a lot of people who enjoy this game would be completely lost (not to mention you almost have to netdeck when you first start unless you completely rely on a friend). You can always take a deck you netdecked and change it to your style. If all you know how to do is netdeck and buy the complete deck, card for card, and feel good when you win, well then more power to you. You probably have a lot of money and very little intelligence. Personally, when I do that and win it doesn't feel like an accomplishment. People need to stop being so salty about netdecking. It is here to stay, there is no way you'll ever get rid of it. Deal with it, improve yourself, and stop complaining. Just know that you are a better player than that guy that just netdecked and spent an ungodly amount on getting the cards he needed.

[@hillchristopher52]

I agree, I haven't played yugioh in ages but I plan on buying a deck but imma add in cards that best suit me, im just not sure what to go for, a lot has changed since I last played, if I can get a deck like I have in my millennium duels game then it will be pretty well rounded lol

[@Darkkefka]

Korey.....I've been to your store in the past. Never knew you where this good in dueling.....guess I should tip my hat to you........

[@herrschnee716]

Banned in YGO, cheated on cam in MtG.

[@monnik9089]

and now he passed away :/

[@SaladYGO]

I watched this in person we had to scream for the myrmeleo to be returned to the correct side of the field after 101 died lol

[@rabbitenthusiast]

cap G's predictions... not even close lol

[@FreemanVonDon]

Waiting for the hat player that plays magical hats

[@iseeyounoobs]

I am very glad that stun was in the finals. It has been a while since we had the opportunity for something like this.

[@Tipo190]

what card he plays in 25:34?

[@masterbruce2735]

RIP Korey McDuffie.....got high with him the night of his big win and now he's gone.....

[@buntaro6663]

RIP Korey

[@covershopkid]

That was intense. I understand the anger in people because both of these decks are very boring, but that was a fantastic match. Much thought and well played out.

[@vuzyra9211]

one of the best formats like ....goat ...edison...,,pot,, old ygo... best ygo

[@zukusenryu]

crazy these two are from the same locals with pat hoban. thats a hell of a locals

[@6lifestowaste]

RIP yugioh.

[@dio4296]

I agree...

[@lovetownsend]

it was over at dragonrulers bro. best format in my opinion was after dragons- i mean, anytime monarchs are topping, I'm happy. but what can you say, businesses goal are to make money first and foremost.

[@mucholokobro976]

how old are these guys?

[@t4d0W]

well what do you know? After months and months of hanging around the bottom rung of top 8's, HAT finally gets the nod in nats. I'm thinking many people playedt he deck as well in the event.

[@jjmagic001]

The crazy part about seeing this is I know both of them. They go to my locals

[@Allistar123]

***** Aspergers

[@13Dragonblade]

Allistar123 Really? Poor guy, he plays well though.

[@pitukingo]

Very good match. Commentator were on top of their game. If only they could zoom in the camera a lol more it'd be ideal to watch just a lil bit. Idk maybe 5 inches more

[@Razorr20]

stupid question here but what do they write down?

[@13Dragonblade]

Life points

[@acetraker1988]

I would like to see the peoples deck lists, i know the winner showed his.

[@whitaker_media]

Mirror match in the finals....... so entertaining

[@crimson7tew]

McDuffie threw is COTH in the graveyard for no reason. He complused the monster he brought back and randomly just put it in the graveyard.

[@khaoskroc]

Rest in peace Duff man. 😢

[@avoidme1]

H.A.T too good, everyone Burt hurt over this deck winning, what did u want to win lightsworn? Bujns? Dragons? No

[@nby333]

Well yes. I would have loved to see any non-stun deck in the finals and win.

[@Shadowbolt2011]

Hat is good but it would be nice to see an aggressive deck like blackwings win.

[@The_Sentai_System]

Shadowbolt2011 If only blackwings were good. Although I do wish a lot of decks were good, like vampires and boxers. I even wish Sylvans were better (they aren't bad but not they are slow.)

[@kilamkam]

Before that needle ceiling play i kept thinking i'd go tiras and atk.. Then blow up one of those back row.. He leaves the Moralls on the field lol....

[@rickdoe4469]

tbh... its kind of disgusting how many misplays both of these players made durin the tournament and still came out on top... when zeman made like one misplay and it wasnt even big (not using troopers effect) and still lost.... but thats yugioh in a nutshell

[@matthewmitchell9491]

Yet no one has straight flush trap card

[@philwil0789]

That needle ceiling though!!!!! Jesus

[@fernandogimeno3274]

anyone else notice korey literaly stealing deon mymermeleo with the 101 play, i mean he detached and it ended up in koreys grave

[@eulefranz944]

memory of an adversary... ~I bet G flipped his computer

[@NinjaSushi007]

Did anyone notice Korie detached honor ark and sent myrmeleo to HIS grave? lmao

[@raven666forever]

H.A.T. is going to worlds !!! whooo

[@acetraker1988]

you can play any deck, you q with any deck.

[@jamesgray1850]

considering moraltech is at 1 at worlds i doubt it haha

[@acetraker1988]

james gray yeah but there are new lists pre then.

[@jamesgray1850]

na the list for world's is out and moraltech is at 1

[@ZektromBlack]

james gray what? are a trol? I couldnt find any list in the internet.

[@ljaquos]

48:45 SO MANY LIFE POINTS ROFL

[@ronyajlor]

And the crowd goes WILD! at Debunk hahahaha I like that, now that's worth screaming for by the audience....COMEBACK!

[@13Dragonblade]

Debunk is good card. I am glad I got them when they were cheap.

[@jimbo103189]

Is it just me or does Akridge always seem to have more cards in his hand than he should??

[@13Dragonblade]

He loves to confuse his opponent which isn't bad because then 4 cards come down and the other player shits his pants.

[@kaiserkin]

lol Duffie got his Myrmeleo

[@MuxusLordofthehorde]

RIP korey!!

[@Sitarman345]

Great commentary from these announcers at babby's first tourney. Seriously, who are these guys? They have a solid grasp of the fundamentals but that's all.. They incorrectly called every decision, their analysis was almost non-existent. It would've been about the same if not better if they just got Dan Green who doesn't know jack about the competitive game to just read out each of their plays.

[@FreemanVonDon]

Deon got too greedy game 2 with the blind space, save it for fiendish chains/call of the haunted. Also game 3 he shouldn't have compiulsed,

[@XDarkArchon]

Actually know him, his reasoning for the blind space made sense. He only had one play wich was to summon dionea and he needed tole play to go off so he tried to blind space the trap that would stop his summon. The only card you're afraid of blind msting in that deck is sanctum and he said "if korey had sanctum set I was going to lose anyway"

[@MightyXMarc]

Most boring duel I've ever seen. Both players are terrified to make a play because of the back row set. So passive and daunting. Nothing fancy or explosive, no huge pushes or extensive turns. Set, check back row, go. Next format is going to be the same, let's hope pendulums change yugioh for the better.

[@sarahcompton3091]

I enjoy passive and daunting. People have no right to assume it is automatically bad and that everyone agrees. I personally find aggression and speed to be very bland and pointless.

[@VortexBlessing]

Hats going to worlds which means it's getting hit fuxk yes fuck moral tach

[@Jrspartan0622]

...konami... is this what you want...

[@Br0ckHall]

thrilling

[@Tre4rmCLTproductions]

#bitaly2014 #cardgamesorgtfo #trebarnes :D Praise Trapmaster Deon!

[@SlothBrosGaming]

he took his myrm

[@MrMasteryder]

Spoiler : HAT won

[@jl1617]

Why do they have commentators that don't know shit? Warning the hand really

[@sora4440]

While the HAT deck is good. It is god awfully boring to play. I'd rather watch cement dry than watch a HAT deck play. And its a mirror lol. Props to both of you guys for getting there... HAT is boring to play, watch, and play against. No shade thrown at the deck. But even people that like the deck have to admit that it is boring it just works and wins...

[@13Dragonblade]

Glad I play HT instead of HAT. Also if you want auto pilot there are a lot of other decks that are boring.

[@vamptcg]

f

[@MasterOfTheCrystals]

I can't tell what it is now, but I really don't like Korey, like just something about him...might be his face lol

[@KoreyProMcDuffie]

dont blame you, I hate him

[@MasterOfTheCrystals]

lol

[@MasterOfTheCrystals]

then its fair

[@13Dragonblade]

Don't feel bad most people don't. Especially if you see his deck review the way he talks could irk players.

[@MasterOfTheCrystals]

13Dragonblade lol I don't feel bad, like I'm not saying something is wrong with him, just I don't like him or something about him.

[@SaintStrength0]

BBBBOOOOOOO!!!

[@teamhighlightsieg610]

DEUTSCHLAAAAAAAND

[@SkyFire2112]

So happy this deck is dead

[@kingofyoutube7]

more like nerdship

[@lovetownsend]

format: pop/negate. horrible duel, horrible where yugiohs going. I agree, dead. konami prints up new cards you gotta buy with money since they are best instead of leveling out all decks to be pure skilled base (taking away throw-in-cards which rapidly change duel based on luck of draw; most meta traps, dark hole, soul exchange, etc.) but that'll never happen. konami is a business first and formost.

[@bajdzsanazer6621]

hearthstone is way better. this ccg just way chaotic

[@StonerPower07]

I don't even care who wins , it's obviously gonna be hat.... Disliking this video for the boring mirror match.

[@KingOfGamesss]

Your Question: Why not use 40 card decks? My Answer: because it has been mathematically proven that smaller size decks are UNFAIR and CHEATING against bigger size decks and they are BORING, cheap, unoriginal, noob copied, Single Player training Troll decks that don't earn you any respect or friends. Your Question: ok well what if we only have 40 vs 40 fair duels then? My Answer: ...I repeat...they are BORING, cheap, unoriginal, noob copied, Single Player training Troll decks that don't earn you any respect or friends AND there's no guarantee your opponent will use a 40 card deck AND......why would you? My Question: Why would you? Your Answer: well...umm because 40 card decks are more powerful and help us to draw the cards we need for our winning combo... My Reply: ...yeah but your opponent is ALSO using the same kind of powerful 40 card deck that allows THEM to draw the cards THEY need for THEIR winning combo...so again I ask...why would you?...and why not play 60 vs 60 fair duels instead? My Question: Why not play 60 vs 60 fair duels? Your Reply: ...BECAUSE I DON'T KNOW HOW TO BUILD A GOOD 60 CARD DECK ALRIGHT!!!!....i'm not skilled enough and I HATE LOSING!...it makes me cry, this game is too hard and i'm still an impatient noob...I don't want to learn how to become a pro duellist over time through experience...I WANT TO BE THE BEST DUELLIST IN THE WHOLE WORLD RIGHT NOW!!!...and i'm super jealous of you. My Reply: I know......I know, there there now......everything will be ok. I will protect you from the big bad Professional Competitive REAL duellists. Your Reply: Really? My Reply: Nahh

[@KingOfGamesss]

dragonicstrider did I say that?...YOU FROGGY JUMPING FNS

[@The_Sentai_System]

I'm sorry but if you are seriously playing a sixty card deck then it isn't good. And if I'm cheap and unoriginal for playing a 40 card Penguin deck, well then I'll be unoriginal with my Penguins.

[@KingOfGamesss]

creatorofevil and cheating...don't forget cheating

[@RandyRhoadsFan101]

KingOfGamesss Playing with a 40 card deck isn't cheating, it's the official deck minimum and perfectly legal. Please don't make invalid arguments without knowing all the facts.

[@KingOfGamesss]

Jinzo Fannatic seven and a half lines i read until I got bored and couldn't read any more lol...sorry buddy but all I can say is go read my video description and comments and if you don't like it then too bad, just hope we don't meet in a duel because I WILL waste your time by making you sit and WAIT while I type out the reason why I am about to rage quit on you for cheating...and then I will leave the duel...maybe even just before you "win" the duel or maybe I won't leave at all if I'M WINNING THE DUEL :) have a nice day

[@spookyspookat5038]

RIP Korey
